Khalil at Kingdom K9 truly goes above and beyond. It’s immediately clear how deeply he cares for every single dog he works with, and just as importantly, how much he genuinely cares about the owners too. He doesn’t just train dogs — he educates people, which has made the entire process not only effective but actually enjoyable.His training techniques are clear, understandable, and incredibly helpful. Khalil makes sure owners truly grasp the philosophies behind the training, not just that the dogs perform the behaviors. That has given us the confidence to carry everything out on our own once we’re back home, which is priceless.We are beyond grateful for Khalil and his entire team. They have been absolute life changers for us and our dogs, and we couldn’t recommend Kingdom K9 more highly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wish I could give 6 stars! Khalil and his team were truly amazing to work with. I especially loved the philosophy of “training the trainer, not the dog”—and honestly, realizing that training the trainer can be harder than training the dog was a game changer. This approach made so much sense and was incredibly effective. I’ve noticed such a positive shift in my dog’s behavior, and most importantly, my dog respects me so much more now.The environment was clean, welcoming, and well set up for learning. I also really appreciated being able to take the dogs out on a walk around the block to practice real-world leash training. Overall, the experience was thoughtful, practical, and empowering. I can’t recommend Khalil and his team highly enough!

Best dog trainer I have ever seen! I came here to shoot content for him and I left with more information on cost benefit analysis and more knowledge about how dogs should properly act. These are things that I can instill in my dogs back at home. FREE!

Best decision I’ve made since owning my Doberman! He is intact and almost 2 years old, when we started the program he was very reactive and terrible with strangers, just a difficult dog to manage. He’s since been boarded for 1 month and done private lessons, the turn around has been remarkable and he’s really turning into a good boy! Highly recommend Khalil and his staff to anyone thinking about getting there dog trained!

We brought our five month old golden retriever to Khalil and his team at Kingdom K9 SD. We spent the first three weeks doing in person training and then three weeks of Boot Camp. We picked up our beautiful seven month old retriever to find great habits and a great start for us on our future training. We were so impressed by How well they took care of her and how important it is for continued follow up with Khalil. Kingdom K9 has impressed us and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them.

Best board and train I have visited, clean, quiet, calm and they go the extra mile with having the dogs socialize and live in open crate environments. They had a high staff to dog ratio. Couldn’t be more proud! Keep it up Kahlil. You have my full support and endorsement

This review is long overdue...We were newcomers to the SD area as of late last year. If you are looking for THE BEST dog (and human) trainers in the SD area, Kingdom K9 is it!At the time, our boy Loki was an 11 month old Malinois pup. While he did receive informal and formal training prior to moving, it seemed like it all went out the window once we moved here. New environment, new smells, new dogs. I get it.He suddenly became very reactive towards dogs and people, and it was a nightmare taking him anywhere with us, even the daily walks became difficult.Kingdom K9 was highly recommended by one of Loki's old trainers back home, so we set up the initial consultation. We were immediately impressed w/the facilty and Kahlil's methodology and knowledge as a dog trainer. You can tell off the bat how passionate Kahlil is about his talent, and he truly cares for all of his students and treats them as his own.Upon observing Loki's temperament, Kahlil recommended we enroll in his 3 week board & train package which included private as well as group training sessions. We did weekly check-ins and noticed a huge difference in his obedience after just 1 week.At the Kingdom, dog owners and their families are receiving the essential training tools and techniques to help you and your dog(s) be successful inside and outside your home. Kahlil and his amazing staff frequently go above and beyond for their clients and made us feel like family. They even cared for Loki as he was recovering from getting neutered (which Kahlil recommended to help curb his aggression) to ensure he had a proper recovery!I've also picked up Loki several times close to closing and it is not uncommon to see Kahlil himself cleaning the floors and the facility; that earned even more respect from me when I saw that.Fast forward to 2026, and we take Loki almost everywhere with us! This would not be possible without Kahlil and his amazing staff of trainers (shout out Malik & Mark). We have a long way ahead of us, and Loki is not perfect, but the training never stops...We are very grateful to have met Kahlil and the Kingdom K9 family, thankful for the bond we developed, and are looking forward to continue to train with them.God bless you Kahlil, and Kingdom K9! You deserve all the fruits of your labor!-Loki's Fam-
