Hi, I’m Kari!

If you’re here, you’re probably looking for a better relationship with your dog—and I’d be honored to help you build it.

My journey into dog training started back in 2014, when I adopted my dog Crosby from a local rescue. That one decision turned into fostering over 50 dogs in a single year and discovering something life-changing: not only did I have a deep understanding of dog behavior, but I also had a gift for helping tough cases succeed.

Over the years, I’ve worked with everything from puppies to dogs labeled as aggressive, reactive, or anxious. And through it all, I’ve learned this: training is never just about obedience. It’s about connection. It’s about communication. It’s about the kind of trust that transforms behavior and deepens your bond—on leash and in life.

Whether you’re dealing with everyday challenges or serious behavior issues, my goal is to support you with clear guidance, practical tools, and a whole-body approach that meets both you and your dog where you are.

Since those early days, I’ve built a thriving training and socialization facility here in Parker and connected with clients across Colorado. I stay active in the professional training world as a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals, and I’ve continued my education through workshops, certifications, and hands-on experience. I’m a certified Pet Food Nutrition Specialist, AKC CGC, S.T.A.R. Puppy, Trick Dog, and Temperament Test evaluator—and I bring all of that knowledge into the work I do with my clients.

Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors with my pack, supporting small local businesses, or competing in Conformation, Obedience, and Rally with my Alaskan Malamutes, Eden and Bachelor, and my Great Dane, Karma. My rescue crew—Crosby, Faith, and Tilly—love keeping their noses busy with scent work.

If you're ready to take the next step in training, I’d love to meet you and your dog!
