With over a decade of hands-on experience, Asher Salem leads Forged K9 Solutions with a passion for helping people build lasting bonds with their dogs. Asher takes a balanced, motivational approach that focuses on communication, structure, and real-world results, customized to each
dog and home.

Her background spans service dog training, competitive obedience, and behavioral rehabilitation. She is an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, a graduate and valedictorian of her class at a nationally recognized training school, and has personally competed in AKC Rally with her own dogs. Her experience brings not just technical skill, but a deep nderstanding of how to coach both dogs and owners toward lasting success.

Asher’s calm, clear teaching style makes her especially effective with families, first-time dog owners, and those dealing with reactivity or past training challenges. She believes that one method does not fit all, and her mission is simple—build trust, find motivation, and do what’s best for each individual dog.

Atreides, her Belgian Malinois and demo dog, is the prodigy of her first service dog, Shiva. Together, they continue to represent what’s possible with dedication, clarity, and heart.
