Kingdom K9 Poway

Kingdom K9 is far more than a typical dog training and boarding facility. They have been training and caring for Kenai for over two years, and their dedication has never wavered. Their team truly becomes like family, providing exceptional care and personalized attention to every pet. During boarding, they make sure your dog receives the engagement and support they need, and their training programs are designed not only for the dog but also to help owners build confidence and consistency. I highly recommend Kingdom K9. They don’t just train or board your pets—they become a trusted extension of your family.

We sent our 5-year-old Great Dane to Kahlil at Kingdom K9 after she started showing some resource guarding, and wow… what a difference! She came back listening, responsive, and so well-behaved. The transition from training back to home was seamless, and now over two months later she’s still on her best behavior (and we’re still amazed). The best part? She loved being there. As a dog parent, you always wonder if they’re having a good time and being cared for—our girl clearly adored Kahlil and his team. It was such a relief knowing she was not only learning but also happy and loved. If you’re in San Diego and need a dog trainer, Kahlil is absolutely your guy. Five stars all the way!

Kingdom K9 is ✨️THE PLACE✨️ you need to take your dog to get trained! Khalil and his team go above and beyond. Mu daughter brought Moa her 2 year old Australian shepherd to Kingdom K9 as a last straw since Moa was very reactive to other dogs & people. Plus Moa's behavior at the house was getting more territorial, rebellious and did not know about personal space. And Moa's strong attachment to my daughter didnt make it any easier so Kahlil advised my daughter to enroll Moa on his 3 week boarding program, after some thinking we dicided to go thru it..yes it was very difficult being away from Moa those 3 weeks but the results were life changing (plus we were able to see Moa once a week and it was wonderful to see her progress during those weeks) Before the training Moa would nibble on me, jump on me from how excited she would get, i couldnt go into my daughters room without Moa making sure I couldnt get near my own daughter (since that was Moa's territory) and now Moa respects me and my space and she doesnt jump all over me. Now i can feel Moa's love & affection that she wants to express. I now am able to feel in control of Moa rather than her controlling me. Her reactivity with dogs & people is gone! Moa is able to play & socialize with other dogs and is able to be around strangers no problem. Her walks are perfect! No more pulling and no more barking at everything that moves. Moa listens to everything we tell her to do. Also she learned the word "place" and that word goes a very long way (if you know you know) We feel so very blessed to have found kingdom K9 without them we wouldnt be able to let Moa live her life to the fullest! My daughter is extremely excited to be able to take Moa everywhere she goes. I recognize the hard work of kahlil and I say thank you for that huge improvement he was able to achieve with Moa and thank you for what is still to come with Moa's current trainings. From my family and I thank you so much to Kahlil and his wonderful team at Kingdom K9 they do extraordinary work!

We came to Kahlil for help with our 6 month old Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler. We were so frustrated with her because she was leash reactive and was always pulling on the leash while walking. We did a 3-week board and train and the difference it made is insane! Cali is such a different dog on walks now! She stays right by us while walking, can be sitting right next to a barking dog without reacting and is always responsive to our commands. Even our neighbors have commented on how well behaved Cali is now. Kahlil is awesome and, if you trust and follow the process, you and your dog will be better for it! Highly recommend Kahlil and Kingdom K9.
