Meet Your Trainer
Before I started Franklin K9 Academy, I spent years working in education. A lot of what made me successful there naturally carried over into dog training.
I’ve always enjoyed helping people understand things in a way that feels clear, practical, and achievable. That’s a big part of how I approach training today.
A lot of owners come to me feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or unsure of what they’re doing wrong. Most of the time, they don’t need more conflicting advice. They just need someone to simplify the process and give them a clear path forward.
My goal is to help you better understand your dog, build structure that actually works, and feel confident handling real-life situations together.
Training should improve your day-to-day life, not add more stress to it.
