Ashley has been working around dogs her entire adult life, which left her with a passion for training and well behaved dogs. She attended her first obedience class in 2012 and since then has branched out into AKC Conformation, Rally  Obedience, Canine Good Citizen and Field tests and is actively competing in Conformation, Rally and Field tests with her German Shorthaired Pointers. She is a certified Pet Trainer and has been training professionally since 2015. Her main focus is on teaching owners to set consistent boundaries and expectations for behavior, while adding some fun to the training routine.

Traci Knutson is a lifelong Kenai Peninsula resident. Her dog training journey began in 1997 when she received a Boxer puppy for her graduation. She took a basic obedience class with her puppy and she was hooked. Traci began teaching classes in 2003, and she has taught basic obedience, rally, agility, tracking, and conformation. Her breed of choice is Great Danes and she has trained, trialed and titled her girls in multiple AKC venues, including obedience, agility, rally, tracking, conformation and scent work. Traci is excited to be part of The Well Mannered Canine and continuing to become a better trainer and help those in the community learn to communicate effectively with their dogs.

Mary is a dog enthusiast who has earned titles in Rally Obedience and Canine Good Citizen competitions with her Rottweiler, Betty. She is currently expanding her horizons by participating in Conformation shows and Hunt Tests with her GSP, Frank. Mary's primary objective is to establish consistency and a rewarding relationship between dogs and their handlers through training. Mary is currently an Associate Instructor at TWMC and is looking forward to helping people achieve their training goals.

Chris has always loves dogs. She took her first class with her first puppy in 2013, but it wasn't until she started taking classes with her most recent dog, Charlie, that she became interested in dog training. Chris and Charlie are learning to work together and are working towards competing. Chris enjoys helping other owners and their dogs connect with training to help the dog be a well mannered companion.
