Andrea Hansen

Owner and Training Director

"I joined Extreme K-9 in 2018 and hopped right into one of Behesha Doan's Academies. From that moment, I knew this was it. Growing up, I always had an affinity for animals, having many of my own, volunteering at shelters and barns, I even chose dog tricks as the topic for a sixth-grade presentation assignment. After graduating college in 2016 with a degree in Equine Science (horses), I entered the canine world and never looked back.

The most rewarding part of my job is not just getting to work with amazing people and dogs but witnessing the transformation in their relationships. I absolutely love getting to help both humans and canines live more harmonious lives together."

Professional Member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP) since 2024
