Axel Van der Borght | K9 Training Center

Axel Van der Borght works as a private dog trainer free lance for the K9 Training Center.

Axel started in the obedience programme, moved to training and became a certified Belgian ring decoy ( Sint-Hubertus ) and mondioring decoy. He specialised especially in training in a positive way with the clicker and platforms.

As an decoy and trainer, Axel especially loves bringing up puppies.

Thanks to this positive approach to training dogs and especially in bitework, he had the opportunity to give seminars in the USA, Denmark and the UK on several occasions.

As a private trainer, he prefers to help dog and owner from the very beginning but also helps with problems.

Axel gives lectures and demos about working and using dogs for example at secondary schools and dog clubs.

Johan est une véritable encyclopédie ambulante lorsqu'il s'agit des pedigrees des bergers malinois. Grâce à ses années d'expérience en tant qu'éleveur de haut niveau, son rôle au sein du FMBB, en tant que retraité, en tant qu'entraîneur, ... on peut faire aveuglément confiance à quelqu'un qui connaît son métier. La qualité avant la quantité.

The K9 Training Center is truly unique. I have seen many training centers all over the world. It doesn't surprise me at all that Johan has accomplished this. It is the logical consequence of his many years of activities. Only the best is good enough for Johan. I am a little jealous, but he is very lucky.
