Sound K9 Concepts is a dog training business led by Angie Falcsik, a certified professional with over 20 years of experience helping dog owners build well-behaved, physically fit, and mentally balanced dogs. The business specializes in three core areas: K9 Fitness, K9 Nose Work®, and behavior modification training. Angie uses a balanced, individualized approach that combines positive reinforcement with practical techniques tailored to each dog’s breed, energy level, and unique needs. Her programs are available virtually across the USA and in-person in the Puget Sound area, making her services accessible to a wide range of clients. She emphasizes the connection between physical conditioning and behavior, helping dogs of all ages—from puppies to seniors—improve focus, reduce reactivity, and enjoy longer, healthier lives. Clients benefit from lifetime access to training videos, personalized feedback via video, and ongoing support even after program completion.

Angie’s expertise in K9 Fitness helps prevent injuries and enhances performance for both sport and companion dogs, while her K9 Nose Work® programs tap into a dog’s natural scenting abilities to build confidence and mental stimulation. Her behavior training addresses common issues like leash pulling, jumping, barking, separation anxiety, and reactivity, with programs designed to help dogs listen reliably at home and in public. Her virtual coaching model allows owners to train from home with expert guidance, making it ideal for busy families or those without local access to trainers.

Success stories highlight her ability to transform anxious, overexcited, or poorly socialized dogs into calm, responsive companions. She works with all dog types, including high-energy breeds like Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, and Siberian Huskies, and provides specialized support for rescue dogs and puppies. Angie’s passion for holistic dog wellbeing extends beyond obedience, integrating nutrition, fitness assessments, and emotional balance into every training plan.
