Erika Krahe

Hello, I'm Erika!I grew up in Raleigh, NC and have always been fascinated with animals! I began my career in the veterinary field but then realized that my true passion lies within the canine mind as opposed to the medical side.So in 2019 I delved into the world of training by taking a job in dog training. I gained pivotal hands-on experience with pet, personal protection, police and military working dogs. As well as being introduced to the amazing dog sport of PSA (Protection Sports Association).Since then I've been hooked on improving my knowledge of dog training through seminars, other trainers, traveling to train and personal experience.Every dog owner has a unique bond with their dog, but the relationship you build with your dog through training is something special.Not only do you learn more about them but you learn how to properly and clearly communicate with them. This reduces stress in the relationship and opens up more room for positive growth and bonding.My role is to help you and your dog achieve this! Watching this process becoming a reality is my favorite aspect of my job. As the youngest of 5 kids, I understand a busy household and the challenges of having an unclear dog in that environment.And I enjoy seeing families and dogs build successful relationships. In my spare time you can always find me outdoors!Whether I'm training sport dogs (PSA - protection sports association or French Ring) or just enjoying nature. As much as I enjoy training dogs, I also love sharing it with owners.
