Morgann has always had a passion for working with dogs. From a young age, her family ran a rescue out of their home in Florida. While they cared for a wide range of animals—cats, bunnies, rodents, reptiles, farm animals, and even an emu—dogs always held a special place in her heart. In addition to the rescue work, Morgann volunteered in veterinary clinics until she was old enough to begin her first official veterinary internship at age 14.

Morgann spent several years working in veterinary medicine. In 2017, she left home to attend the University of Georgia. During her first semester, while working at a veterinary clinic, she met someone who bred and trained German Shepherds for bomb detection work. In her free time, Morgann began volunteering at this working dog kennel and developed a keen interest in training dogs at a high level. During her time there, she contributed to the training and certification of multiple dogs that went on to serve police, military, and private handlers. This experience ignited her passion for dog training, leading her to leave vet school and pursue it full-time.

Morgann studied canine behavior, obedience, tracking and trailing, search and rescue, and detection dog programs through the Georgia K9 National Training Center. Upon graduating, she moved to Arizona to work full-time as a dog trainer. While in Arizona, she ventured into training protection dogs and collaborated with local Search and Rescue teams, all while continuing her volunteer work with animal rescues and shelters.

In 2022, Morgann relocated to Washington, where she has continued to expand her expertise by attending various training schools and seminars across the country. With roughly 14 years of experience working with dogs, she has helped countless dogs and their human companions overcome a wide range of challenges. Morgann is committed to continuous growth and learning, ensuring that she provides the best possible experience for both dogs and their owners. She is willing to train dogs in any area; however, she typically meets clients in Yelm, WA, Olympia, or Parkland/Spanaway, WA, or anywhere in between. Due to her location—an hour south of Tacoma—she does not drive to Seattle for pickups or turnovers.

Cierra grew up in Fountain, Colorado, where her love for dogs started early—even though she wasn’t allowed to have one of her own as a child. Her aunt had boxers, and even as a kid, Cierra was drawn to training them. She’d teach them simple commands like sit, stay, and shake, not knowing what she was doing but loving every second of it. Every birthday, she wished for a dog of her own. That wish finally came true in 2015 when she graduated and moved out on her own. She adopted her first dog, Sully, a Shar Pei mix, and quickly dove into the pet world—walking dogs, pet sitting, and gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all types. She began training Sully using positive reinforcement, which led to the adoption of two more rescue dogs.

Her second dog, Lilo, changed everything. Lilo displayed severe reactivity and aggression toward other dogs, and nothing Cierra tried—treats, toys, or love—was helping. Determined to help her, Cierra immersed herself in research, worked with professional trainers, and discovered balanced training. It completely transformed Lilo’s life—and Cierra’s. That experience sparked a passion for helping other reactive dogs and their owners.

Cierra earned her Dog Training Certification through Animal Behavior College and volunteered at her local shelter, where she walked dogs, helped match them with new homes, and assisted with rescue photography to help dogs get adopted.

She began her professional journey with Off Leash K9 Training in Colorado Springs, starting as a kennel tech. Though the facility wasn’t hiring trainers at the time, Cierra dedicated herself to learning everything she could—shadowing trainers, studying methods, and working hands-on with dogs daily. Her hard work paid off, and she was promoted to trainer.

Since then, she’s worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and behavioral needs—including deaf dogs, seniors, littermates, and more. Her goal is to help owners truly understand their dogs and build strong, lasting relationships.

In her free time, Cierra enjoys dog sports like Barn Hunt, Toss & Fetch, and Urban Mushing, along with off-leash hiking adventures with her three rescue pups.Cierra
