Welcome to Fireteam K9 Dog Training
This is where dog training meets personal growth — for both ends of the leash.
I'm Karl, a certified dog trainer, life coach, nurse, and Canadian Army veteran. I created this publication for dog owners who want more than just obedience — they want understanding, partnership, and purpose in their journey with their dogs.
Here, I share a blend of:
🎯 Practical dog training advice rooted in hands-on experience & behaviour science
🧠 Canine psychology insights that deepen your connection
💬 Coaching reflections on working with dogs and the people who love them
🤝 A supportive coaching community where dog owners grow in skill and confidence together
Whether you're raising a puppy, navigating reactivity, or training a working dog, this space is designed to support you — emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
