Helix K9
About Us
Hi! My name is Zoë Reed. I first entered the world of dog training as a client when I sought help dealing with my own dog’s behavioral issues. Since then, I have become passionate about helping dog owners learn how to create a solid communication system in order to coexist with their pets and live a more fulfilling life together!
Over the past 4 years I have worked under multiple different trainers and have attended various seminars to further my education and skillset. I have experience with obedience, behavior modification, and trick training. I am also experienced in helping dogs build their social skills through structured socialization groups. I am a certified AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator. While my foundation is in pet dog training, I am very interested in the world of dog sports and am actively learning to increase my capabilities. We currently compete in sports such as conformation, scent work, barn hunt, FastCAT, CAT and rally/obedience with our personal dogs.
I love helping owners see their dog’s potential and become excited about working with them and taking their relationship to the next level!

About Our Name
Our name is inspired by the concept that this business
is a symbol of growth, perseverance, and new beginnings for us as well as for our future clients and their dogs. The helix is a beautiful representation of resilience that manifests itself both in our natural and manmade world:
“The helix shape (or spiral) is a symbol of resilience. It is found throughout nature. We find the helix in galaxies and weather patterns and in every living organism’s DNA. Sunflowers, vine tendrils, ferns, the shells of nautilus and snails, seahorses, the horns of antelopes and sheep, even our fingerprints all have the helix as their underlying structure. Many plants become a helix in order to pass through environmental challenges and explore more of their environment.
Because of its stability and strength, the helix is foundational to sacred architecture throughout the world from Precolumbian to Irish Neolothic Sites to churches and mosques. The helix has withstood the test of time, religion, biological and cultural influences. It is a symbol of evolution, growth and resilience."

Our hope is to bring these values to you and your dog through our training programs! We can't wait to get started!
