THE JOURNEY

"Since childhood, my fascination with animals, particularly dogs and their roles as companions or working K9s, has shaped my journey. Years of owning and training my dogs fueled my passion while leading me into the world of Dog/K9 training and psychology. Opting for the best, I enrolled in a “Dog/K9 trainers” course at Olympus K9 in Orangeville, Ontario, guided by instructor/K9 trainer Pando Stepanis. As his student, I even had the privilege of taking his K9 Law Enforcement course at George Brown College. This experience opened my eyes to our limited understanding of dogs and how they perceive the world. Realizing the importance of educating both dogs and humans, I founded 'The K9 Collegiate.' I envisioned an institute for Canine higher learning, believing that if we consider them 'man’s best friend,' we owe it to them to truly comprehend their outlook, psyche, needs, and desires. Let's be the informed humans these remarkable animals deserve."
