Welcome to SDK9C

We are a Law Enforcement/Veteran owned, proud Texas business. Our mission is to bring quality canine training to our South Texas, Coastal bend area and beyond. SDK9C can provide a variety of training aspects to enhance handler/team safety, efficiency, and win in the courtroom. Additionally, we want to bring that same structured training to our community through private obedience sessions.

In addition to providing a variety of seminars and workshops, we also provide consulting services to our law enforcement and private security partners to ensure that practices and policies are where they need to be to best serve your customers. We also provide custom tailored obedience packages for you and your pet.
