About In Touch K9
About In Touch K9
In Touch K9 is a private dog training practice serving Lompoc and nearby Central Coast communities. We specialize in two outcomes: targeting the root of behavior problems (reactivity, fear, aggression, phobias) and real-world obedience that transfers to busy environments and public settings (leash manners, impulse control, off-leash training). If you've been given "management-only" advice, generic obedience drills that didn't transfer, or you simply want to see how far your dog can go, you're in the right place.

About the Trainer
About the Trainer
I train the dogs that make life feel small: The reactive dog you can't walk, the high-intensity dog that can't settle, the dog you love but won't listen. I also build real-world obedience including off-leash reliability, so your dog can enjoy the most important part of life: freedom that's earned.
This work started with my own dog. After multiple off-leash dog attacks, he became intensely reactive. I tried conventional training routes and got the same results many owners get: mixed advice, temporary fixes, and no real plan for living in the world. Like most dogs labeled "problem dogs," he wasn't bad: he was misunderstood, unheard, and rehearsing patterns that worked for him in the moment. So I committed to learning what actually changes behavior: not just managing symptoms, but changing what drives them.
We first went on to pass the AKC Canine Good Citizen test - something plenty of people told me wasn't possible. That wasn't the end. It was proof of principle: most dogs aren't broken. They're unheard by systems that don't understand them. That was the moment I stopped accepting limits...and we've been shattering glass ceilings ever since.
Since then, I've trained under various mentors, studied and worked through a wide range of cases, and built a practice around one goal: real results for the dogs that were overlooked. And the same dog that started everything went on to help the dogs that were also misunderstood.
