MEET MADELYN
Hi, I'm Madelyn, founder of K9 805.
For more than six years, I've dedicated my career to helping dogs and their owners build stronger, more rewarding relationships. Whether I'm working with an energetic puppy, a family companion, or a dog with complex behavioral challenges, my goal is always the same: create confident, reliable dogs that thrive at home.
EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST
My background includes hands-on experience in:
Professional dog training and behavior
Conformation show handling
Competitive canine sports, including AKC, WDA, NACSW, PSA, IGP, and AS
AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator certification
Extensive work with shelter and rescue dogs
Working with dogs across so many disciplines has given me the knowledge and experience to tailor every training plan to the individual dog—not a one-size-fits-all program.
WHY I DO WHAT I DO
My work with shelter dogs inspired the creation of K9 805. Too many wonderful dogs lose their homes because of behavior challenges that can be prevented or successfully addressed with the right training.
That's why I'm especially passionate about helping puppies during their critical first year and supporting owners through behavior challenges before they become lifelong problems.
Thank you for trusting me with your dog. I look forward to helping you build a confident, well-mannered companion and a relationship that lasts a lifetime.
THE TRANSFORMATION STARTS HERE
Your dog needs you to take the first step. Don't settle for less than you both deserve! A lifetime of fulfillment, companionship and adventures together starts with one simple step.
