Meet The Off Leash K9 Team

Trish - owner

Portland and surrounding areas: Trish brings a lot of dog training experience to Portland, Oregon! Trish spent twelve years of active duty in the United States Air Force, ten as a military working dog handler which included six different duty stations and two deployments. While at her home station, her and her (K9) partner would often times provide local law enforcement with back-up, supervise subordinates, and even assisted in Presidential event sweeps along with the US Secret Service. In her ten years of service, she had the opportunity to work with hundreds of different dogs.

Trish is excited to bring her wealth of knowledge and experience to the Portland, Oregon area! She is very experienced in training dogs for basic and advanced obedience, detection work, as well as dealing with behavioral modification, puppy training, and aggression and/or reactivity cases.
She is excited to give owners the same level of training, discipline, and obedience as the military working dogs she had worked for ten years; regardless of their age, size, or breed!

Trish is the proud owner of a six year old Caucasian Shepherd named Judy and a four year old black lab named Ava.

Myriah- Trainer

Portland and surrounding areas: Myriah was raised around a lot of different dog breeds, and has always had an interest in working with dogs. Myriah has 2 dogs of her own Keanu, a Rottweiler poodle mix, and Cooper, a Pitbull cattle dog mix. In 2017 she got her first job at a dog kennel where she worked for 3 years. In late 2018 she adopted a mastiff that was very human and dog reactive shortly after that she started working with OffLeash. While learning how to train with OffLeash she was working on her new skills with her Mastiff Oliver which taught her a lot about working with reactivity, and showed her how much of a difference training can make. From then on she realized that she wanted to continue working to help reactive dogs and the owners be more confident and comfortable. She loves being a part of the OffLeash family and loves all of the experience, and skills she continues to gain with every dog she gets to work with.

Nate - Trainer

Bend and surrounding areas: Nate has grown up with family dogs all his life. He found OLK9 training when he needed help with Ronin, the Lab/GSD that he recused. Before training, Ronin was very dog aggressive, human aggressive and liked to do his own thing but OLK9 changed all that. Ronin now goes everywhere Nate goes and enjoys the OffLeash life! When OLK9BEND was hiring, he jumped at the chance to help people with their dogs like training helped him.

Nate loves to hike, mountain bike, snowshoe…basically be outside! Bend is a great place to live because of all the opportunities to go play outside with your dog; Nate loves to help people get out more with their dog.
