Helping Dogs and Their People Thrive—Together
We understand that dog training isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Every dog has a story, every owner has a vision, and every relationship is unique. That’s why we offer so much more than obedience—we help you and your dog build a foundation of trust, mutual respect, and long-term success.
Our Training Services
Private Lessons
Learn how to change behavior patterns. Experience an understanding collaborative effort. Understand your dogs needs and wants. Gain skills so that you are able to manage your dog even after lessons have ended.
Board and Trains
Let us train your dog from anywhere between 2 to 5weeks. Your dog will come home with the skills you need to live the lifestyle you want.
Holistic, Wellness-Based Approach
We don’t just correct behaviors—we address the root cause of them.
Our training model integrates all aspects of your dog’s life: physical health, mental stimulation, emotional balance, and environmental stability. We take into account diet, sleep, enrichment routines, energy levels, and stress triggers to create a truly whole-dog solution. By nurturing your dog’s overall wellness, we reduce problem behaviors naturally and promote calm, confident behavior.
Your dog isn’t a machine—they’re a thinking, feeling companion. Our approach honors that.
Personalized Training Plans Designed for Your Dog’s Unique Journey
Because your dog’s story is unlike any other.
At K9 Wellness Academy, we don’t offer cookie-cutter programs. Every training plan is tailored to your dog’s breed, age, temperament, and current challenges—as well as your goals, schedule, and lifestyle. Whether you have a high-energy puppy that needs structure, a rescue with past trauma, or an older dog needing a behavior reset, we adapt our methods to meet you where you are.
You get a plan that works for your life—not just one that looks good on paper.
We Train Dogs—But We Coach People.
Many behavioral problems stem from miscommunication between owner and dog. That’s why we prioritize teaching you how to read your dog’s body language, understand their motivations, and clearly communicate expectations. Our sessions are as much about your learning as your dog’s—offering expert dog training Orange County and Los Angeles County.
You’ll leave each lesson not just with a better-behaved dog—but with the knowledge and confidence to handle any challenge that arises.
Focused on Real-World Results, Not Just Commands
Sit, stay, and heel are only the beginning.
Our goal is to help you and your dog navigate real-life situations with ease. That means calm behavior in your home, polite manners in public, and reliable responses in the face of distractions. We train in practical environments—like parks, sidewalks, and your home—so your dog’s new skills aren’t just theoretical. They work when you need them most.
From family gatherings to vet visits to peaceful neighborhood walks—our training prepares your dog to succeed where it truly counts.

About Us
Meet the founder!
My name is Irene Roman, and I’m deeply passionate about helping people build stronger, more fulfilling relationships with their dogs.
​
I’ve been in your shoes, facing challenges with my own pup—from reactivity to relentless leash pulling. Those experiences taught me invaluable lessons about patience, understanding, and effective training techniques. Now, I’m here to share those insights with you, so you can achieve real and lasting progress with your dog.
