ABOUT US

Primed K9 was founded on a deep respect for the bond between dogs and humans, and a relentless drive to bring out the best in both.

Julio Doria, the founder and owner of Primed K9 Dog Training, LLC, grew up in Naples, Florida. He played football and baseball for 12 years.

After graduating high school, Julio served in the United States Army. Following four years of service, he transitioned into aviation and became a federally licensed aircraft mechanic.

During his time in aviation, Julio’s interest in dog training quickly grew. He spent his free hours learning, practicing, and helping owners with their dogs whenever possible. Over time, he realized that working with dogs gave him a level of fulfillment and purpose that aviation couldn’t match. That realization led him to leave aircraft maintenance and pursue dog training full-time.

Today, Julio is a full-time dog trainer, a certified Protection Sports Association decoy and a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals.
