About Wilder K9

If you've been trying to figure your dog out and nothing has quite clicked yet, you're in the right place. 

Most people who reach out aren't lazy or doing things wrong. 

They care a lot. They've tried things. They just haven't been given something that fits their dog or them. 

That's where I come in. 

I create space for dogs to learn in a way that makes sense to them, and for you to build confidence without judgment. 

We work with the dog you have. 

And we build something that works for both of you. 

I work with you and your dog as a team. That means I'm not just looking at behavior. I'm looking at your dog's needs, what you're capable of, and how those two things fit together in real life. 

I care about how your dog shows up day to day. At home. On walks. Around people. In situations that feel stressful or unpredictable. 

That's where this matters. 

Once you understand and trust your dog, everything starts to feel less overwhelming.

I take a balanced, intentional approach that focuses on your relationship with your dog. 

I take the messy parts, the frustrating moments, and the things you feel like you've gotten wrong, and help you move forward with a dog that you feel connected to. 

I'll be honest with you. If something isn't working, I'll tell you. If something needs to change, we'll talk through it. If your dog needs something different than what you expected, we adjust. 

Training is not about control or compliance. It's about clarity, communication, and helping you feel confident in what you're doing while supporting your dog in the process. 

I work with dogs from all walks of life. 

Dogs who are anxious, reactive, or all over the place. 

Dogs who are "fine" but exhausting to live with. 

Puppies, new dogs, and dogs going through big life changes. 

My own dogs are the reason I built Wilder K9 and train the way I do. 

They are completely different from each other, and they forced me to stop trying to follow a formula and start paying attention to, and understanding, what was right in front of me. 

You're encouraged to ask questions, to speak up if something doesn't feel right, and to take your time as you learn. 

Training should feel like something you're part of, something that lasts long after our sessions are over. 

If this feels like what you've been looking for, you're in the right place. I can't wait to work with you!

For the dog owners who feel like they're failing, but aren't. 

For dogs who don't fall neatly into categories.
