STK9 Training Company specializes in professional obedience, behavior modification, nose work, and sport dog services. STK9 is operated by Samantha and Matt Taylor.
At STK9 Training Company, our goal is to improve the lives of both our human and canine clients by creating solid lines of communication between the two. We believe that when dogs clearly understand what is expected from them, they will be happier and better behaved. We strive to build a happy and stress-free working relationship between dog and owner using balanced training methods tailored specifically to each individual dog.
Training Programs Offered

We offer different training programs to fit your dog's needs. These programs are offered in a day train program style. In our day train programs, students are dropped off and picked up daily, Monday through Friday, until training is complete. If interested in boarding while training, this can be offered with an additional boarding fee.
For current programs offered, you can check out STK9's website at www.stk9trainingcompany.com. You can also email the trainers at stk9trainingcompany@gmail.com to discuss your dog's individual training needs.
While in boarding or daycare at the Pasadena Pet Motel, STK9 offers:
- Nose work games, which work on a dog's instinctual independent hunting and problem solving skills. This is great for mental stimulation, social enrichment and confidence building. Cost is $50 a day and is by reservation only Monday through Friday.
- Refresher training is offered for students that have graduated from a training program of STK9's. Cost is $50 a day and by reservation only Monday through Friday.
