About the trainers:

Minnesota Dog Trainer:

My name is Stephanie Beetsch and I have been working with dogs my whole life and training them professionally since 2001. I started by watching my dad teach our German Shepherd and stray dogs my mom would bring home. I was the only kid in the neighborhood who could bring their dog off leash outside to play.

I continued my education by apprenticing several different trainers and behaviorists using many different methods. I have trained dogs in obedience, behavior, agility, search and rescue as well as service work. I wanted to learn any and all methods because I have found not one method works for every person and every dog

Working with and learning from many different trainers through the years enables me to create the most effective training program for YOU and YOUR dog as there is not one way to train every dog and owner. I am not a one sided trainer with one trick up my sleeve!

I am currently in Southern Oregon and available for training. Call for questions and availability!

Las Vegas Trainer:
"I had the pleasure of working with and training Erin before she took over the Las Vegas training. She is very natural when it comes to handling and working with dogs. She is calm and very patient but can amp up the excitement when she needs to bring a bit more fun to the training. Erin is also a very good teacher when it comes to the human side as she can easily communicate training technique and goals to the human and dog alike." Stephanie Beetsch K9 Unleashed Owner.

My name is Erin Russell and dogs are a passion of mine.  I grew up always having dogs around and as an adult, got a dog as soon as I could provide a great environment.  I have a good deal of experience with dog obedience and have recently been mastering more dog behavior.  I apprenticed under Stephanie Beetsch, the founder of K9 Unleashed, who provided me with countless behavior and obedience techniques and tricks.  My goals with any dog and client that I work with are to find the best method for everyone involved...and make it FUN!
