Hi-Tide K9, LLC. is a women-owned and operated dog training business based in Virginia, specializing in tailored obedience training for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs. Led by owner and accredited trainer Meredith Thompson, who has been a professional dog trainer since 2009, the company offers private, group, and contracted training programs with a strong emphasis on positive, patience-based methods—especially for puppies, avoiding shock or overcorrection. They provide board-and-train services, one-on-one private lessons, and group socialization classes, with a focus on long-term results and handler follow-through. Their team includes trainers with over 30 years of collective experience in obedience, behavior modification, odor detection, agility, and working dog training. They also offer training for service, competition, and working dogs, and are known for training elite K9s for military, police, and media clients.

Meredith Thompson is an AKC Canine Good Citizen Instructor and certified odor detection handler, and her programs are customized to each dog’s breed, personality, and life stage. Clients receive tools and guidance to continue training at home, and the business emphasizes quality over quantity, with only a select few trainers representing the company. They also provide daily updates and photos during board-and-train programs and offer free phone consultations to help dog owners determine the best fit for their pet’s needs.
