K-9 Connection

K-9 Connection is a community-driven dog training organization dedicated to helping dog owners build strong, respectful bonds with their pets through positive, education-based training. They offer guidance, resources, and support to keep dogs with their families by promoting canine communication and benevolent leadership. Their mission includes educating families, volunteers, and professionals in positive motivational training methods and responsible rescue and rehoming practices. They also host community events, such as social gatherings and fundraisers, to foster connection among dog lovers.

K-9 Connection operates in collaboration with Lead The Way Training, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which suggests a focus on educational outreach and community service rather than commercial training services. While they promote training and education, no direct dog training sessions, classes, or service offerings are explicitly described on their website.

The organization is led by an executive board including Amy McCaa, Heather Nicholas, Kari Rolph, Michael McKinstry, and Greg Stevens, but no individual trainer is named as the primary service provider. Their activities center on community building, awareness, and advocacy rather than direct training delivery.
