About Us

Empowered K9 is a Wangaratta based dog daycare and training business run by nationally qualified dog trainer, Michelle Cassidy, servicing north-east Victoria.

We are committed to providing owners with the skills and knowledge required to ensure their dog gets to live their best life. Our dog daycare extends that mission by offering a safe, structured play environment where dogs can socialise, exercise, and thrive under attentive supervision.

Michelle developed a love for dogs from a very young age and has had numerous dogs throughout her life. Her passion for training stems from the amazing bond between her father and his German wire haired pointer. As a child she thought dogs like this were an exception but later learnt that they don’t have to be.

With extensive experience and a passion for developing motivation and handler engagement, Michelle has the skills and knowledge to help you build a strong communication system and the relationship with your dog you have always dreamed of.

At Empowered K9, our commitment to excellence goes beyond qualifications and we view education as a lifelong journey.

We foster a culture of continuous improvement, where learning never stops and every challenge is seen as an opportunity to grow.

The dog training industry is constantly evolving and we are dedicated to staying informed and up to date with the latest dog training concepts and techniques. Regular attendance at workshops and seminars held by both local and international experts, ensures we bring you top-quality care and service.
