What can I expect when

adopting a trained dog?

All foster pups trained by SFK9 learn to sit, down, and climb. They are taught proper leash manners as well as entryway etiquette and general household manners. We set a firm foundation for both house and crate training. Our pups are socialized with strangers, children, other dogs, and even cats on a regular basis. They are exposed to real life situations including riding in cars, going to pet stores, busy public streets, hiking in forest preserves, and so much more. All our trained pups come with training support to help them transition into their new homes and unlimited follow up training to maintain the skills they have learned during their training with us. We stand behind our students and their families for life!

Where do these dogs come from?

SFK9 works with rescue contacts, other trainers, charities providing service dogs, veterinary practices, local licensed breeders, and sometimes even private owners in need of re-homing their dog for various reasons. In each situation, the dogs we take on are trained before they are re-homed. We utilize these situations not only help a dog in need, but also as a hands on learning opportunity for our apprentice program.

Unlimited training follow up provided through SFK9 is a condition listed on the adoption agreement for each dog we train and place.
