About Elite K9 Training
*A Special Message from Hailey, Your Passionate Dog Trainer** Hello there! I’m Hailey, and my heart has always belonged to animals. Growing up surrounded by dogs of every shape and size, I cherished each moment, whether it was a simple stroll or a play session in the yard. My journey took a beautiful turn when I adopted Luna, a spirited 4-year-old Pitbull and American Staffordshire terrier mix, from a local rescue. From the moment she joined my family at just four months old, she proved to be an extraordinary companion. Training her in basic obedience revealed her remarkable intuition, sparking my desire to prepare her for service work. By the time she turned one, Luna was not just my pup; she was my partner in training, always eager for new challenges and adventures. Today, she proudly serves as my demo dog, a beloved presence for many of our clients. Not long after, my family expanded with the addition of a Great Pyrenees puppy and a Belgian Malinois-pitbull mix named Winchester. Winchester came to us with some challenges, displaying fear aggression towards people and other dogs. This experience ignited my passion to dive deeper into dog behavior, leading me to pursue certification as a trainer and behavior consultant. My mission? To empower pet parents facing similar challenges—be it aggression, reactivity, resource guarding, or even basic obedience. It breaks my heart to see so many dogs surrendered or euthanized due to behavioral issues, and I’m determined to change that narrative. Throughout my training journey, I’ve worked with an incredible variety of breeds—from Belgian Malinois and Bull Mastiffs to French Bulldogs and Dachshunds. Each dog has taught me something unique, and I take great pride in collaborating with local rescues to help dogs find their forever homes. Every day is an opportunity for growth, learning, and connection, and I can’t wait to work with more dogs and their devoted families. Together, let’s create a brighter future for our furry friends!
