Vegas K9 Adventures was founded in 2010 with a simple belief:
Dogs thrive when they are allowed to be dogs — social, curious, athletic, and connected to nature.
What began as a small gathering of friends’ dogs forming a joyful pack quickly evolved into a boutique canine care program trusted by discerning dog guardians throughout Las Vegas.
Family. Integrity. Nature. Balance. Leadership.
We bring together behavioral expertise, curated pack socialization, and instinct-driven adventure to create dogs who are emotionally grounded and a joy to live with.
Our approach is rooted in:
We believe that emotional well-being is the foundation of a well-mannered companion dog.
Led by a Lifetime of Experience
VK9A was created by Melanie Leary, whose connection to animals began on a farm in Washington State, surrounded by Arabian horses, Labradors, and nature’s daily lessons in responsibility and intuition.
Her career in advertising and marketing refined her strategic mindset and leadership — qualities she later brought into the creation of VK9A’s premium, holistic model of canine care.
Under Melanie’s guidance, VK9A has become a place where dogs thrive through structure, adventure, and genuine belonging.
We exist to create companion dogs who succeed in life and in the home — calm, confident, emotionally balanced, and deeply fulfilled.
Your dog becomes part of our family.
Your trust becomes part of our responsibility.
