K9 Protection Sports
& patrol work
Outside of training pet dogs, NK9 owner & head trainer, Angela, is extremely passionate about bitework--especially
protection sports.
​
To compete in this arena, handler-dog teams must strike a balance of
aggression & obedience, displaying
a wonderful testament to the
hard work of the trainer and
high caliber, working line breeds.
Angela's Belgian Malinois (Nala) holds the title of PSA2 and is currently training in the 3's of PSA (Protections Sport Association). They have shown at the National level together multiple times and love
competing as a team.
Those interested in any discipline
incorporating bitework (sport, PPD,
or patrol) are welcome to inquire
via email to set up a temperament assessment and learn more!
It is worth noting that very few
breeds and dogs are suitable
for bitework, but if you are interested
in getting involved and learning we would
be happy to set up a consultation!

Nosework & Shed Hunt
Up and Coming: Soon we will
be offering programs for those
interested in the sports of Nosework
and Shed Hunt!
​​
At NK9 we encourage handlers
to engage with their dogs in
activities and play which
enhanced their relationship; and sport
is a delightful way to accomplish this!
Through sport training you will learn​
not only how to train and handle
your dog better, but you will also
grow closer together as you learn
how to communicate more clearly.
Competition is not necessary to accomplishing these goals, but engaging
in some sort of activity outside of
every day "pet life" often is for many dog owners.
​
For any handler-dog team interested, it must be understood that a higher level of commitment and vigilance is required to be considered for the afore mentioned programs (notably, as it pertains to
disciplines or sports involving bitework).​
But it is worth it!
​
And on that note, if you are searching for a green or finished dog (as it relates to detection, sport, or patrol)
email us and let's get the conversation started!
