About Malia
One trainer. Your home. 20 years.
I grew up with dogs. Not as a hobby — as a way of life. I was a junior handler before I was a teenager, competing with German Shepherds and learning what it means to communicate with a working breed that demands precision and trust.
That foundation turned into 20 years of professional training. I have worked with German Shepherds, Bernese Mountain Dogs, American Bullies, Belgian Malinois, and dozens of other breeds — from 8-week-old puppies to adult dogs with serious behavioural challenges.
I chose the mobile model deliberately. Dogs do not struggle in training facilities — they struggle in their homes, on their walks, at their front doors. Training in a controlled environment produces controlled results. Training in the real environment produces real results.
When you book with Malia K9, you get me. Not an associate, not a trainee — me. Every session, every time. That continuity matters more than most people realize until they experience it.

“Our German Shepherd was reactive to every dog on our street. After 6 sessions with Malia, we can walk past the neighbour's yard without a meltdown. She changed our daily life.”
