Who we are
At Solaris K9’s, we are passionate about helping dogs and their humans build strong, trusting partnerships through science, adventure, and passion.
My name is Quinn MacNeil , and I’m the founder, trainer, and driving force behind Solaris K9 Training . From the moment I could walk, I was drawn to animals—especially dogs and horses. What started as a childhood love quickly grew into a lifelong passion for understanding canine behavior and helping dogs live their best lives alongside their families.
I am a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College, graduating with honors, and have deepened my expertise through apprenticeships with trainers and behaviorists. I’ve also spent time volunteering with the Humane Society, where I gained hands-on experience working with a wide range of dogs, from playful puppies to those overcoming fear and trauma.
Behavior modification and service dog training are at the heart of what I do. I believe that every training plan should be grounded in the latest behavioral science, customized to each individual dog, and delivered with compassion and creativity.
Whether helping a reactive dog find calm, guiding a service dog team through public access training, or coaching owners on building strong foundations, my mission is always the same: to help you and your dog thrive together—in everyday life and on every adventure.
At Solaris K9’s, training isn’t just about teaching skills; it’s about building communication, trust, and confidence. We're here to support you through every step of your journey with modern, science-based methods and a true love for dogs and the incredible bonds they share with us.
