About
USK9 group is an organization that began as one of the TOP PERSONAL PROTECTION training clubs in the SE region. With the fundamental philosophy that protection trained dogs should be held to a higher level of challenges and training as compared to some sport based programs. The definition of ‘protect’ is to “defend or guard from attack, invasion, loss, annoyance, insult, etc.; cover or shield from injury or danger”. In definition your dog must be able to stand ground against MANY threats with the ability to assure you the BEST chance to survive a desperate situation.
We have taken the same philosophy of training protection dogs and applied to areas of obedience trials, agility AND SPORT based training allowing us to become a powerhouse organization in ALL faucets of training not just in protection. With chapters in Georgia, South Carolina and Ohio we are seeing positive growth with a POSITIVE foundation.
We are not only training, we have recognized the needs of our communities in support of their 4 legged companions and started our annual “Feed the Need’ program, brainchild of our VP Patrick Saunders. This program reaches out to senior pet owners that are struggling to support not only their everyday financial responsibilities, but also the care and concern of their pets. USk9 group not only collects pet food, toys, beds and misc pet clothing items to help our seniors we also assist to cover the PET DEPOSITS housing charges in order to allow the pet to remain with it’s owner. To many seniors these animals represent one of the most important companions they have.
