    It isn't hard at all, but you must first be a Security Forces member.

    Security Forces training is close to 3 months long, and consists of firearms training, field training (light infantry tactics), and law enforcement training. From there, you must complete your career development courses at your first base (which can take up to 5-6 months). After completing those, you are open to crosstrain into K9 or Combat Arms Training and Maintenance.

    Source(s): I am currently a Security Forces member who is about to apply for K9.
