Lauren is a full-time trainer at Method K9. As a former euthanasia technician and adoption coordinator for the humane society, she has seen the unfortunate end result for many dogs with unaddressed behavioral issues. She has now chosen to dedicate her life to the solution and help us educate dog owners on leadership, communication, and advocacy. She enjoys spending time with her family and their senior shelter dog, Zara.

After having spent many years as a corrections officer, an unfortunate motorcycle accident changed her life. Her husky, Murphy, helped her stay strong through a very long recovery process, and once she was back in the saddle, she changed career paths in order to help dogs the way Murphy helped her. In addition to her work with Method K9, Hope has changed the lives of many dogs and owners through consistent volunteer work, shadow programs, and working with local shelters and rescues.

Karrie is the office manager at Method K9. She has 30+ years of customer service experience, an amazing attitude, and handles all of the scheduling, bookings, billing, and customer communication. She loves spending time with her husband, kids, and their dogs, River, Cooper, and Maddie.
