Our Story
As certified dog trainers and behavior consultants, Will has been training dogs since 2007. Will took a break in 2013 to focus on a hospitality career. When it came time for him to retire his long time service animal of 11 years, Dipstick was presented to him out of pure chance and fate. He got in touch with Jake The Dog Trainer out of North Carolina to assist with some mental blocks when training Dipstick. Together, Dipstick and Jake worked tirelessly to get Will his confidence back. Jake is still a valued part in WAK-9 Training's success. Our training allows you to remain in the convenience of your own home or at our facilities, while receiving the best available techniques to address you and your pet’s specific needs and challenges.

Senior Trainer
Jessica Klein
Jessica comes with some training background in Behavior Modification, Board n Train, and Obedience. Jessica is CPR/first aid certified for dogs and cats.
“I have wanted to work with animals since I was in elementary school. I’ve always been passionate about animals. When I got my first dog in high school I realized I was pretty good at teaching him things, and wanted to be a dog trainer. Thought it was an unrealistic career until I got my foot in the door at 22 years old. I worked as a kennel tech for 2 years and learned how much I loved training dogs. During that time I realized I wanted to learn more training styles than what I was taught in my time there. I have now completed some classes online and am excited to start my new journey of learning at WAK-9 Training.”
Daycare and Boarding Team
The WAK-9 Daycare and Boarding Team is built on sheer love for dogs. We know your dog means the world to you. We want to help you enjoy your life with your dog and know they are safe in the care of their handlers when you are away. We take every dog's welfare into consideration when determining the safest play groups, kennel style, and yard access. Our staff are trained to work with aggressive, anxious, and what many others would consider "difficult" dogs. All dogs are different, and we love them all the same!
Secretary
Mayzie Nilles
​
Over the past few years, I realized that I possess a love for dogs that I never knew existed. Dogs love unconditionally and I believe they teach us to do the same. Humans fail dogs consistently, yet dogs still offer their complete love and loyalty. My dog, Hudson, was failed by humans and eventually ended up at the shelter where we crossed paths. Will, with WAK-9 Training, is helping me with Hudson’s training. Through training Hudson, I have fallen in love with the art (although training is science-based, the act of training truly is an art). I feel very passionate about the work that Will and WAK-9 do for this community and was honored when offered a position. I was unsure what I wanted to do once completing my bachelor’s in psychology, but after working with Will, I realized that a career with dogs is where my passion lies. I feel this opportunity is a great stepping stone towards my dream career and I am eager to be a part of the WAK-9 Training team.

Let Our Clients Do The Barkin'
Pam G.
"We took Daphne (to the client walk) last week and learned a lot and was amazed at how far she has come. It is a great chance to get hands on training and advice with your dog in a controlled social setting. I never thought I would be able to take Daphne in public. Now I have hope I will be able to take her out of my house. Thank you Will O'Daniel !!"
