Meet the Trainer: Alice Church, KPA-CTP, CPDT-KA

Alice Church is the heart behind K9 to 5 Dog Training. She graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in Biomedical Science, where she first discovered her passion (and hidden talent!) for dog training while raising her very first service dog.

Since then, Alice has trained everything from chihuahuas to alpacas, always focusing on positive, force-free methods that build confidence and cooperation.

She is a Certified Training Partner through the Karen Pryor Academy, a gold standard in professional dog training education. Her approach is rooted in science, compassion, and real-world experience.

Alice currently serves on the Board of Directors as President for IDEA Service Dogs in Keller, TX, continuing her commitment to helping dogs make a real difference in people’s lives.

Training That’s Science-Based, Heart-Led, and Tail-Waggingly Effective

At K9 to 5 Dog Training, we believe that great training doesn’t just teach dogs—it strengthens the bond between you and your best friend. Our programs are built on positive reinforcement, proven science, and a deep love for animals of all shapes and sizes.

Our mission is simple: to help dogs and their people communicate clearly, live peacefully, and enjoy a life of mutual trust and understanding.


Whether you’re looking for basic manners, a strong start for your puppy, or everyday obedience skills, Alice is here to guide you and your dog every step of the way—with patience, professionalism, and a whole lot of tail wags.
