Relationship Reinforced Training! K9 Tracking & Nose work is our passion! Whether in sport or dog training, perseverance is key.

Our Mission; Dedicated to fostering a deep and lasting bond between handler and dog by offering clear, consistent, and fair leadership, rooted in positive reinforcement learning. Owner /Trainer / K9 Handler at Little Mountain K9; At LMK9 we believe in Relationship Reinforced Training!

🐾 Our Mission: We are dedicated to fostering a deep and lasting bond between humans and dogs through clear, consistent, and fair leadership rooted in positive reinforcement learning.

✨ Our Approach by combining responsible leadership techniques with an understanding of each dog’s unique communication style, we create a fun, rewarding environment where trust and respect flourish. Our teaching methods empower you to build a positive relationship with your canine companion — one based on play, cooperation, respect, clear communication and mutual understanding. As a former endurance triathlete, I understand that a solid, consistent training plan is the foundation of achievement. I live by the philosophy: "Don't stop when you're tired, stop when you're done." Our Dogs deserve the effort from us, to put the needed work in to help them thrive. My training background spans:

Dog Behavior & Rehabilitation

AKC Tracking with a focus on Foot Step Tracking

Scent Detection

Article Indication & Alert Response

Search & Rescue (SAR) Trailing/Tracking

Obedience & Behavioral Development

AKC CGC, STAR Puppy, Trick Dog Evaluation

With a deep dedication to canine education and strengthening the human-dog bond, we strive to create training programs that empower dogs and their handlers to reach their highest potential.
