Hello, I’m Trichelle — founder of ARK K9 Inc., based in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
What started as a passion for dog training has grown into a full-service canine education and care company. Today, ARK K9 is built around one mission: creating clear communication, structure, and confidence for both dogs and their owners.
Over the past 8 years, I’ve worked with a wide range of behavioral cases — from foundational obedience to complex reactivity and advanced off-leash reliability using tools such as e-collar conditioning. My approach is rooted in balanced training, combining structure, accountability, and proper pressure with clarity and care.
At our ARK K9 Training School, we offer structured programs designed for real-world results, including our Hybrid+ training program, private lessons, and immersive training experiences that focus on long-term success — not quick fixes.
Beyond training, ARK K9 has expanded into a true one-stop dog service experience, offering:
• Mobile grooming & nail care
• Mobile dog gym (slatmill conditioning)
• Pet taxi & field trips
• Structured daycare & enrichment
Everything we do is designed to support the physical, mental, and behavioral health of your dog.
Outside of the business, I am deeply committed to giving back to the community. Through our nonprofit, ARK Foundation of the Pacific Northwest, we actively support individuals in need — including survivors of human trafficking, victims of domestic violence, and those facing homelessness. Our long-term vision includes developing a safe haven that integrates animal-assisted therapy for healing and rehabilitation.
When you work with ARK K9, you’re not just investing in your dog — you’re supporting a larger mission to create better lives for both people and animals.
