About
Kristen's K9s
Welcome to Kristen's K9s, where we believe every dog is an individual and deserves a training approach tailored to their unique needs, temperament, and lifestyle. Whether you're raising a playful puppy, navigating the adolescent stage, welcoming an adult dog into your family, or helping a senior dog learn new skills, we work with dogs of all ages, breeds, and mixes.
Our approach is rooted in proactive, open-minded dog ownership, focusing on education, consistency, clear communication, and creating realistic expectations for both dogs and their owners. We believe effective training is about more than teaching commands—it’s about helping you understand your dog's behavior, learning how to communicate clearly, and building skills that translate into everyday life.
Most importantly, we want training to strengthen the relationship between you and your dog. Our goal is to give you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to continue supporting your dog long after your time with us ends.

Kristen is awesome. I've worked with other trainers but none more knowledgeable. Highly recommend and she will continue to be a part of our dogs lives.

Kristen is an excellent and experienced trainer. She was very knowledgeable and patient with our resource guarding puppy. I liked that she came to my home and worked with my schedule. My dog was always happy to see her.

Kristen helped our wild Sadie so much, taught us how to respond to her triggers. I will always one hundred percent recommend Kristen. It shows how much she loves and respects animals. Sadie came home a better dog and we became better owners.
