Why K9SF Dog Training?
Founded by Ryan Albaugh, a former Police, Department of Defense (Afghanistan), & Department of State (Kabul Embassy) K9 Handler/Trainer, K9SF is all about working with dogs and their owners to foster a truly unbreakable bond and a feeling of mutual respect. We are a small, premium level dog training company focused on offering quality, private, one-on-one training that is custom tailored to you and your dog's needs. We bring years of experience working with dogs in many different ways and that allows us to provide the best possible service and outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
I've never done any kind of training with my dog before. Can K9SF help me understand what I need to do to be successful?
Absolutely! Many of our clients are new to dog training and we are happy to walk through the entire process and plan for you and your dog. Clients who are engaged and stick to their training plan with their dog are the ones who will be most successful and be happiest with their ultimate results. Feel free to reach out to us with any specific questions you might have about the training process!
Can I schedule an appointment outside of your normal appointment hours?
Yes. We have core appointment hours to be respectful to our trainers and allow them to have the ability to spend time with friends and family but oftentimes we can accommodate appointments outside of our normal appointment hours. Please reach out to us with your specific request and we'll see what we can work out.
