About Us
The Thriving K-9 is committed to delivering the highest quality training practices for dogs of all breeds. Our training is designed to promote positive relationships. We prioritize the well-being and development of every dog, fostering responsible pet ownership and ethical training standards.
Thriving K9 was built on a passion for dogs, learning, and long-term partnerships between handlers and their dogs. With roots in CKC events and competition dating back to 2009, our journey has grown to include a wide range of obedience, sport, and working-dog disciplines. Over the years, we’ve continued to evolve through hands-on experience, mentorship from respected trainers across North America, and ongoing education through seminars, certifications, and advanced training opportunities.
Our approach blends game-based learning with balanced training methods, allowing us to meet each dog where they are while building clarity, confidence, and engagement. We work with dogs of all breeds and backgrounds—from family companions to performance and sport dogs—and design training plans that support both everyday life and advanced goals.
Beyond training, Thriving K9 is committed to canine health and wellness. We believe that physical well-being, mental clarity, and thoughtful conditioning are essential to a dog’s success, longevity, and enjoyment of their work. Whether through private consultations, group classes, sport training, or carefully selected wellness products, our mission is simple: to help dogs and handlers build strong relationships and truly thrive together. 🐾
