FirstBarkI was impressed at our first session. My almost 2 year old Dogo Argentino is not the easiest to get going in protection work, but Connor helps bring it out in him. Can't wait to see my guy grow and become more confident in this work.

Amazing group of trainers! Very knowledgeable and encouraging! I love seeing the progress I’m having with each and every session! I will highly recommend K9 Defense!
K-9 Defense worked alongside Foothills Canine Academy for a 5 week course on engagement. Connor and Wes were so informative and we have noticed huge improvements with our 2 year old lab mix. She is more focused on us vs the external environment which was a huge trigger for her!

These guys are fantastic to work with! As with most dog sports - word of mouth rules all...and that's how I was referred! I am a performance sport handler (not a PSA groupie)...so I wasn't aware of this company before I was told by a friend. I was looking for Rufflands that were the right size and configs for my dogs/car. They not only texted me back promptly and helped me out when there is a lack of supply everywhere, but they also let me try my dogs in different sizes AND put crates in my car to make sure the fit was right. These guys go above and beyond! I don't leave Google reviews, but this one was worth the time and warranted!

What a wonderful group of professionals at K9 Defense!! We started working with K9 Defense to help us train our Belgian Malinois to be more focused/engaged with us and less concerned with “distractions”. We have appreciated the personal attention from trainers George, Wes, and Mallory, and all are dedicated to guiding us in how to best handle and understand our dog. We learn something new at every lesson, and what a positive difference we have seen in just a few weeks. We are so happy with the work K9 Defense does and plan to keep working with them indefinitely. Highly, highly recommend this team!
