We are a balanced dog training company that focuses on relationship based training. Come check us out!
Hi! I’m Florence and co-founder of MAD K9 Training, which stands for Mother and Daughter K9 Training. My daughter Dalia and I started our business two years ago with one goal in mind: to help dogs and their humans build strong, lasting relationships.
With a 5-year internship under my belt and certifications as an AKC evaluator for S.T.A.R. Puppy, Canine Good Citizen (CGC), and Therapy Dog programs, I bring both experience and heart to every session. I love seeing our clients grow in confidence, whether they’re working on basic manners, therapy prep, or getting involved in dog sports.
Speaking of sports—my dog Reina a Dogue de Bordeaux currently holds the #1 ranking in AKC Fast CAT! I also have Hulk a certified therapy dog who loves visiting nursing homes and hospitals, spreading comfort and smiles wherever he goes.
At MAD K9, we’re all about personalized, balanced training—en español también—and we’re so proud to be part of our clients’ journeys.

I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer with 10+ years of experience, and excelling in relationship building. I started my career volunteering at a local shelter and was soon promoted to a Vet Tech. While I enjoyed the work, I found it emotionally and mentally draining to have to euthanize dogs due to behavioral issues. This experience inspired mE to become a Dog Trainer and help prevent these animals from ever having to end up in a shelter. After rescuing my first Malinois (Jesse James) I became obsessed with giving him the best life possible.
