Momentum K9

About Us

At Momentum K9, I strive to give you the skills and knowledge to be your dog's best trainer and ally. We understand that it’s the small details that can make the greatest impact and that commitment to the process is what gets you to your goal: from selecting the right dogs for programs, to developing handlers to work effectively with their K9, and building confident, resilient, high-drive dogs with a strong work ethic, and all the training in between — Momentum K9 is about helping you build strong bonds and skills to create successful human-dog teams. Don't have a working dog, we work with owners and pet dogs as well!

With a lifelong dedication to dogs and natural resource conservation, owner Lauren Wendt merged these passions in 2016, forging a path that intertwines expertise in canine handling and training with a background in biology and natural resource law enforcement. Along the way, Lauren has sought to learn and incorporate skills, understanding, and techniques from an extensive variety of training methodologies, programs, and philosophies. Lauren’s journey has equipped her with diverse and distinctive skill sets, from gun dogs to agility to disaster search and rescue to conservation and more.

With these skill sets and experience, Momentum K9 offers training, coaching, and consulting to clients in various facets of the working and sporting dog world. Lauren recognizes the individuality of every K9, owner/handler, and program, approaching each with the understanding that uniquely tailored solutions and innovation are imperative to success.
