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.
