With 11 certifications as a master handler, master trainer, and K9 Behaviorist, Jon Paul has been training dogs for more than 17 years. He’s trained the entire behavioral spectrum - from puppies with no understanding of the difference between right and wrong, agility dogs, hunting dogs, emotional support, psychiatric support, and physical support dogs. However, Jon Paul feels he is able to put a positive stamp on the community through training dogs with hyperactivity, severe anxiety, or aggression issues. K9 Revolution has had the pleasure of bringing dogs in from all over the country and changing their behaviors to be positive members of society. He has a true passion for all feathered, finned, and furry friends and loves building relationships with dogs and owners.
Angela trained her personal dogs for over 15 years with the past two years spent learning under the master trainers at K9 Revolution while continuing to expand her knowledge through hands-on work and ongoing study. Her journey at K9 Revolution began with her own “untrainable” dog who failed out of other programs. As a paying customer (during the early days of dating Jon Paul), the team taught Aspen how to learn and Angela how to better communicate with her. Now, she specializes in puppies, helping set the foundation for calm, confident, and well-mannered dogs from the very beginning. Today, she loves guiding owners through those overwhelming early stages - sleepless nights, potty accidents, and confusion - so they can build a strong, positive relationship with their puppy. Angela finds it incredibly rewarding to do work that changes lives, and yes…getting to spend days with dogs means she’s got the best “job” on the planet!
Shannon’s professional journey began with her rescue dog, Charlie, who’s extreme fear required creativity when traditional training techniques didn’t work. Through helping him, she discovered her passion for supporting dogs and guiding them through their challenges. Shannon has over 4 years of hands-on experience specializing in helping fearful dogs work through big emotions and build confidence. Her approach focuses on advanced obedience through motivation - using activities like scent work, herding-style games, and structured fetch to engage each dog’s mind. She always starts by building strong relationships so dogs feel safe, motivated, and excited to learn.
As a certified master trainer with over 8 years experience in both obedience and service dog training, Steph feels like she’s getting to live the dream. Becoming a dog trainer started off as a “job” to work through a difficult time in life. She soon realized it was her passion and the dogs helped her more than she feels like she helps them. This is no longer just a job - it’s her soul’s passion and purpose while helping both pet and pet parents live better lives together. It’s just a tiny piece of giving back and adding more love and positivity into this world.
With over 6 years of professional experience working with dogs, her passion for animals has been lifelong. Karissa has had the privilege of working with puppies, obedience training, and working dogs. She continues to expand her knowledge by learning from more experienced trainers, staying observant, and remaining eager to grow. Her journey into dog training began with her own dogs to become a better human for them, build an unbreakable bond, and gaining tools to truly understand their needs. Karissa respects the incredible power dogs offer through unconditional love and being able to help strengthen that understanding between dog and owner is truly a gift.
