Danielle Scott

Owner & Founder

Danielle began her journey in 2014 when she started a job at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in her hometown of San Antonio, Texas. Although she possessed a love for animals at a young age, it wasn't until then that she realized she wanted to make a career out of working with dogs.

Now, after years of invaluable training experiences in both pet dogs and working dogs, Danielle is excited to empower owners and help them build stronger relationships with their furry companions.

Training

Danielle joined the United States Air Force with the goal of becoming a military working dog handler.

Danielle made her dream come true when she graduated from the military working dog handler's course. She and her military canines specialized in odor detection, protection work, and advanced obedience. Together they have deployed and trainedoversees. Working with these incredible dogs for four years has helped her better understand the relationship and connection between dogs and humans.

She has since relocated to Clinton, Maryland and is currently training family dogs full time with the goal of showing owners how much better life can be alongside a well-trained pup.

The Canya K9 Pack

In her free time, Danielle loves exploring the DMV area with her own pack of six: Daisy (pictured), a gentle 9-year-old mixed breed; Anubis (pictured), a high-drive 3-year-old Belgian Malinois; BBoudine (pictured), her loyal 10-year-old retired military working dog; Bindi, a spirited 1-year-old lab mix rescue; and her husband’s two retired military working dogs—AAslan, a steadfast Dutch Shepherd, and Fules, a fearless Belgian Malinois.

Danielle founded Canya K9 to share her passion and deep expertise with dog owners ready to learn and grow alongside their pups. Through private and specialized training sessions, she empowers pet parents to build strong, lasting bonds with their dogs based on trust, communication, and mutual respect.
