K9 City is a family run business. A husband and wife team (Paul & Sheryl) were born & raised in South Africa. Sheryl studied accounting and Paul was a civil engineer student and trained dogs. Paul trained for Shutzhund, tracking, obedience and protection work. One Sunday afternoon Paul and Sheryl were driving home after a long day of dog competitions with his exhausted dog passed out on the back seat. All of a sudden, the car died and they were stuck at the traffic light. Before they knew what was happening they were surrounded by a group of threatening men. Knowing full well how this scenario usually ended, Paul jumped out of the car and pulled his dog off the back seat. As soon as his dog sensed the danger he gave a low warning growl. Although totally exhausted and barely able to stand he increased his growl as the men encircled the car. Fearing for their lives, the men ran back to their car, drove around Pauls car and sped off. It was at that moment that Paul realized if a dog were trained, handled correctly and given what he needs, he in turn would give us what we want, always and unconditionally. Shortly after that incident, Paul completed his civil engineering degree. Paul and Sheryl married and then immigrated to the United States. Paul knew his calling was to pursue his passion and love for dogs. He felt he could contribute greatly to dog training in the States and offer a fresh approach to understanding dog psychology. He believes that dogs shouldn’t be trained to be robotic; they should be trained into thinking family companions and loyal pets. He bases his classes’ on that premise by giving dogs what they NEED in life; simply, they need to contribute towards a pack or team environment.

At K-9 City they have successfully proven this approach. If you train your dogs to think for themselves, not just to sit and stay on command, you teach them self control, you provide a job and a position in your pack or family and they will fulfill their job to the fullest..
