Dominique
Kennel Supervisor / Dog Trainer
Dominique came to Performance K9 Training (PK9) after working for years with dogs and helping families struggling with reactivity. When she discovered PK9 and learned about David’s expertise in the dog world, particularly with reactive dogs, she found a special place working next to people with identical love and passion.
“I chose to come to PK9 because, as a dog trainer, you are always learning, so having the opportunity to work under someone like David gave me the chance to continue learning while following my passion,” Dominque said. “For myself, no other training facility’s mission matched my own the way PK9 did.”
As a kennel supervisor, Dominique makes each pup in her care feel like they are at home. Her priority is keeping every dog clean, safe, happy, and healthy.
“Every dog, regardless of their story, is shown so much love, and we strive to make each tail wag when they see our team,” she said.
As a dog trainer, Dominique focuses on each dog learning valuable skills while also enjoying their time. At the end of the training day, it’s all about teamwork.
“Specifically, when working with reactive dogs, it’s such a rewarding experience to witness an aggressive dog transform into a more confident and relaxed dog,” she said.
Dominique’s goal for each pet parent and their dog is to build a lasting relationship with everyone at PK9. When pups walk through the door, they are part of the PK9 Family.
