About Malasia
Owner & Head Trainer:
Malasia grew up with dogs and has been working with animals her whole life! She worked on a hobby farm for a couple of years while they were her neighbor, she would often pet and house sit for people in the neighborhood and was always outside running around and biking with her family dog, Jax the German Shepherd! For as long as she can remember, animals in general has always been her passion and it was her dream/goal to do it full time!
​
In 2021 she got her first official job in the pet industry at a doggy day care and In October 2021 she got her first own dog, Tucker the Cardigan Corgi. Things really took off from here and she knew that she'd be in the pet industry for life!
​
She began to grow a deep understanding of the importance in relationship building, proper socialization and confidence building! As Malasia grew to learn more about dog body language, socialization & training styles, she strived to provide the best care & training for him possible to ensure he had a fulfilling happy life.
​
She continued researching, learning & working towards her dog trainer certificate to be able to confidently start her own dog training/ boarding business in 2022. Her life is dedicated to helping dog owners build a strong relationship with their dog & work towards their goals with her programs that contains all the best practices found in her experiences, while avoiding practices that are not of the highest standard. She continues to expand her knowledge as the years go on by attending workshops, taking courses and completing more mentorships. She continues to learn from the best trainers that have similar training styles and years of experience and knowledge.
Malasia has consistently been fostering and training rescue dogs since November 2022 and has fallen in love with providing them a loving home until they find their perfect match! She is grateful to have the ability to rehabilitate, asses and train dogs/puppy's through her programs. Watching them grow and gain confidence in our world is truly a rewarding thing!
The priority is to get to know each individual dog & their specific body language as all dogs have their own personality, play style, & the way they engage with people or dogs. This is why it's important to understand that it’s not a one way fits all. We change our training style and/or approach to fit the dogs needs to accomplish the goals set for the individual dog. We always go in with positivity & patience and strive to build clear communication between you & your dog.
​
We want you to have full faith in us & our ability to provide your dog with the best care &/or training available. We strive to provide the knowledge & tools for the pet parents/owners thats needed and ensure that you are fully updated & well informed.
A Message from Malasia
With 5 dogs of my own, I always strive to give them the best life I possibly can. They are my world & I want to always make sure they are safe, fulfilled & healthy.
This will carry into the care that I give to your dog(s). Whether your dog boards with me or we are working towards strengthening your relationship with your pup & bettering them through a training program, I will always give my best effort to create a positive & comfortable environment for you & your dog(s).
