Gina Lopez

Owner and founder of PacwestK9, who, for over 15 years, has been successfully working with dogs.

Her journey began in San Jose, CA, where she owned and operated Paws for Paws Daycare—Welcoming all breeds and gaining a reputation by deviating from breed stereotypes.

Shortly after, she developed a more profound passion for understanding canine behavior and committed to studying ethology. Consequently, her career flourished.

Gina incorporates extensive and diverse knowledge in basic to advanced obedience, behavior modification, bite building, and personal protection. Furthermore, she integrates old and modern techniques, applied ethology and psychology to create the optimum environment to facilitate education for any breed.

Training with PacwestK9 offers a balanced approach channeled by drive and motivation to ensure commands are performed precisely and executed reliably.
