MEET THE TRAINERS

Jeff Allen

Cornerstone K9 Owner/Trainer


Hi, I’m Jeff…. I started working and training pet dogs in 2010, a year after I was introduced to the dog sport of PSA (Protection Sports Association). Since that time, I have been training pet dogs with a wide variety of needs, and competing with my own dogs in PSA. I have decoyed at Regional and National level events and also competed with my own dogs at that level. I own 3 crazy Belgian Malinois that keep me on my toes. Murphy, Silas, and Bucky. Murphy, I have titled in PSA (Dog Sport) placing 3rd at PSA Nationals in 2019, and closing out his PSA2 in 2021.. In 2022 Murphy was South Regional Vice Champion for PSA3. Silas has French Ring titles (earned before I had him), and a PDC earned while he’s been with me. Bucky is still in training and will be hitting the trial field 2023. Beside training my own dogs for sport, I am also training director for Sandhills PSA Club.

Now let’s talk Cornerstone K9. Training dogs has always been a passion of mine, it just always puts a smile on my face. I can say I am the luckiest person alive, training dogs have never felt like work. I love seeing dogs learn and accomplish new behaviors, and their owners coming along with them on that journey. Cornerstone K9 has been around for me for some time now, and made official in 2021. Myself and my trainers are dedicated to you and your pup. We pride ourselves on returning a well trained pup back to you. And making sure you are very informed throughout the whole training process.

CHRIS

Cornerstone K9 Trainer/ Pro Shop

Hey, my name is Chris. I grew up in California along side German Shepherd Sierra till I joined the army in 2016. I spent 6 years in the infantry. Getting out of the army last year dog training quickly consumed me and became my passion.

Having a Belgian Malinois named Zev who is 2 has been by my side since he was 8 weeks old. Zev really sparked my interest is dogs and helped me discover my love for dogs and training. I look forward to helping you and your dogs achieve your goals and build a better bond with your k9 companion!

Karissa

Cornerstone K9 Trainer


I recently separated from the Air Force after serving for 10 years. I started my career in the military in 2013 as Security Forces and moved to Mountain Home, ID. From there I pursued my dream of working in the Military Working Dog world and graduated the school in 2015.

I spent my handler career in Colorado Springs, CO at Peterson AFB. Here, I deployed overseas and completed over a dozen POTUS/VPOTUS missions with my dual purpose dogs Roky, Dano, and Ben. My last three years in the Air Force, I dedicated my time to my students as a Ground Combat Readiness Training Course Instructor. Additionally, I specialized as a Military Working Dog Team Trainer.

Throughout this time I took a deep dive into Dog Psychology and Behavior and Learning. Which now helps me better understand how to take on each dog I train with patience and understanding In my free time, I enjoy everything outdoors and anything adventurous. This includes hiking, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, bow hunting, camping, and everything in between. I have 10 animals that includes 3 pet dogs, 1 retired MWD, 1 working dog, 4 cats, a mule and a quarter horse all on big piece of land.

I look forward to training your pup and helping you have the best relationship with them.

Kaitlin

Cornerstone K9 Trainer

Hi! My name is Kaitlin and I grew up in Garner, NC. I own two Pitbulls named Riley and Kane. I have had a passion for animals from a young age.

I started riding and working with horses when I was 11, as well as owning many different pets of my own. After that I started working with dogs and quickly realized I was most passionate about training dogs!

I truly enjoy helping clients and their dogs achieve their goals. It is such a rewarding job to see each dog improve and become the best pups they can be! I look forward to my job each and every day.

Tyler

Cornerstone K9 Trainer

What’s going on! I’m Tyler minor, a professional dog trainer and canine specialist through Starmark Academy in 2017. Although I’ve been in the dog industries since 2015, where I started out at a doggy daycare boarding facility. I saw more potential in dogs that led me to a professional dog training school.

I’m on the path to helping owners, and most importantly the DOGS that are in front of me. Helping to strengthen the foundation and relationship between family and furry companions, is my passion. I have a growing family of 2 little boys, my wife, and 6 dogs.

Two of my personal dogs are “Kobe”, my 6 year old mini Aussie who started it all for me, and then “Sicario”, my 2 year old Belgian Malinois who I am competing with in PSA (Protection Sports Association) with!

Jenn

Cornerstone K9 Trainer

Hey there, I'm Jenn, and I've dedicated my life to the well-being and happiness of our four-legged friends. Living in Clayton with my husband and our two rescue pups, Blue Bear and Poppy, has only deepened my love for animals.

Growing up surrounded by the beauty of farmland, I developed a profound connection with animals early on. From dogs and cats to rabbits and goats, each creature held a special place in my heart. I found myself drawn to understanding their behavior, often spending hours playing and even trying my hand at training the dogs on our farm.

While my journey started in retail, I quickly realized my true calling lay elsewhere. In 2013, I decided to pursue my passion professionally and became certified in both dog grooming and training through Animal Behavior College. This opened doors for me to volunteer and train dogs at our local ASPCA, where I honed my skills and deepened my understanding of canine behavior.

In 2016, I took the leap and embarked on my career as a full-time dog trainer. It's been an incredibly rewarding journey, filled with wagging tails, furry hugs, and countless "a-ha" moments. Whether it's basic obedience, behavior modification, or specialized training, I offer personalized services tailored to meet the unique needs of every pup and their human.

Every day, I wake up grateful for the opportunity to do what I love. My mission is simple: to foster harmonious relationships between dogs and their families. Through patience, compassion, and positive reinforcement, I aim to empower both pups and their humans to build a bond built on trust, love, and mutual understanding.

Aggressive Dog Training Raleigh

My dog developed some aggressive traits and I sent him off to Megan for a 4 week training course. He came home so much better than before and she was able to teach me all the exercises and tools to set him up for success. It was also extremely helpful because whenever I had a question on things, she was available via text within just an hour or so and we could schedule a phone call if needed.

House Washing in Greenville SC

I am blown away by how clean my house looks. I thought we were going to have to repaint it! We hired Revel Pressure Washing to come in and power wash our house. They explained to us what pressure washing was and were very thorough with the quoting process. I am very pleased with the final outcome!

Pressure Washing in Greenville

My driveway was a disgusting algae covered eyesore, and frankly it was a safety hazard when it rained. Justin from Revel Pressure Washing got me a reasonable quote, and even convinced me to seal the driveway afterwards. It looks amazing, and with the sealant, I won't have to do this again for years.

Allison F.

Gutter Cleaning in Spartangburg

SAVED ME A TON OF MONEY!! Revel initially came by to give me a quote on my driveway, but asked to look at the house and gutters as well. Justin found my gutters were completely compacted and causing water to seem into my roof. He took care of everything, and save a potentially expensive insurance claim.
