We are incredibly proud and grateful to announce that Ridgeside K9 will be our Official Event Sponsor for the 2027 Hold the Line K9 Conference! 🙌🏼

Founded by Aaron Taylor, a Marine Corps Veteran and former Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office K9 Handler, Ridgeside K9 was built on a foundation of service, dedication, and working-dog excellence. Aaron served 6 years in the United States Marine Corps and 15 years with the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, where he worked in patrol before advancing into multiple specialty units including community policing, narcotics, full-time SWAT, Patrol K9, and SWAT K9.

In 2016, Aaron founded Ridgeside K9, and today the company has franchise locations across the country — all proudly owned and operated by Military Veterans and Police K9 Handlers.

We could not be more honored to have a company with such strong roots in service, professionalism, and the working K9 community standing beside us as our 2027 Event Sponsor. Thank you to Aaron and the entire Ridgeside K9 family for your support of the law enforcement and military K9 community.

Today, we pause to remember the brave men, women, and K9 heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. 🇺🇸🐾

Their courage, loyalty, and dedication will never be forgotten.
This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave everything for the freedoms we hold dear.
