ANDRE HILL
LEAD TRAINER
Andre brings more than 18 years of dog training experience to K371, but his approach starts with something even more important: respect. After serving as a canine explosive detection handler in the U.S. Marine Corps, he transitioned from military service to professional dog training with one mission—helping everyday families build calm, structured relationships with their dogs.
​
Andre specializes in high-drive working dogs and behavior modification for dogs with anxiety, reactivity, or aggression. His background gives him a unique ability to read dogs quickly and guide them through challenges with clarity and confidence.
​
What sets Andre apart isn’t just his skill—it’s his patience. Every dog is different, and he adapts his methods to fit the needs of each pup and each family. Whether your dog needs leash work, obedience, or a full behavioral reset, Andre has the tools and insight to help you both succeed.
​
At home or in training, he believes the best results come from structure, trust, and consistency.
CARLA HILL
OPERATIONS MANAGER / TRAINER
Carla wears many hats at K371—trainer, coordinator, handler, and guide—but at her core, she’s a lifelong animal advocate. With experience in the U.S. Army as a Veterinary Technician and a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, Carla brings both technical knowledge and strategic thinking to the team.
​
She helps oversee daily operations, supports client communications, and plays an active role in training programs, especially when it comes to teaching owners how to reinforce good habits at home.
​
Carla is passionate about creating smooth transitions between training and real life. She ensures every dog leaves not just with better behavior, but with a family who understands how to lead with confidence.
​
Her calm presence and thoughtful coaching style help even the most overwhelmed dog parents feel supported and capable. She’s there every step of the way—behind the scenes and in the training room—making sure every detail is aligned with the dog’s success.
​
She believes every dog deserves a second chance—and every owner deserves clear guidance.
TRINITY HILL
CANINE ASSISTANT
Trinity isn’t just part of the K371 team—she’s family. This 5-year-old American Bully has been with Andre and Carla since she was eight weeks old. Today, she’s a fully trained assistant who plays a key role in helping other dogs build confidence and improve their social skills.
​
Trained in advanced obedience and off-leash control, Trinity works with new dogs to model calm, stable behavior. She helps demonstrate commands, provides safe socialization experiences, and supports behavioral rehabilitation work for dogs with reactivity, fear, or aggression.
​
Her steady, grounded presence gives nervous or excitable dogs a calm example to follow. She's especially helpful with dogs working on environmental training, leash behavior, or group exposure in public spaces.
​
Trinity isn’t just a helper—she’s a reminder of what’s possible when a dog is raised with the right structure and love. Whether she’s showing new pups how to behave or just offering quiet support, she’s an essential part of what makes K371 training so effective.
