My Story
Hi, I'm Debbie. I spent most of my life behind a camera as a photographer, but my time volunteering at my local animal shelter changed everything. After thousands of hours working hands-on with dogs of every breed, size, temperament, and behavior, I discovered a passion that felt like a true calling. More than a decade ago, I made the decision to become a dog trainer so I could build a life and a career centered on work I genuinely love.
I earned my certification in 2015, sharpened my skills by working with other trainers, and had the privilege of supporting a nonprofit program that gave shelter dogs a second chance through a jail-based training initiative.
In 2019, I took a leap of faith and launched K9 Journey Dog Training and built a small and thriving business in Orange, California. In the end of 2025 I moved to Temecula, CA 92592 to help care for aging family. I’m excited to begin this next chapter, meeting new clients supporting local dogs, and helping families create calmer, happier homes.
Training Philosophy
There is no one-size-fits-all method here. Every dog has a different personality, different motivation, and different challenges. That is why K9 Journey Dog Training focuses on personalized dog training in Temecula that meets each dog where they are and helps owners learn how to lead with clarity and confidence.
Training is designed to support the whole relationship, not just a short list of commands. That means helping dogs with obedience, socialization, manners, behavior modification, and everyday routines that matter most at home and out in public. It also means helping owners understand what their dogs are communicating and how to respond in a way that builds trust and lasting results.
