MEET THE TRAINER
K9’s in Harmony is owned & operated by Trisha Schaeffer
I grew up in the Central Valley near Modesto. I had a love for anything with fur and 4 legs from dogs to rats and rabbits and a great love for horses. Some of my fondest childhood memories are riding in the Santa Cruz mountains and camping with our horses.
I started showing my horse in my late teens. After moving to the Sierra foothills with my family and getting married shortly after I began working with a local horse trainer. I worked under her for a year and half before branching out on my own starting young horses and working with some problem horses( I always like a challenge– like my stubborn pony growing up). I did this for a number of years, along with raising a Top 5 Buckskin World Championship stallion in 2009.
Eventually I began my career in a veterinarian practice as a front office person and vet assistant.

After starting at the veterinarian practice I was introduced to my first Belgian Malinois, to protection and obedience sport work. I fell in love with that level of connection with a dog and Working in harmony. I have worked with an array of multiple breeds from a tiny dachshund, to German Shepherds and Dobermans and everything in between. My joy comes from helping owners gain that special connection with their dogs no matter the breed or size.
