A family business built around dogs.
Is our name bugging you yet? It’s not misspelled. It’s our last name. K9 AdvantEDGE is a true family business run by Tyler and Esther, with plenty of help and inspiration from the kids. Dogs are part of our everyday life, and that shows in our work.
We started K9 AdvantEDGE out of a genuine love for dogs and a desire to help dogs and their owners live better together. Training isn’t just about commands. It’s about communication, structure, and building a relationship that brings peace into your home.
Our balanced, real-world approach means no one-size-fits-all methods or quick fixes. Every dog and family is different, so we tailor training to what actually works in everyday life, not just during lessons.

We can’t recommend Tyler and Esther at K9 AdvantEDGE enough! They’ve worked with us and our brittany, Misty, to help us communicate, build a strong bond, and give Misty the confidence she needs to be a great dog! Their clear approach to training has really helped us set Misty up for positive behaviors.
Tyler & Esther have worked wonders with our Doberman, making it such a pleasant experience for us all in the process. My fiancé and I have learned the tools needed to have a fantastic and well mannered dog going forward. The training techniques implemented proved effective and our boy was picking it up on the very first session, getting better with each one. Tyler & Esther were such a kind, caring and personable duo, we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! This was the best investment we could have made into our dog. We couldn’t have done it without them.
K9 AdvantEdge was a huge help to us and our puppy. We were really struggling with commands and the craziness of a puppy. K9 came highly recommended to us. We did the 4 week overnight training and our puppy came back with a great base of commands and understanding. “Place” has been a life saver for us! We now feel like we have the tools needed to continue to train and develop our puppy. Tyler and Esther are so kind and easy to work with. Thanks again! It was a great decision for our family!
