Mission
Our goal at K9 Trekkers is for you to have a happy, well-adjusted pet by giving them the exercise and positive experiences they deserve and need.
Philosophy
“The walk is an extremely important ritual for a dog. It needs to take place a minimum of twice a day, for at least 30 to 45 minutes each time, so that both the dog's mind and its body are given a workout.”
- Cesar Millan

About Lisa Filpi
My love of animals began years ago when I used to visit my Grandfather on his farm in Wisconsin. I'd spend hours with the kittens, dogs, horses and cows, roaming the landscape and the beautiful fields. Growing up with animals gave me the informal training I needed to understand their behaviors and how to best care for them whether on a farm or in a domestic world.
More recently, I became a proud parent of a Golden Retriever puppy and I found myself combing the trails of Griffith Park every day with her. As we roamed, I thought about all the unfortunate dogs who don't get the daily exercise and attention they need. The following quote from Cesar Millan provided me with the inspiration to launch K9T:
“The walk is an extremely important ritual for a dog. It needs to take place a minimum of twice a day, for at least 30-45 minutes each time, so that both the dog's mind and it's body are given a workout.”
