Danny is co-owner and head trainer at Thompson K9. After apprenticing  under experienced trainers and then working as a trainer at an established company, he branched out on his own with Thompson K9 in 2020. He is an approved AKC CGC Evaluator and excels with dogs of every type. Dog training is his number one passion - whether other people's dogs or his own. 

Danny specializes in aggression cases: building trust with dogs that have learned to express their discomfort via displays of aggression and transforming them into calmer, healthier, and safer versions of themselves.

Rachel is co-owner, business manager, and trainer at Thompson K9. In addition to training, she handles the day-to-day tasks from website maintenance and social media to appointment scheduling and answering client inquiries. Her own dogs and background in customer service have ignited her love for dog training - she enjoys helping both the dog and the owner.

Rachel has a passion for handling working dogs, in both obedience and protection, and for working with puppies in particular, helping them learn to navigate the world with confidence.
