My name is Malia Vineyard, I am the owner of 143K9 Dog Training with 8 years of education and experience in this field. 143 is a numerical expression for I love you. I chose this because we do everything out of love for our family including our pets. If you're here, looking into training options, you're doing it for the love of your dog and wanting to help them and yourself! I am a balanced dog trainer that specializes in behavior modification, socialization, enrichment plans, and obedience training.

My passion and love for dogs began at a young age. As soon as I turned 16, I started working for a dog boarding facility. There was a dog trainer there that I shadowed and observed. He trained me on basic training and dog socialization. After a few years there, I went on to work at another facility for 2 1/2 years that took in rescues from other states on the kill list. I worked with two other trainers, and together worked on behavior modification and rehabilitation with the rescues. I also fostered and worked with potential adopting families. After that, I wanted to continue my education and evolve as a trainer. I started a new path at another facility for 3 years. In those 3 years I created a training center. I created schedules, training packages, trained employees, and managed clientele.

With all of this experience that I am grateful for, I am now well equipped to begin my own path. I can say I have almost seen it all and guarantee that I can help make a positive difference in you and your dog's life.
