At 9 Pack® K9, we pride ourselves on leading a lifestyle through energy much like our canine companions. My inspiration comes from my passion for the canine species. The complex relationship each dog brings, allows me to be forever learning as well as helping others. This journey began for me when I was only 7 years old, I was destined to have a dog. Door by door I went until someone was kind enough to give me a miniature Doberman puppy. My resilience, persistence, and innate relationship with the canine species brought me to where I am today. Some would say I have a “natural way” with dogs which has allowed me to venture into not only making professional dog training a career but a way of life for my family and me, Through side-by-side mentorship with some of the world’s most renowned trainers, behaviorists, and dog sports champions in the South Florida area such as Frankie Cowen and Alison Chambers. I have been able to receive a superior education and certification in a career I am truly passionate about. Through years of guidance and intensive professional development, and volunteering my skills with local shelters I have committed myself to providing the most effective and balanced dog training in all of South Florida to every one of my clients. To maintain the highest level of education, I participate in several seminars a year, taking part in all the levels of advancement as a dog behaviorist and trainer. I also train, participate, and decoy in various dog sports such as personal protection and French Ring! I am also proud to represent West Palm Dog Sports Club as the Head Training Director where I am consistently advancing my skills and our teammates with an array of different breeds, temperaments, and situations to be able to provide the most efficient dog training skills to my community. West Palm Dog Sports Club is one of the most elite dog sports club with an immense amount of champions, top decoys, titled dogs, and professional trainers in the USA. From elite high caliber dog breeds to your small fluffy best friends we train them all. I am also an active member of the International Association of Canine Professionals! I believe our philosophies at 9 Pack®K9 set us apart from the rest. We pride ourselves on honor, love, and respect, there is much to be learned from our canine counterparts and I believe our energy steers the way!
