How it works
You Are Not Alone
​​Hi, I'm Lynn, the owner of Hikari K9 servicing the Beach Cities - Los Angeles, CA and Orange Country, CA. With 7 years of experience in the dog training industry, my career began in puppy training with the goal of becoming a service dog trainer. Over the course of 4 years working with puppies, I had the privilege of training over 150 puppies and guiding owners through the challenges of puppyhood. However, my life took a dramatic turn when I rescued my freeway dog, Goose.
​
From feeling on top of the world training puppies to feeling lost and helpless in trying to help my rescue dog, I lost confidence in myself in every aspect of my life. I began to notice how it was affecting my relationships with the people around me, and the guilt of seeing my dog suffer ate at me every single day.
​​​
As someone who has struggled with mental health challenges from a young age, Goose's behavioral training became a turning point for me. It helped me build mental resilience and become a stronger version of myself. By focusing on helping Goose, I not only grew in confidence but also developed a deeper sense of self. What was once a lonely life, overwhelmed with anxiety and dread, has now become an opportunity to help other owners who are struggling to live a balanced life with their dogs, just as I once did.
​
From freeway dog to adventure dog, Goose and I have built a life exploring the outdoors with my partner, Drew. What once felt like a world crashing down on me is now a world full of endless possibilities and breathtaking views.
