January 30th, 2012 Na'vi was adopted.  She was a 6 year old Siberian Husky that was found as a stray. May 13th, 2017, she passed away. The rest is history.

​

Na'vi ignited a passion that grew into what we are today. She instilled the lasting idea of what a relationship between human and canine should be.

Navi K9 was founded in 2019 after President and Head Trainer, Elora Reid noticed an increasing trend of disconnect between owners and their dogs.  She saw people walking their dogs, instead of walking with their dogs.  There was no leadership or engagement and in turn no shortage of behavioural issues. 

After Na'vi passed, Elora didn't think she wanted another dog but quickly realized life felt much too empty without one.  She wanted a challenge, a dog she could do great things with - enter, Rawly.  A Dutch Shepherd puppy from working lines, Rawly was a whole new world. Realizing what having a dog from working lines took, she took charge and began to train him on her own.  As she dug deeper into dog training, the psychology side of things really intrigued her.  She began immersing herself in everything dog and behaviour related and that was it - she was hooked.

​

Venturing outside of her 10 year office career and starting off in the dog world as an apprentice, Elora completed 300 hours to become a professional dog trainer.  Working hands-on with both prospective police K9s and pet dogs, she got to see the best of both worlds. She decided to further her education even more by attending Georgian College for Canine Behaviour as well as frequenting various workshops and seminars.  Whether they focus on protection sports, relationship building, decoy skills, or puppy foundations, she firmly believes that learning never ends and is constantly striving to take in new information from various venues that will transfer directly to every dog she encounters.

After realizing that without a doubt this was the path for her, Navi K9 was born.

​

Navi K9 believes that the connection between human and canine is of utmost importance. Trust, clarity, consistency and structure is paramount in building a bond that is unbreakable.  Through fair, balanced training we strive to help people achieve the best possible relationship with their dogs whether young, old, fearful, reactive, aggressive - we don't discriminate.  Let us guide you on how to open up more lines of communication and take your relationship to the next level.
