Southern Warrior K9 is a professional dog training business based in Norman, Oklahoma, led by Brad Hardin, who has over 20 years of experience in dog training, obedience, and competitive dog sports. They offer personalized training programs designed to help dog owners build clear, conflict-free communication with their pets using a Reward-Based System with a Balanced Approach. Services include private lessons, in-home training, and board-and-train programs for puppies and adult dogs, addressing everything from basic manners to advanced skills like protection training, service dog preparation, and competition obedience. They focus on long-term results by teaching owners how to train their dogs effectively, with an emphasis on reading canine body language and managing distractions. Their training is tailored to individual needs, whether the dog has leash reactivity, separation anxiety, aggression, or simply needs foundational obedience.

They serve clients in the greater Oklahoma City area and pride themselves on small dog-to-trainer ratios, ensuring individualized attention. Their methods are backed by real-world success, including national and world championship-level results in dog sports, and they guarantee consistent outcomes for clients who follow their guidance.

Additional services include specialized training for working dogs, personal protection, and behavior modification for issues like biting, barking, jumping, and stealing food. They do not offer grooming, boarding, or pet sitting as standalone services, but do provide board-and-train as part of their training programs.
