I don't just teach dogs
i teach people how to understand them
a lifetime spent
learning their language
For more than 25 years, dogs have shaped every part of my life. They’ve taught me patience, leadership, and how to listen without words. What began with one Rottweiler became a lifelong pursuit to understand canine behaviour and to help others do the same.
Through decades of study, competition, and working with thousands of clients, I’ve learned that lasting change doesn’t come from fixing dogs; it comes from teaching people. When owners understand their dogs, everything changes.
the philosophy behind royal k9
Training shouldn’t feel like a battle. It should feel like understanding.
Every dog, every person, and every household is different, and that’s where the work begins. At Royal K9, the goal isn’t just to change behaviour; it’s to rebuild communication, trust, and confidence on both ends of the leash.
Angie’s approach is grounded in real-life experience and guided by one simple truth: when we change how we lead, our dogs change how they follow. The result is calm, clarity, and a relationship built on respect.
experience that speaks for itself
With more than 25 years in professional dog training and nearly 10,000 clients, Royal K9 has become one of Canada’s most trusted names in behaviour and obedience. Angie has worked with families, school boards, and organizations like Canada Post and the Crown, helping people and their dogs build calmer, more connected lives.
Her expertise comes from years in the field studying, competing, breeding, mentoring, teaching, and a deep commitment to understanding what truly works. Every success story, from a first-time puppy owner to complex behaviour cases, reflects her belief that the best training changes more than a dog’s behaviour. It changes their life together.
