Little Miss K9

Little Miss K9 Owner Tricia LiAna is a positive reinforcement dog trainer, and is an ATT judge and AKC evaluator She is now a recognized AKC evaluator.

​Owner Tricia LiAna’s love for dogs and training started at a young age. She grew up in a family that owned and ran a professional kennel training hunting and sporting dogs. She had also been working with rescue dogs before coming to Elite K9. Her passion for rescues led her to adopt an abandoned Catahoula Whippet mix who is DeafBlind. Her connection to the DeafBlind community, and fluency in ASL

made her a good fit to provide clear and constant communication with this special pup. With the guidance of Elite K9, she trained her Norsayan Mastiff as a mobility and medical alert SD, through the Canine Kinship program. Hanna Myers, then mentored her to become a partner trainer under her well known and respected company, Elite K9. Tricia trains in positive reinforcement methods and strives to learn the least abrasive and science based ways to engage with dogs.

Mondays are for adventures 🌊🌲🥾🌤️🐕🐾🐚🪸
Drive out to Olympic National Park and visited the Tree of Life before it washes away. Then hiked a couple miles down the beach stopping to check out little waterfalls along the way, rocks, shells, drift wood etc. until we came upon large rocks 🪨 and tide pools to explore 🥰 then made our way back down the beach to the car. Had the coast to ourselves most of the morning, which made the early alarm well worth it !

Business hours update !
Tues-Fri 9am-8pm
Sat 9am-5pm
Sun & Mon closed

As always feel free to reach out and message me anytime. I do lots of my administrative and behind the scenes work at off times. The small business owner work life balance is an unpredictable juggle 😅 That said, we have hit the time of year when my days off are often spent hiking in remote areas without cell service 🥾 So I may take longer to respond than usual, especially outside of business on hours.

Mr Rand Park cuteness for attention
