Our Story

Our team of Master Trainers began training together as a combined effort to help other people learn to train their dogs.  We wholeheartedly believe that a well-trained dog is a loved dog.

The first two dogs that brought our group into existence, one for search and rescue and the other as a wheat/gluten detection Medical Assistance Dog, were two of a kind!  Max was training to be a search & rescue dog and Levi started out as a herding dog.  As time went on, Levi turned out to be the very first gluten detection service dog.  He saves his handler's life on a daily basis by detecting the presence of wheat gluten in food, a substance his handler is highly allergic to.  Max became certified in search and rescue and would become the area's first Pet Finder dog.  Max has assisted in several search and rescue efforts in our local area to find missing kids and adults. And if your dog got lost, Max would do his doggone best to find your dog.

As trainings commenced from 2017, our group of trainers worked with the dogs as more of a hobby than anything and began helping other people with their dogs.  As time went on, more and more people requested for their dogs to be trained.  So, what started as a group of people training dogs together, became a widely-recognized team of trainers in the local area, and then COVID-19 hit with all the shut-downs and restrictions! New Mexico was shut down and even upon approval of re-gathering for activities, we were met with great challenges to remain active and avoid possible exposures.

Allegiance K-9 was born after COVID changed the entire landscape of boarding and training.  Our desire at Allegiance K-9 is to continue helping people who are community minded, and desire to have a trained therapy dog for visits into the surrounding businesses and communities.  Our brand new boarding and training (Doggie FunPlex) facility is under construction but we will continue to have special training events, specialized trainings, daycare, grooming, and therapy dog training.... and the best is yet to come! Stay tuned as we continue to add services, locations and facilities to cover all your dog training needs.
