Keilah’s Story
Lifeline K9 was founded by Keilah Early, an Inglewood native with a passion for animals. Keilah had her first dog at the age of 10- a massive Bull Mastiff. As she got comfortable handling her 100lb best friend, her love for dogs erupted into a genuine passion. She began volunteering at a local animal rescue and she and her mom were known as the neighbors that would take in any stray. Through this experience, Keilah got her hands on hundreds of dogs and her passion for loving dogs turned into a passion for training them.
Despite that passion, Keilah pursued and achieved a Bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and ended up working in a high-level security management position for a private security company. But in 2022, that would all change. Keilah decided to “take the plunge” and pursue dog training full force with a mission of providing accessible and affordable dog training to her community. Her business exploded and she’s been able to serve her community exactly the way she imagines by helping owners understand their dogs and assisting them with developing a safe, loving, unbreakable bond.
Keilah owns 2 Cane Corso’s herself- Chance who is her trained personal protection dog, and Mercy who she plans to compete with in protection sports.
Keilah’s Training Style
Keilah is a balanced dog trainer that leads with compassion and positivity. We utilize reward-based training to accomplish the most positive and least aversive results.
Lifeline K9 is dedicated to educating dog owners to better understand the way their dog thinks, why they act the way they do, their specific breed characteristics, and more. Education is the foundation of developing effective leadership in order to build trust and cultivate a a positive relationship with your dog.
Compassion, education, and leadership are the main ingredients of our “special sauce” and we look forward to teaching you and your pup the full recipe.
We have the recipe for success.
So what are you waiting for? Let’s get you a taste of the GOOD LIFE with your K9 companion
