K9 Academy

K9 Academy was founded in August of 2023. The company was created by Kaeli and Alex Van Hoosen when they took Kaeli's dream of helping dogs and their pawrents build strong bonds based on trust and loyalty, and made it a reality! Kaeli is the lead Dog Trainer and Canine Behavior Specialist, while her husband Alex works behind the scenes! Together, they launched this business with a single goal - to utilize positive reinforcement and reward based training techniques to "Make Sit Happen"!

"This was so helpful to do with our new pup, Brisket. We were very interested in learning ways to keep our dog safe and he learned some fun tricks too! We definitely learned so much and would recommend this class to anyone. The trainer, Kaeli, did an excellent job. She is very knowledgeable and our dog loved her. We enjoyed doing this class with a group of others and the dogs loved to see each other every week! Thank you!  Brisket & his humans!"

"I highly recommend training classes here with your furbaby. Kaeli, the trainer is amazing. I adopted my furbaby, Rebbie, from the Humane Society. He was hyper and  reactive and needed socialization. SInce doing classes I have a totally different dog.  Rebbie and I had alot of fun in the classes and enjoyed learning.We also created a stronger bond between us. Thank you Kaeli, for all you've done to help us!"

"I just want to start off by saying Kaeli is amazing ! Not many trainers in the area are willing to train reactive dogs especially German shepherds. My GSD has always been a reactive dog & we took a 9 week training program with Kaeli. Let me tell you that she provided so much information about reactive dogs & she helped Athena my GSD gain confidence & start to let her guard down! Kaeli is the best, she was so confident in her work & was not scared of a challenge! Athena was always barking at people & backing away from strangers & she has improved so much since we started training with Kaeli ! 10/10 recommend"

"We’ve had our Maggie in obedience training with Kaeli there. She’s great with our pup very thorough with her training and is very nice with Maggie. Maggie gets very excited when ever we get to the front door. She was very vocal when she ran up to Kaeli. Maggie and us are really happy with her training and she always asks us if we have any questions. Great trainer would recommend her to everyone."

"Very much recommend dog training with Kaeli! I had recently rescued a German shepherd and wanted to make sure I was training her effectively right off the bat. Kaeli took the time to get to know my dog and I which made it such a personalized, positive experience where my dog and I could really be successful together. Now, I still use concepts she taught me to train other things. It’s so fun to stop in and see her for visits every now and again!"
