About Us

At K9 Healers, we foster relationships through trust, understanding, and positive communication. Founded by Gail Furst, we connect dogs and owners with kind, reward-based training. Our approach emphasizes positive reinforcement and Family Dog Mediation®, acknowledging each dog's unique genetics, environment, and past. This understanding helps strengthen your bond.

Whether preparing for therapy dog work, pursuing Canine Good Citizen (CGC) or AKC certifications, or seeking a better relationship with your dog, K9 Healers is here to help. We avoid harsh methods, focusing on enjoyable, rewarding experiences. We offer private lessons and group classes that build essential skills, improve communication, and promote positive social experiences.

Our mission is to bring joy, comfort, and connection to dogs and their owners — one paw at a time.
