Meet The Team

Zenith K9's founder and lead trainer is certified in a multitude of training disciplines, and is committed to furthering her knowledge and skillsets by attending a variety of reputable seminars, lectures, and enrolling in nationally-acclaimed training theory courses. She is also a national dog sports competitor, and has trained and coached owners and their dogs to international championship success.  With over 20 years of experience I have proudly served in various industries including, movies, print ads, television shows & commercials, along with the LA County Sheriff's department.

With over 10 years of experience working with dogs, I've worn many hats in the industry, from professional dog groomer to animal shelter employee. I've had the pleasure of owning and caring for a wide range of breeds, including various working, herding, and guarding breeds. My Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Pancake, is a proud Zenith K9 success story, and I spend my free time working on trick training with her. I also cherish every moment with Turbo, my 15-year-old corgi, ensuring he stays happy and comfortable in his golden years.

I grew up around dogs and was bossing around all the dogs in our neighborhood by the time I was two years old. This developed strong communication skills and intricate understanding of canines. 

I utilize balanced approach to dog training as it produces the best results and builds confidence, strong communication, trust and that special bond between us and our canine companions.

I have decades of dog handling and training experiences and have worked with every group of dog and many breeds, doing socialization, obedience training, trick training, sent work, also behavior modification regarding reactivity.

I have a mini poodle, Leia, that I trained with Angela.  I have learned a lot during the training sessions like how to give commands (sit, down, wait, paw, and let's go). 

​

Training Leia gave me the passion to want to start working with other dogs.

​

Having the ability to follow exact directions allows me to provide safe care while also making sure they have fun.

Hi!  My name is Arli and I am a Kennel Technician here at Zenith K9 Resort.  I have always been around dogs my whole life.  I've had dogs since I was born and my family loves dogs as well.   

I have a Rottweiler named Milo and a French Bulldog named Mocha.  I take care of them everyday and make sure that they are well fed and always have water accessible.  I've also trained Milo to listen to commands.  I look forward to learning new commands to teach him and grooming skills.
