Carrie McElvogue is the owner and trainer of Bravo K-9, which was started in 2009. Her passion for animals began at a very young age when dogs truly were her very best friend. She graduated from college with a BS in Animal Science and initially worked in the horse industry.

 

Dogs were always her love and hobby, and they eventually overtook her career horses. Carrie spent years competing with her dogs in a protection sport called Schutzhund, participating in local, regional and national level competitions. She and her first German Shepherd qualified for the USA Nationals twice. Since then, she has titled Rottweilers, Belgian Malinois, and German Shepherds for BHs and IPO titles. Agility, dock diving and herding are other dog hobbies she enjoys.
