MEL’S K9s

Below is a block description. It includes a picture and summary of our staff members. 

Melanie Sierra-Figueroa

Our founder and lead trainer.

She’s a natural entrepreneur.

My name is Melanie, I’m a retired US Army Veteran and I train dogs for a living one dog at a time.  I’ve gone through specific training since 2019 to pursue and accomplish a company worthwhile. 

I train dogs for obedience by providing private classes at your home.

I train dogs to become service dog classes, to perform tricks, and also I also train dogs to assist with their behavior by providing the service of behavioral modification like desensitization and counter conditioning.

Other services like trimming nails, walks, drop-in visits, daycare, house sittings, & boarding dogs are also available. 

Little Lady

Service dog

She’s a five year old Great Pyrenees & Chow Chow mix that demonstrates the standard of the overall quality of our service dog training program. 

Jessi Figueroa

Pit Bull Expert

He started being involved with canines by breeding Maltese since 2011. After the end of that chapter he started to foster Pit Bulls. This misconception of Pit Bulls being “an aggressive breed” has been his main drive. His mission is helping this misunderstood breed to not end up being euthanized by evaluating them and desensitizing many Pit Bulls of all ages and sizes. 

Nala

Jessi’s Service dog

She’s a six year old Blue-nosed Pit Bull that participates in our desensitization training program to adjust canine’s reactivity to other dogs.
