Loren has been passionate about animals since she was a little girl. Her first dog was a pedigreed Australian Shepherd named  Windall's Azure Wish, fondly called "Wish". In raising Wish, she developed a joy in training dogs, and was able to fully pursue her passion shortly after meeting her amazingly supportive husband in 2015 (and marrying him in 2017)! In May 2019, Loren and her husband brought home their pedigreed Siberian Husky called Olgivan Show Scowling Wampus, "Newt", from Russia. Loren spent many hours lovingly raising and training Newt, as well as developing their relationship--they both enjoy participating in conformation and sporting events together. 

In 2020, Loren and her husband founded Velocity K9 to provide personalized, quality lessons for families bringing home their first puppies. In Spring 2021, Loren attended a five-day intensive shadow program at Valor K9 Academy, a well-renowned dog training school. There, she learned valuable new skills and techniques that molded the foundation of her current training programs.

When Loren isn’t training dogs or doing activities with Newt, she spends her time volunteering at the UC Davis California Raptor Center, which provides specialized, life-saving care for injured and orphaned birds of prey.  She also trains educational ambassadors that live on site at the raptor center. In addition, she enjoys hiking the local trails, birdwatching, photography (check out her portfolio here), and trying a variety of delicious cuisines with her husband. Loren is also currently a member of the Yelp Elite Squad.
