About Shannon's K9
My entire life revolved around animals.
Growing up, my first job, at the age of 10, was walking my neighbor’s dogs. I had so much fun taking them out with my pup, Blaze.
By 16, I got an after-school job at the local pet store. During that time, I learned more about the care and love between animals and humans.

Services
Hikes
Hikes are a great way to socialize and exercise your pup. It all begins with us visiting your home and meeting your dog. The purpose is to see that the puppy will be a good fit for the pack and to answer any questions. We pick the dogs and take them to the Santa Monica mountains for structured playtime. We work with them on on-leash manners, basic obedience commands, and recall. Your dogs will also be introduced to other dogs who will become lifelong friends. We always focus on safety, taking percussions during transport, and the trail itself.
Overnights
Dogs that are part of the Sk9 family are offered this exclusive overnight experience. The dogs can stay with one of our handlers in their home for the night. The dogs will know the handler from the trail and therefore have a relationship with them. This one-on-one time is extraordinary for both the handler and the pup.
Daycare
If you have a busy day and need your pup out longer than the hike time, this feature would work well for you. We will keep your dog after the hike and allow them to relax and nourish. The dog will be brought back home once you arrive and are ready. This is also a great way to keep working on the handler and dog relationship.
Walks
This service offers a quick 30 minutes walk with one of our handlers. We will come by and take your pup out for a walk and return him home after that.
