Tail Wagging Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Working with Addie of Queen City K9 was one of the best decisions I made for my dog. The training was completely personalized and tailored to my dog's personality and my goals. My biggest priorities were loose leash walking and building a reliable recall, and the improvement has been amazing. Walks are so much more enjoyable now! What I appreciated most was learning skills that I can continue using every day. The training wasn't just about quick results—it gave me the tools to keep building good habits for life. I'm so grateful for the patience, support, and encouragement throughout the process. I highly recommend Addie to anyone looking for a positive tailored approach and lasting results!
Christine & Fozzy⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Addie was so incredibly helpful during the first 6-8 weeks of having our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy home. We did weekly sessions as part of the puppy package where we practiced and learned commands (which was equal parts us learning the proper way to give the command and our dog learning it!) Addie also gave us tips for safe socialization like introducing our puppy to new surfaces. Each week she gave us confidence that we were making progress with him even though we struggled at times (as all new puppy owners do). I’d highly recommend incorporating Addie’s training into anyone’s plans for bringing a new puppy home to help develop the basic foundational pieces that are key in your dog’s development.

I cannot recommend Queen City K9 enough!
My dog Maple and I have been working with Addie since February on leash reactivity toward other dogs, and the progress has been nothing short of incredible. Not only has Maple improved, but I’ve grown so much as a handler too. Addie has a way of teaching that makes everything click. She meets you where you’re at and gives you the tools and confidence to succeed.
On top of all that, her pricing is extremely reasonable. As someone who really values having a well-trained dog but doesn’t have thousands to spend on board and train programs, Addie has been the perfect fit.
If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares, knows what they’re doing, and delivers real results, Queen City K9 is it. 🐾🩵

ADDIE
Before I became a full-time trainer and detection K9 handler, I spent a decade in the corporate and banking world trading commodities and managing risk. The best part of that career? Coming home each day to my dog, Tuck.
Tuck wasn’t always perfect though - he started out as a very shy, fearful pup. Helping him overcome his fears took me all over the country to learn from world-class professionals and eventually led me into the Schutzhund sport community. Watching Tuck transform from a dog afraid of his own shadow into a confident, off-leash adventurer changed not only his life, but mine. What started with hundreds of hours of training for my own enjoyment turned into a side hustle sharing the knowledge and skill that I had learned with friends and strangers training their own dogs. Today, I spend my days training pet and working dogs, running detection K9 inspections, and constantly hunting for the next seminar to keep expanding my own education.
My goal is simple: to empower you to understand the dog right in front of you, build an incredible partnership, and unlock a bigger, more fulfilling life together.
