At Compass K9, we've built something special—a family of dog lovers committed to excellence in every aspect of K9 training and services. That same spirit of collaboration and dedication defines how we approach our business partnerships.
Our partnerships take many forms—some partners provide exclusive discounts to our community, others donate a percentage of their profits to support professional K9 handlers, and still others invest directly in programs that pair veterans with service and shelter dogs. While their contributions vary, every partner we work with shares our fundamental values: a deep love for dogs, unwavering support for those who sacrifice to protect our rights and freedoms, a commitment to serving their communities, and the belief that every dog deserves to be treated as a cherished family member, not just a pet. Together, we advocate for the dogs who serve alongside us and ensure they receive the respect, care, and protection they deserve.


We've chosen to partner exclusively with E-Collar Technologies because their commitment to humane, effective training aligns perfectly with our values. Unlike other manufacturers, E-Collar Technologies prioritizes education alongside innovation, ensuring that every product is designed with both the dog's wellbeing and training effectiveness in mind.
Their meticulous attention to product design and manufacturing has resulted in what we consider the most reliable and humane e-collar system available today. When it comes to electronic training tools, we trust only the best—which is why E-Collar Technologies is our sole e-collar provider.
