About Us

How do we do that?

Our mission is to create a partnership between dogs and owners

We believe that with the right tools, knowledge, and guidance, every dog-owner relationship can thrive.

How Did We Come About?

Our Story

We are proudly based in the Bay Area, where we help owners achieve their goals with their dogs—no matter the size, temperament, or breed. We understand that one size doesn’t fit all, and that’s why we approach every dog with a personalized touch.

Barak, the founder of BAlbertK9, has been passionate about dogs since childhood. His early exposure to training began with his father, who trained family pets and duck dogs. This sparked a lifelong fascination, which Barak pursued by moving to Los Angeles after school to learn from renowned trainers like Joseph Cinnante. During this time, he also discovered the world of protection dogs and the Protection Sports Association (PSA).

After gaining invaluable experience in Los Angeles, Barak returned to the Bay Area, where he now trains both pet and protection dogs. His dedication to learning continues as he works with mentors such as Ryan Dabstab and Jennifer Bazan, honing his skills every week with his own dog.

At BAlbertK9, we’re not just trainers—we’re lifelong learners, dedicated to helping you and your dog succeed together.
