Professional dog training services for a happier, well-behaved companion
Serving Omaha, Nebraska and surrounding areas
Get StartedAt Washburn K9, our goal is to help our clients build a solid foundation with their dog in order to communicate effectively as a team. We use a reward-based balanced approach to training. We start with the foundations, and build you up to create a positive relationship and successful communication system between you and your dog. No two teams are the same, so we build a training plan that is designed specifically for you.
I am an Air Force Veteran, wife and special needs mom. In 2018 I was interested in a service dog for my disabled daughter, but quickly realized how expensive and time consuming it would be. I have had dogs in my life since I was nine, and I have always had an interest in dog training, so I started researching and pursuing that goal in 2021, after bringing home my first Bernese Mountain Dog, Kevin.
I have been working with clients and their dogs since 2021. I have consistently pursued continuing education and I'm always learning how to better understand canine cognition and how to apply that knowledge to my training process.
Kevin and Molly are Bernese Mountain Dogs. They both love training, playing and exploring, and help me daily when working with clients.
Gnocchi is a rowdy Australian Shepherd pup and joined our family in October of 2024. She will be showing in conformation, and competing in agility in the future.

I strive to be as force-free as possible. My goal is to build a valuable relationship between the dog and handler(s). I aim to achieve clear, concise and effective communication between Client, Dog, and Trainer.
Training aids/tools are an essential component in training, and in some cases I may recommend specific tools to help aid in our training sessions.
The time it takes to see results varies depending on the dog and the consistency of training. Some dogs may show improvement within a few sessions, while others may take longer.
We require a 24-hour notice for cancellations. If you cancel within 24 hours of your scheduled session, a cancellation fee may apply.
Currently, we focus on personalized one-on-one training sessions to provide the best possible results for each dog and handler team. Group classes may be offered in the future.
