My name is Katie Zerick, owner of KZK9 Training, I am a Professional Dog Trainer based in the Lake Mary Heathrow area. I have had a passion for animals my whole life. My grandfather was an Army K9 trainer in South Korea so my dad always had multiple dogs in our house from a young age. I got into training from getting a working line german shepherd that was non-people friendly & reactive & fully training him myself, focusing on off leash training & public access. I was offered a job working for a big dog trainer in the Orlando area where I gained a lot more experience & have now ventured off to running my own dog training business. I think it’s very important to meet dogs needs physically & mentally & share the beauty of being able to take your dog with you anywhere through advanced obedience training & understanding canine behavior. Trained dogs have more freedom!
