About Aligned K9
When I started Aligned K9, it wasn’t because I wanted to build another training business. It was, quite simply, because I loved it.
​
I still remember the first time I got completely lost in the moment working with one of my early board and trains. She was engaged, responding beautifully, and we were both having fun—almost like a dance. That was the first time I experienced what I now know as a true flow state in dog training.
​
The dogs responded to that energy immediately.
​
Since then, I’ve learned to merge the science of behavior with a more intuitive, individualized approach for every dog and human I work with.
​
I focus on communication, engagement, reinforcement, and clear boundaries—but most of all, I pay attention to energy and how it shapes everything in the relationship between dog and handler.
