Our Journey

Lilyanna Quinn, founder of Quinn’s K-9 Services, grew up in North Carolina immersed in the world of animal training—splitting her time between horse barns and working dogs. As a former competitive hunter-jumper rider, Lilyanna developed a deep understanding of communication, trust, and discipline between human and animal, eventually transitioning her passion toward dogs.

Her training philosophy is rooted in soul-based dog training—a highly personalized approach that recognizes each dog as an individual with unique needs, drives, and emotional makeup. From foundational puppy training to advanced sport work and personal protection, Lilyanna tailors her methods to suit both the dog and their handler, ensuring long-lasting, balanced relationships.

Quinn’s K-9 Services also has a strong rescue component, dedicated to giving at-risk dogs a second chance. Whether pulled from shelters, euthanasia lists, or surrendered by owners, these dogs are rehabilitated and given the opportunity to start fresh with compassionate, experienced guidance.

Lilyanna specializes in behavior modification and works with dogs of all backgrounds and challenges—turning struggle into success with empathy, structure, and a deep respect for the canine spirit.

Client Testimonials

Paige

Client - Dog Owner

"I will never be able to put into words how grateful I am for Lilyanna! I had tried a few trainers before but no one could help Hunter’s reactivity. Everyone’s advice was to just avoid triggers. I dreaded leaving the house - seeing dogs, people, anything with wheels, the list goes on for Hunter’s triggers to bark and lunge. I had to avoid peak hours and common areas. A neighbor recommend Lilyanna who cared for Hunter like he was her own. Despite hurricanes and needing extra time, she made sure he was truly ready to come home. Everyone in my life has noticed his change in confidence and demeanor. We get compliments in restaurants and elevators on how well behaved he is. We’ve had dogs bark and lunge at us and Hunter walks right past with no issues. Hunter and I have a better relationship and we owe it all to Lilyanna. Thank you!" - FaceBook Review
