My Story
Reinforced Behaviors Strengthen
At CB K9, I use play and engagement to build strong obedience and lasting behaviors. By learning to pay attention to your dog, your environment, and how your dog pays attention to you, you’ll set the foundation for clear communication and success. My training approach is always evolving as I continue education across multiple dog sports and activities, so I can bring you the best tools for your needs.
I offer private lessons, small groups, online classes, and real-world training wherever you need support. With over 20 years of teaching experience, you can expect patient, clear, and compassionate coaching for both you and your dog. From impulse control and obedience to advanced sport work and fun tricks. Every dog can learn.
Looking for larger learning opportunities? I also teach seminars. Click here to see current seminar topics, with new ones being added as I travel and teach. Don’t see exactly what you need? I can customize a seminar for your group. To learn more or book, contact me directly by email.
About Me
Mighty Quinn has given me the confidence to travel across the United States, hiking, exploring and attending lots of seminars. He was my first protection sports dog, and we titled to IPO3 utilizing +R methods without the use of any corrective tools. He was that special once in a lifetime dog.
Ucon is the dog that got me into Search and Rescue. We've tried dock diving, weight pull, frisbee league, UpDog, agility, mondioring, IGP and barnhunt. What I always fell back on was his amazing nose. Instead of trying to work against it, I embraced his desire to smell all the things, and we started down the path of Search and Rescue. He started with area search live find and worked hard learning cadaver search. He's currently my hiking buddy and neutral dog.
Checkmate is my try-the-bite-sports dog. He has his entry title into IGP, mondioring and PSA using positive reinforcement as our primary training quadrant. He's given numerous people their first bite in a suit or IGP sleeve at training and various seminars because he's such a safe, clear-headed sport dog. He has had total hip replacements for both hips to give him a better quality of life, and now he's my hiking buddy and all around sport dog to try all the things.
My girl is always Rad even if sometimes she is only Rad-ish. She is my current Search and Rescue cadaver dog certified through American Rescue Dog Association (ARDA). She is a malinois x labrador oopsie pup that fell into my life at the right moment. She's up for any adventure and learns wicked fast. I'm very excited for her future in the SAR world to help bring closure for families.
Crystal Wing has taught high school art for 23 years. She has been training dogs since 2006 and traveled the nation learning and competing in various protection sports.
