Hi, I’m Angelina, the founder of Roaming K9 LLC.
My journey with dogs started at a very young age. I’ve always been fascinated by animals, especially dogs. Growing up, I had all the dog plushies, movies, and books—but what caught my attention the most were police dogs. I thought they were the coolest thing ever. That interest pushed me to learn more about dogs, their breeds, their purpose, and how they’re trained.
I got my first personal dog, a German Shepherd, at the age of 9 after begging my parents for a very long time. That dog became my entry into the world of dog training. I started training as a preteen, which allowed me to build connections with experienced trainers and handlers early on. Over time, I worked with many different dogs. I volunteered with Guide Dogs for the Blind for several years, worked with shelter dogs, and spent a couple of years working at a pet hospital. I originally thought I wanted to go into the medical field, but eventually realized it wasn’t the right fit for me. During my teen years, I began training in dog sports, including French Ring, with my personal Belgian Malinois. This pushed me to keep learning and improving, and I found inspiration from trainers such as Michael Ellis, Ivan Balabanov, Kellie Connell, Denise Fenzi, and others.
Through years of hands-on experience, I’ve built the foundation that shaped me into the handler and trainer I am today. I strive to be knowledgeable, fair, and understanding when it comes to dog behavior. I started Roaming K9 to help owners live an easier life with their dogs and to help them include their dogs more into their everyday lives, just as I did growing up. My focus goes beyond basic obedience. I believe in helping owners understand their dogs and build a strong, clear relationship with them. My training approach is balanced and realistic, and I’m honest about what it truly means to own and live with a dog. Dog training can feel overwhelming, confusing, and even frustrating at times but you don’t have to figure it out alone. With genuine passion and years of experience, my goal is to educate owners, guide you, support you, and help make life with your dog clearer and more enjoyable.
