When Daniel McLaughlin founded Loudoun K9 more than 7 years ago, he wanted to create a unique and personal dog training experience. His mission is still our mission today - to foster a healthy, respectful relationship that leads to freedom for both owners and their dogs. At Loudoun K9, we have the experience to help with any training or behavior problem, from puppy training to obedience, stress and anxiety to aggression - and everything in between.
I was a struggling with Ollie, my 2.5 year-old Border Collie/German Shepherd rescue. He suffered with anxiety, fear aggression, and horrible on the leash manners. I couldn't trust Ollie around other dogs and although he was never human aggressive, his outbursts made me nervous to have him around children.
After meeting Daniel for an in-home assessment, we ultimately went with the 3-week Board & Train program, followed by six in home visits I say we, because Daniel and his team worked hard to not only support my baby, but Daniel was also super supportive of me.

I've been enamored with dogs from a young age; at the age of 7, Lancer appeared in my life and the rest, as they say, was history.
I have been fortunate to work with a variety of dogs from all walks of life.
There is nothing more rewarding to me than taking a dog that is experiencing challenges and training it so it can live a full and happy life with its owners.
As a father, and long time resident of Loudoun County, people often ask how I got started training dogs and developed a full-time business out of my childhood hobby.

At Loudoun K9, we take pride in everything we do, including the way we train our employees.

During this time, all of our candidates work as kennel techs and take part in rigorous on-the-job training.
Once this period is complete, candidates move on to our apprentice program.
This time is when they learn the Loudoun K9 philosophies and approach through education, feedback, training opportunities, all under the guidance of our full-time employees.
