Originally from Puerto Rico, my journey with dogs began in 2009 with Marcela, my Wire Fox Terrier.

Carlos Hernandez:

Master K9 Trainer, Entrepreneur, and Passionate Dog Advocate

Marcela wasn’t just a pet; she became a therapy dog, visiting schools, nursing homes, and libraries, spreading joy and comfort. This experience ignited my passion for dog training and welfare.


For 15 years, I worked in the mortgage industry, but in 2015, life took a turn. After losing my job as a mortgage executive, I embraced my calling and founded Canino Walker. This venture was more than a business; it was a dedication to enhancing the bond between dogs and their owners.


In 2017, I took a significant step in my career by attending the School for Dog Trainers in Harmony, NC, where I became a certified Master K9 Trainer. This certification was a gateway to joining Highland Canine Training as a service dog trainer. Here, I have trained over 100 dogs and placed 38 with their forever families, a milestone that fills me with immense pride.


2022 marked a new chapter with the opening of Canino Dog Training in Statesville, NC. While continuing my work with Highland Canine as an independent contractor, Canino Dog Training allows me to offer a broader range of services including boarding, daycare, and pet training.


Today, I share my life with three wonderful dogs: Marcela, my steadfast companion; Leo, a spirited Standard Poodle; and Frankie, a Bernedoodle and certified therapy dog. Each of them has taught me invaluable lessons about patience, understanding, and the unspoken bond we share with our canine friends.



Through Canino Dog Training, I strive to bring these lessons to more families, fostering deeper connections between humans and their canine companions.
