About Coach Karli

---

Karli Mueller is a canine behavioral rehabilitation specialist who collaborates closely with breeders, veterinarians, and rescues to help dogs and their owners build calmer, clearer, and more connected lives. Her work is grounded in understanding each dog as an individual and meeting them where they are, supporting their emotional wellness, and guiding them toward confidence and stability. Karli’s philosophy emphasizes that meaningful behavioral change is achieved through trust, clarity, and consistent communication between dog and handler.  

In addition to her rehabilitation work, Karli is a second-generation breeder of Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, with a particular focus on preserving and developing high-quality Irish import lines. This long-standing background in purposeful breeding informs her deep understanding of early development, temperament, and genetic influence.  Karli is also the creator of Developing Dogs With a Purpose, a structured raising program established in 2012 to give dogs a strong foundation from the very start. The program supports breeders in raising thoughtful, emotionally balanced, and purpose-driven dogs through intentional guidance, early conditioning, and practical daily structure. Whether a dog is destined for performance sports, therapy work, or a stable family life, the program fosters resilience, understanding, and long-term success.  

Karli’s approach with clients centers on education and empowerment. She helps owners understand their dog’s behavior on a deeper level and equips them with practical, applicable tools for everyday life. Through clear coaching, individualized behavior plans, and a patient, relationship-focused process, she supports teams in developing confident, capable partnerships built on purpose, trust, and connection.
