Meet Your Dog’s New Mentor

Empowering families with calm, confident companions

More Than Training—It’s About Trust

At K9 Mentor Academy, we believe great dog training starts with strong relationships. We’re not just here to teach your dog commands—we’re here to help your entire family communicate, bond, and thrive together.

Why I Started K9 Mentor Academy

Hi, I’m Kyle Sedgwick, founder of K9 Mentor Academy. My journey began not just as a dog trainer, but as a lifelong dog lover and problem-solver. After working with families, shelters, and even my own pup, I saw firsthand how patient, positive training can completely transform a home. I started K9 Mentor Academy to bring that transformation to more families—because every dog deserves a calm, confident life.

A Family-Centered, Positive Approach

  • We use force-free, science-backed methods

  • Training is customized to your family’s lifestyle

  • Kids and adults are active participants

  • It’s not just about commands—it’s about understanding behavior

  • We teach you how to be your dog’s mentor, not just their manager
