At K9 Professional, we believe that every dog has the potential to be calm, confident, and happy — and every owner deserves the tools to build a strong, lasting bond. But our story isn’t just about training dogs; it’s about the journey, expertise, and heart behind it.
Our founder, Andrea, began her dog training career in Europe at a young age. Immersed in the world of professional dog sports and obedience, she trained under some of the most accomplished German Master K9 trainers, mastering authentic European methods of dog training. These techniques are highly disciplined, structured, and proven to produce well-behaved, confident dogs. Andrea’s dedication and skill quickly became apparent as she trained hundreds of dogs.
But Andrea’s approach isn’t only about technique — it’s about understanding why dogs behave the way they do and applying that knowledge to create meaningful, lasting change. With a baccalaureate in Psychology and an MBA, Andrea combines the science of human and animal behavior to design training programs that are effective, personalized, and long-lasting.
This is where Andrea’s unique expertise shines: she teaches you the neuroscience of the K9 brain and shows you how to communicate with your dog in a way that truly connects. Because of her deep understanding of how the human brain works, she bridges the gap — stopping you from simply talking at your dog, and starting you on the path to speaking dog. In short, Andrea teaches humans to speak dog.
At K9 Professional, we know that dog behavior reflects the relationship between the dog and its owner. That’s why our programs focus on more than just commands — we focus on communication, trust, and mutual understanding.
Teaching Humans to Speak Dog — it’s time to stop just talking to your dog and start truly communicating with them. Andrea believes success is a team sport. That’s why she takes on only a limited number of clients at a time, ensuring each dog and owner receives the focused time and attention needed to achieve lasting results.
Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an energetic adolescent, or an adult with behavior challenges, Andrea customizes training programs to meet your dog’s specific needs and your goals. She believes that a trained dog is a happy dog, but an educated owner is just as important. When owners understand their dogs and how to motivate them, the bond becomes stronger, communication becomes clearer, and training results last longer.
At K9 Professional, we don’t just hit training goals — we make your dreams for your dog a reality. This philosophy guides everything we do, from in-home obedience sessions to behavior modification programs and virtual training consultations.
Andrea’s training credentials are both extensive and unique:
Over 20 years of hands-on dog training experience in Europe and the United States
Trained hundreds of dogs across obedience, protection, tracking, behavior modification, puppy training, basic obedience, advanced sport training, Therapy dog training, Mommy & Pup programs, and Best Friend bonding sessions
Degrees in Psychology and Business, giving her a holistic understanding of both dogs and their owners
Andrea specializes in teaching the neuroscience of the K9 brain, bridging the way humans and dogs think and learn. By combining her deep knowledge of human psychology with canine behavior, she creates training programs that teach owners how to truly communicate with their dogs — enhancing trust, leadership, and connection.
Andrea’s experience spans all breeds and sizes, from tiny toy dogs to large working breeds. No dog is too challenging, and no goal is too ambitious. Whether your dog needs gentle guidance, confidence-building, or correction for unwanted behaviors, Andrea has the tools, knowledge, and patience to get results.
Andrea only takes on a limited number of dogs at a time to ensure each dog receives the attention and dedication needed to achieve lasting results. Training isn’t measured by hours — your dog graduates when ready.
At K9 Professional, we pour our hearts into every dog and owner we work with. Our clients’ reviews read like love letters because we treat every training journey as a family experience. When you train with us, you join an elite group — the K9 Professional Family — where love and dedication create lifelong bonds
Our training is rooted in authentic German methods, blended with a small dose of competition obedience. This creates a well-balanced dog who listens with precision and clarity. You and your dog will stand out as shining examples of excellent K9 citizenship, embodying both discipline and grace.
Andrea teaches dogs how to use their brains to their fullest potential, helping them self-actualize. This approach motivates your dog and builds their confidence, making them eager and excited learners. You become the leader of the pack because you’ve taught your dog how to be the best they can be.
After learning to speak dog, you won’t just be a dog owner — you will become a skilled dog handler. Our training empowers you with the knowledge and tools to lead with confidence and compassion, creating harmony that lasts a lifetime.
Andrea only works with a limited number of dogs at a time to ensure each client receives the focus and care they deserve.
Sessions aren’t timed. Training continues until your dog achieves their goals, no matter how long it takes.
