Gen1 K9 LLC is a dog training business founded by Lorena, a dedicated trainer with over a decade of experience in animal rescue, fostering, and training. She specializes in helping families build strong, harmonious bonds with their dogs through practical, real-life training in home settings. Lorena is supported by assistant trainer Denise, and together they offer in-home training, day training, and board-and-train programs tailored to each dog’s needs. Their approach emphasizes balanced training techniques, combining positive reinforcement with mild corrections when necessary, and focuses on behavior modification for issues like leash reactivity, separation anxiety, and recall. They provide GPS tracking during training, daily owner lessons, and lifetime support after program completion. Gen1 K9 also offers an online Puppygarten ebook and financing options for their services.

They serve clients in Oak Harbor and Anacortes, Washington, and conduct all training assessments in the client’s home to ensure personalized, context-specific results. Their programs are designed for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs of all sizes, with a strong focus on family pets and behavior correction rather than competition or service work.

Additional services include virtual training, optional follow-up lessons, and discounts for military, LEO, and first responders. All training is insured through PetCare, and clients receive ongoing support even after program completion.

Accomplishments

Lorena has rescued, fostered, and placed hundreds of dogs and cats over the past decade. She developed her training expertise through hands-on experience with foster dogs and her own animals, leading to the founding of Gen1 K9. Clients consistently report transformative results in behavior, safety, and family harmony.

How to Get Started!

All new clients begin with a required in-home Program Placement Assessment ($95), during which Lorena evaluates the dog’s behavior, environment, and needs to recommend the best training program. After the assessment, clients can book their chosen program or private lessons.
