Ed

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.

Helping dogs and their humans build better relationships

Hi, my name is Ed and I’m the trainer behind K9 TrainEd. My mission is simple: to help dogs feel confident, understood, and capable — and to help their humans feel supported every step of the way. Training isn’t just about commands; it’s also about communication and trust.

With a background in positive‑reinforcement, relationship‑based training, I focus on teaching dogs why we want certain behaviors, not just what to do. This approach creates lasting results, happier dogs, and more confident owners.

I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities — from energetic puppies learning the basics to reactive dogs who need patience, structure, and a fresh start. Every dog has a story, and every training plan is customized to fit their unique needs.

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.
