    Dannie is the Co-Founder & Director of K9netic Pack and a proud U.S. military veteran. She also oversees the K9netic Assist Core Program, which develops Emotional Support Animals, Therapy Dogs, and Service Dogs —a cornerstone initiative designed to strengthen the bond between dogs and the people who rely on them.

    With more than a decade of hands-on experience in canine behavior, service dog training, and animal care, Dannie has dedicated her career to helping dogs and their families build stronger, healthier relationships. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences and Psychology from Frostburg State University, pairing her academic background with industry-recognized certifications as a Fear Free Certified Professional, AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, and Will Atherton Approved Trainer.

    Her professional background includes serving as a Service Dog Training Instructor at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) at Walter Reed, where she specialized in training service dogs for military members and veterans managing PTSD and physical injuries. Beyond her military medical work, she also gained extensive shelter and rescue experience as a Canine Behavior Evaluator, Veterinary Technician, Animal Control Officer, and Animal Caretaker—deepening her expertise in rehabilitation, behavior modification, and adoption placement.

    At K9netic Pack, Dannie combines military discipline, scientific knowledge, and professional certifications with a compassionate, balanced training philosophy. For her, training goes beyond obedience—it’s about restoring trust, building confidence, and creating lifelong bonds between dogs and the people who love them.

    Will McKinnon IV

    Balanced Dog Trainer | Canine Behaviorist| Director of Operations & Engagement | Certified Canine Nutritionist

    Will McKinnon is the Co-Founder & Director of Operations & Engagement at K9netic Pack and a proud U.S. Army veteran. He also serves as the Director of Behavioral Modification and the Lead Trainer for the Guardians in Training Protection Dog Program, specializing in behavior modification, real-world obedience, and advanced protection training.

    With years of hands-on experience, Will’s foundation in canine behavior was shaped through his work as a military working dog handler, where he trained and managed high-drive, task-focused K9s under real-world pressure. This experience gave him critical skills in rehabilitating serious behavioral issues such as fear, reactivity, and aggression—skills that extend far beyond teaching commands to already well-adjusted pets.

    He is a Will Atherton Approved Trainer, an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, and a Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist, further solidifying his well-rounded expertise in both behavior and canine health.

    At K9netic Pack, Will blends military discipline, balanced training methods, and professional certifications to create real results for both dogs and their handlers. Guided by the principles of connection, communication, and education, his mission is not just to train dogs, but to empower owners with the tools and confidence to succeed long after training ends.
