About Us

Virginia Otte is the owner and lead trainer at Outland K9. Growing up she always had a passion for animals of all sizes. After apprenticing with local trainers and taking Dick Staal online courses, she made her way to Tarheel Canine School for Dog Trainers to further her education and learn about the working dog world. Currently she has Etta the GSD, Tikka the ACD, and Bean (Barbarian) the Swedish Vallhund.
