K-9 Defense

If I could give them 100 stars, I would! My husband and I got referred to K-9 Defense by a local K9 handler we highly respect. We were looking for a reputable facility to train our 6 month female Belgian Malinois. Chris responded to my inquiry immediately, asked a few questions and we instantly scheduled an evaluation a few days later. From the first evaluation, we knew we found the right facility. The knowledge and skill level of every trainer we interacted with was impressive. We felt welcome from day one. After our evaluation, we agreed to the program recommended by Chris and signed her up for an 8 week long board and train program. We received regular updates on her progress to include awesome pictures of her in action. Once her program was nearing completion, Mallory set us up to come in and get trained to communicate with Kharma the way they trained her to communicate. Mallory has remained very involved with our progress with Kharma and the entire staff feels like family to us. We can feel their excitement for us when we share pictures and progress updates with them and each time we return to the facility with Kharma for additional feedback and training. Yesterday I challenged her in a huge way and took her to the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show for her first major public outing. Using all of the tools that I've been provided from Mallory and the team at K-9 Defense, my pup was absolute PERFECTION the entire morning! I could NOT have been more proud and excited as I was yesterday! My first thought was how I couldn't wait to share the experience with and update Mallory and all of the staff at the training facility! My husband and I are so impressed with the team that we are already working with them to train our 6yr old GSD/Belgian Malinois! The joy I've received from building this bond with Kharma is priceless! It speaks volumes since I got Kharma after suffering the unexpected and traumatic loss of my 6yr old female GSD. The team at K-9 Defense has blessed me with an excitement and drive I didn't think I was capable of feeling during my extreme grief. Every day I look forward to coming home from work to do our training sessions together and continue to watch my girl thrive. We are fur-ever grateful to Mallory as well as the entire team at K-9 Defense! Once you decide to trust them with your canine, you find you have a whole new group of family members just waiting to do nothing but support you and your companion in any and every way...any time! I could go on and on about this amazing group of trainers but, I'm sure a lot of people have already stopped ready at this point. 😉 IF you are looking for the best possible group of people to work with your canine....for any reason at all .. K-9 Defense is without a doubt, the best you will find! We regret absolutely nothing and will always be deeply grateful to them for enriching our lives more than we could have anticipated. Thank you to Mallory and the ENTIRE team!!!

K9 Defense provides an number of service such as training, boarding, and fixing aggression in dogs. I attended a training course with them and the program is based on the principles of canine behavior and psychology, and it is designed to be both effective and humane. The program is well-structured and easy to follow, and the instructors are knowledgeable and passionate about their work. I learned a great deal about canine behavior and how to read my dog's body language. I also learned how to use my voice and body language to communicate effectively with my dog. I highly recommend the Canine Defense program to any dog owner who wants to learn how to protect themselves and their dog. The instructors are experienced and easy to get along with. The program is tailored to the individual needs of each dog and owner. If you are looking for a comprehensive and effective way to protect yourself and your dog, I encourage you to check out K9 Defense.

Training with K9 Defense has been and continues to be an extraordinary experience. The entire staff has played a crucial role in shaping K9 Whiskey’s exceptional growth. His drive to work, obedience to odor, and confidence in hunting independently have improved beyond measure, making us a stronger, more effective team in the fight against illicit drugs. Attending the @k9defense Handler Academy was one of the best decisions we’ve made. We had the honor of learning from some of the most skilled professionals in the industry and building lifelong friendships along the way. The team’s passion, dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to leading by example are truly remarkable. We’re excited to continue our training journey with K9 Defense and are grateful for their support in helping us reach new heights!
