About Nerdy K9 Academy

Training and behavior help in Sioux Falls

Nerdy K9 Academy in Sioux Falls was started by Missy to help dogs and their families live their best lives. She is a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA) and a certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, and says she has been training dogs for well over 15 years. Her path began in K9 search and rescue and later led into animal welfare, working with fearful, abused and neglected dogs. Those dogs, she says, are the reason she started the company, and her passion is using training to save their lives.
