Skylar is very professional and a great communicator! Best of all, our dogs love her. Highly recommend!

Phenomenal trainer. She is gentle enough that any dog will fall in love with her, but stern enough that any dog will listen & learn from her. If you need a local, in-home trainer - book Skylar with Nova K9!
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Skylar and the incredible work she did with our dog, Chester! From the very first session, it was clear that Skylar has a natural gift for connecting with dogs and making the training process fun and effective for both pup and owner.... Perhaps the most impactful improvement has been with Chester’s jumping.... Thanks to Skylar’s consistent guidance and techniques, Chester has made huge strides in greeting house guests calmly, something our visitors are very grateful for. If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your dog’s success, Skylar is the one to call. Chester is a happier, better-behaved pup because of her, and we couldn’t be more thankful!
Our Legacy
At Nova K9 Academy, our mission is simple: to build better relationships between dogs and their owners through trust, communication, and consistency.
Founded with a passion for animals and a commitment to helping others, Nova K9 Academy was created to provide personalized, in-home dog training that fits real life. We believe that every dog has the potential to be calm, confident, and well-behaved, and every owner deserves the knowledge and tools to make that happen.
The name “Nova” carries a deeper meaning. This business was created in memory of a beloved dog who made a lasting impact and inspired a lifelong passion for working with animals. After her passing, Nova K9 Academy became a way to carry her legacy forward by helping other dogs live better, fuller lives and strengthening the bond they share with their owners.
Our approach focuses on more than just obedience. We work to understand each dog individually, addressing behavior at its root while guiding owners every step of the way. Whether it’s a new puppy learning the basics or a dog overcoming reactivity, our goal is to create lasting results that carry into everyday life.
Nova K9 Academy is built on patience, consistency, and genuine care. We take pride in creating an environment where both dogs and owners feel supported, confident, and set up for success long after training ends.
This is more than training, it’s a foundation for a better life with your dog.
At Nova K9 Academy, we empower dogs and owners.
Our mission is to foster strong, lasting bonds. We teach not only the dog, but also the owner.
