Hi, I'm Quinlan! I grew up training working dogs, and I'm still doing it to this day. I specialize in obedience, service dogs, and behavioral rehab. I teach in-home in NE IL, and virtual lessons anywhere!

This is my family (I'm the Kraken fan); hiring me supports them, not a CEO! #ShopSmall
A flyer detailing my services: obedience training, behavior modification, and service dog training. It highlights my thirty years of experience, high quality care and support, and that I offer lessons in-home and virtually. My contact info is at the bottom, K9Kaliber.com and 847-346-6414, along with the disability pride and progress pride flags. A photo of me and my partner in front of our hockey teams' flags, done up in a Pride flag design instead of a plain background. We're each wearing the jerseys for our teams, as well, the Seattle Kraken for me and St. Louis Blues for him. Rivet, a medium size orange and black dog with upright ears. She's sitting in portrait to the camera, and has her hoodie string in her mouth, not chewing, just holding it. Misneach, pronounced mish-knock, is a Chocolate Lab. She's sitting looking at the camera, mouth open and panting contentedly, in the early autumn leaves in the woods.

Hey, while you're maybe eyeballing indie shops and services to support, a note to say that I am an independent, full-time, affordable, professional dog trainer with 30+yrs experience. I teach in-person and virtually, and specialize in obedience, behavioral rehab, and service dogs.

God: make this one lactose intolerant.
Angels: seems mean, but alright.
God: now spawn him in the American Midwest.
Angels: ...you okay, boss?

Boyfriend is heading down to see his family on Thanksgiving. I'll be home smoking weed, playing my music too loud, and playing the 1990 hit video game Bonk on my TurboGrafx.

There are, in fact, upsides to your family being dead ✨

This year has, ahem, SUCKED. I needed to get tf off social media for a while, find my focus. I'm praying that 2026 is a little more gentle, but I don't know. What I do know is I don't want to keep struggling in my own skull, we're social animals and we need community.

So, sorry, but I'm back.
