Summit K9 Philosophy
At Summit K9 we believe that every dog deserves a life filled with clarity, confidence, and real adventure. Not just obedience for the sake of it!
We use a balanced training approach that gives us the tools to communicate fairly and consistently, so your dog understands what’s expected and feels secure in your relationship. We prioritize quality of life: a dog who can hike off-leash with you, greet the world calmly, and still practice reliable obedience when it matters.
The goal isn’t a perfect performance. It’s a partnership built on trust, mutual respect, and the freedom to explore life together.
Success Stories
"Working with Avery has truly changed my relationship with my dog. Proper use of the e-collar has completely transformed my dogs reliability in his obedience in different environments. We have achieved a level of freedom and trust that I never thought was possible! I'm so grateful for Avery's guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone with a dog!"

"Anyone with a leash puller or a reactive dog knows the anxiety that can be associated with simple dogs walks at times. After one session with Avery, my stubborn dog Fable stopped pulling. After two, we saw reactivity decline significantly. It's like I finally learned how to communicate with my dog. Can't wait to complete the functional off leash program and live the adventure dog life I've been dreaming of."

"Two sessions with Avery resolved our 6 year old black lab's leash pulling. He is now consistently walking by my side with a loose leash. Unlike many other canine trainers we have worked with, Avery is extremely professional and very clear with how to correct our issues when walking on leash. Highly recommend her and her training approach!"

"When we first started training, Nacho absolutely hated his crate. The first two weeks were filled with crying, discomfort and lots of uncertainty. With Avery's patience, guidance, and trusting the process, we've seen such an amazing transformation. Nacho now loves his crate and happily goes in on his own - it's become his safe space. We're so grateful for the confidence she's helped him build! Place training has also been a game changer for Nacho. He's learning to settle, relax, and stay in one spot even with distractions around! With Avery's guidance and consistency, he's becoming more patient, calm and confident. It's amazing to see how quickly he's learning and how much progress he's made!"
