Why Awakened K9?

At Awakened K9 we don’t just teach obedience — we awaken understanding, drive, and real connection between you and your dog.

My journey began with shelter dogs, rescuing and training them for a second chance at life. But I quickly saw a bigger problem: dogs weren’t broken — people just weren’t taught how to meet their dogs’ needs.

That’s why I’ve committed my life to bridging that gap.

I’ve trained everything from high-drive protection dogs to behavior cases others turn away. No matter the challenge — aggression, frustration, anxiety, lack of focus — I bring deep experience, a tailored approach, and a passion for unlocking each dog’s potential.

My mission is simple: help you create the best possible life with your dog through clarity, motivation, and purpose-built training. Every program is designed to elevate your dog’s behavior and your bond — so that your dog listens, learns, and loves to be by your side.
