After a lot of reflection and growth, we’ve made the decision to officially close STK9 Training Company.
STK9 has been a meaningful chapter for us. The dogs we’ve trained, the handlers we’ve worked alongside, and the community that trusted us with their training will always matter to us. We are incredibly grateful for the support and friendships built over the years.
As our vision has continued to evolve, it became clear that it was time for a new name that reflects where we’re headed.
Welcome to Taylor Kennels.
Taylor Kennels will primarily focus on protection sports training, performance-based nutrition guidance for both sport and pet dogs, and therapy dog prospects. Our goal is to develop capable dogs, educated handlers, and structured systems that support long-term success — whether on the field or in everyday life.
We’re building something that brings together performance, purpose, family, and community here in Dade City — with more to come as we continue to grow.
Pasadena Pet Motel remains a cornerstone of our family and our community. Nothing is changing there — we are fully committed to continuing the same level of care and service that has supported local families for decades. We are incredibly thankful for our dedicated manager and staff, whose hard work and heart ensure the Pet Motel continues to thrive and serve our community well. This legacy is something we are deeply proud of, and it remains a strong foundation for everything we are building moving forward.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the STK9 journey. We’re excited for this next chapter and grateful to have you with us as it unfolds.
