Ed Wilson, CPDT-KA

K9 TrainEd was founded with a simple goal: help people build stronger relationships with their dogs through effective, humane training.

As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, I focus on positive-reinforcement techniques that help owners communicate clearly with their dogs while building confidence, reliability, and trust.

More importantly, I want you to understand how to train your dog, so your progress continues long after our training session ends.

Thanks for visiting my website! My name is Ed and if you can’t tell, I enjoy working with dogs. When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy spending my time with my wife, son, and rescue pup Bruce.

My Training Philosophy

  • Dogs thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported

  • Positive reinforcement builds confidence and trust

  • Owners deserve clear guidance and simple steps they can use at home

  • Training should be fun, rewarding, and stress‑free for everyone

Why I Started K9 TrainEd

I started this company with a goal to help families enjoy calmer walks, better communication, and a stronger bond with their dogs.

What You Can Expect

  • Patient, supportive coaching

  • Clear explanations and easy‑to‑follow steps

  • Real‑world practice in your home and neighborhood

  • A trainer who genuinely cares about your dog’s progress

Whether you’re working on puppy manners, leash skills, or reactivity, I’m here to guide you through every step of the journey.

Bruce, Head of Marketing

Bruce is not only the inspiration of the K9 TrainEd logo, but is part of my family. I often use him as a demonstration dog during training sessions, particularly with dogs that are reactive to other dogs. I rescued him in 2016 after a kind-hearted individual fostered him prior to being put down, due to his heart worm positive state. Since that time, he’s settled right into our family. He has a comical personality and knows quite a few cues and tricks (roughly 30).
