Hi, Iām Kari!
If youāre here, youāre probably looking for a better relationship with your dogāand Iād 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, Iāve worked with everything from puppies to dogs labeled as aggressive, reactive, or anxious. And through it all, Iāve learned this: training is never just about obedience. Itās about connection. Itās about communication. Itās about the kind of trust that transforms behavior and deepens your bondāon leash and in life.
Whether youāre 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, Iāve 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 Iāve continued my education through workshops, certifications, and hands-on experience. Iām a certified Pet Food Nutrition Specialist, AKC CGC, S.T.A.R. Puppy, Trick Dog, and Temperament Test evaluatorāand I bring all of that knowledge into the work I do with my clients.
Outside of work, youāll 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 crewāCrosby, Faith, and Tillyālove keeping their noses busy with scent work.
If you're ready to take the next step in training, Iād love to meet you and your dog!
