I started United K9 out of love for dogs and the desire to help others enhance the bond they share with their pets. Just like with our human relationships, a human-dog relationship can be a source of incredible joy for both. My goal is to help owners have a best friend they can go through life with, stemmed in mutual respect and the correct type of love.
It all started while I was studying Psychology, I dreamed of ways I could incorporate my two passions: therapy work and animals. Then I got Vito, a severely fear-aggressive puppy. While searching for the right trainer to help address this, I consumed over 1200+ hours of training content and trialed out a number of approaches. This challenge solidified my love and path for training, and led me to my second dog, Koda. Thanks to her, I got really involved in the dog community where I worked along-side other professionals. This led me to my own dog-tailored training style and United K9 was born.
