Ted Madsen

Owner Master Trainer

With over 15 years of experience working with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I specialize in behavior modification, off-leash control, and advanced training for emotional support and psychiatric service dogs. I’ve built a reputation for tackling the tough cases—dogs with reactivity, aggression, anxiety, or poor recall—and helping their owners achieve lasting, real-world results.

As the co-founder of America’s K-9 Caring Angels, I’ve worked with everyone from first-time pet owners to veterans and first responders. Before launching our for-profit training business, I played a key role in building our nonprofit (founded by my wonderful wife Sonny Madsen), which places psychiatric service dogs with veterans and facility dogs with fire and police departments across the country.

My approach is practical, structured, and rooted in communication. I don’t just train dogs—I teach owners how to lead with confidence and build a relationship that works everywhere: at home, in public, and off leash.
