Welcome to HutterK9!

Confidence Built From Within.

I believe dogs are capable of far more than we often give them credit for.

At Hutter K9, training goes beyond obedience. We build capable, resilient dogs who learn to think, problem-solve, work through challenges, and navigate the real world with confidence.

Just as importantly, we empower owners to better understand the dog in front of them and confidently continue the work at home.

Hutter K9 was born out of rescue and a desire to help keep dogs out of shelters in the first place. That mission remains at the heart of everything I do.

Training That Builds the Dog

NePoPo® is the heart and soul of how I train.

Rather than creating dogs who rely on constant direction, I want dogs to discover that they can think, problem-solve, work through pressure, and find the answer.

Training is individualized to the dog in front of me—because confidence, fulfillment, and success will look different for every dog.

The Popeye Program

Inspired by the dog who helped start it all, the Popeye Program makes professional training more accessible through discounted training for adopted and foster dogs, first responders, military members and veterans, and Skagit Canine Club clients.

It's one small way Hutter K9 continues to honor its roots in rescue while helping more dogs succeed in the homes they already have.
