Her experience in powerful breeds, behavior modification and working breeds makes for a modern and progressive approach to pet training and reactivity/aggression issues. Harnessing the dog's genetic propensities...what's already natural from them.

EXPERIENCE
South City K9 CEO and Trainer Keith Salas established South City K9 wanting to apply her experience in working powerful breeds, which began by simply volunteering for a pitbull rescue organization in 2013.
She quit her hotshot corporate career to answer her calling and purpose, and that is to work full-time and very much hands on as Site Supervisor for a rescue of former fighting pitbulls. She fully immersed herself in the experience by moving and living with 90+ former fighting pitbull rescues.
​
Fast-forward to today, South City K9 trains and boards dogs in Imus, Cavite, Philippines and accepts enrollees from all over the Metro and beyond as our clients are more than happy to travel the distance for our know-how and excellent client relations.
On the rare occasion that Keith is not working with client dogs, she enjoys quiet time with her personal dogs and other pet animals.
