Hi! My name is Grace, I am the owner and trainer at CK9. My love for dog training began in college when I volunteered as a puppy raiser for a service dog organization. I have raised 2 dogs and both have become amazing service dogs for their recipients.

I spent 5 years working in veterinary medicine before switching gears to turn my hobby of dog training into a full time job. In November of 2024, I completed the Karen Pryor Academy “Dog Trainer Professional” course earning my KPA-CTP.

I now have a 1 year old Doberman (pictured) who I have trained as my own service dog.

I strictly use science based methods that do not require aversive tools or corrections I focus on teaching clients how to effectively communicate with their dog while prioritizing the relationship between dog & guardian.
