About Us
We are a company that provides tailored canine nutrition and dog training.
We specialize in reactive dogs and behavioral modification, but love we love all types of dog owners whether that be pet owners, service handlers, and dog sport lovers.
We help dogs understand what behaviors are wanted and unwanted. We work with both the owner and the dog to develop a lifestyle that both can enjoy. Rather than simply teaching you how to train, we will use your feedback and opinions to shape our training sessions so that you can best understand us.
Training is so much more than just throwing treats at the dog. K9 Wellness Academy is a firm believer and practitioner of L.I.M.A. Training. This type of training method is encouraged by the IAABC (International Association Behavior Consultants) and the APDT (Association of Professional Dog Trainers). Please visit IAABC’s/APDT’s position statement online to learn more.
We work with all breeds, all sizes, and all backgrounds.

About the owner
Irene Roman started this company during her college years in hopes of helping pet parents provide a healthier lifestyle for their dogs. She first started off interning at the North Valley Veterinary Center under the supervision of Misty Heirchbein. She learned about the effect of canine nutrition on animal behavior and went on to get her canine nutrition certification from Canine Animal Science Institute.
From there she deepened her understanding of animal behavior by working with Atlas Assistance Dog, a service dog organization. She continues to expand her knowledge by attending professional dog training and canine nutrition conferences to keep up to date about training methods and nutrition.
Irene spilts her time between Claremont, CA and Yorba Linda, CA with her service dog in training, Remaru.
"Life is not any fun without a well behaved dog by your side"
Irene first graduated with a degree in psychology. She promptly realized that the clinical atmosphere was just not for her and that she desired a more hands on approach where she could still work with people with disabilities. This lead her to discover her love for service dog training. Her goal is to develop a service dog training company that is a safe and affordable option for those in need. She would also like to be the first service dog organization that supports and promote raw feeding.
