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, however I have always had a passion for dogs in general. I raised 2 dogs from that organization 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 and passion for dog training into a full time job.

I now have a 2 year old doberman (pictured) & a puppy coming later this year.

My dog training methods focus on teaching clients how to effectively communicate with their dog while prioritizing the relationship between dog & guardian. My approach utilizes primarily positive reinforcement, which is largely backed by science as an effective and appropriate method of learning
