OF LOVE AND DEFENCE.
How The Founders Went From
Passion to Protection
For Mark and James, K9-International was never just a business — it was a calling shaped by a lifetime of loyalty, courage, and a shared belief in what true protection means.
Mark Waldron
Mark’s story began at home, surrounded by dogs that were treated not as tools, but as family. His father’s gentle philosophy toward greyhound racing left a lasting impression — every retired racer was welcomed into their home, loved and cared for until their final days. That early lesson in compassion grew into a lifelong bond between man and dog.
Years later, Mark’s career in commercial security and private protection gave him a deep understanding of what families truly fear — and what brings them peace of mind. His work has always been about helping people feel safe in the place that matters most — their home.
James Wozencroft
For James, it started with one dog — a Belgian Malinois named Ceasar. What began as companionship during long night shifts quickly became a partnership built on trust, intelligence, and discipline.
Ceasar revealed to James the extraordinary capabilities that lie within the right kind of training, and the even greater power of connection. What followed was a journey of mastery — from handler courses and behavioural studies to training dogs that would go on to serve families, professionals, and international clients with unwavering reliability.
When Mark and James crossed paths, it was clear they shared something rare — a deep respect for dogs not just as protectors, but as family members who bring comfort, security, and love. Together, they built K9-International with one goal: to create an organisation where every dog embodies loyalty, strength, and peace of mind — and every client gains not just protection, but a lifelong companion.
“What started as a shared love for dogs became a mission to raise world-class protection companions trusted by families around the globe”.
