At Southpaw K9, training is more than commands and compliance. It’s about connection, clarity, and communication.

 

We specialize in premium obedience training designed to meet your dog exactly where they are, and bring out their very best. Led by retired Master Sergeant Ryan Davila, whose background in field trial retriever competition and bird hunting brings unmatched precision to his work, our training programs are custom-built for each dog’s personality, drive, and needs.

 

We offer comprehensive on-lead and off-lead obedience work, focusing on clear communication, balanced methods, and real-world results.

 

Our approach is about earning engagement and joining the human pact. When a dog wants to work with you, everything changes.

 

Yes, there are moments when pressure is part of the process, but we apply it thoughtfully, professionally, and with the dog’s trust at the center.

 

The result? Confident dogs who understand their role, feel safe in their structure, and respond with focus. Even off leash. But we don’t stop at training dogs. We help the owners learn too. Because your ability to lead calmly, clearly, and consistently is what makes training successful.

 

If you’re ready for freedom, confidence, and a deeper bond with your dog, this is where it starts.
