Kristin Roberts – grew up with horses and dogs being part of her life. This quickly developed into a strong passion and motivation driving her to devote 4 years of high school focusing strictly on animal science classes. She also spent much of her time in a vet assistance program. Kristin is from the Wake Forest, NC area where she volunteered with the SPCA and Hope Reins for 5 years. Kristin moved to Wilmington, NC in 2022. It was during that time she adopted Koda (who has since passed away), a Great Pyrenees, who was very reactive towards dogs and people. Koda nearly pulled her down multiple times and was quite impossible to control in any public situation. It was then Kristin found Off Leash K9 Training, as a client and after her first lesson, she immediately knew she wanted to do this full time. Kristin is a dog lover first, and a dog trainer second. After the traumatic loss of Koda one of her dear clients located a litter of guardian breed puppies and “gifted” her Ryder. You may see him featured in her truck sporting his goggles going down the road or in public spaces. He knows he is a “cool dog.” Kristin loves the outdoors and being around water. She is best known for her OLK9 videos at all kinds of high distraction locations such as the mall, downtown and large box top stores.Because of her unique experience with Koda, Kristin knows first-hand the difference dog training makes in the relationship between dog and owner. Without professional training it can sometimes be a frustrating relationship, but with an investment in good training a wonderful transformation will occur. Kristin strives to bring this same relationship to your experience with OLK9!
