Texoma K-9 Training Center LLC About Us Page

THE TEXOMA K-9 TRAINING CENTER L.L.C. is located in the heart
of the Wichita Mountains of Southwest Oklahoma. Cache,
Oklahoma. A 10 minute drive from Lawton, OK. This region of
Southwestern Oklahoma and North Texas is commonly known as
Texoma and that is where we took our name.

Texoma K-9 did not start as a business, but rather a group of
friends and trainers that came together to train their police and
sport dogs. Both the old guys and the young pups still come
together a few times a week to train dogs. Police canine trainers
and handlers, protection dog owners, sport trainers and handlers,
decoys, and yet more friends who want to train their dogs.

Licensed through the Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (OBNDD)
and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

We have certified police instructors by the Oklahoma Council on
Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET).

Our Police K-9 Instructors are prior or full time dual-purpose K-9
handlers themselves and understand what it means to have a dog
out there working and the high level of training the k-9 needs to
perform.
