Katie fell in love with training dogs after she took her first obedience class with her dog Diesel. He taught her how rewarding positive based training is! Katie believes training is never ending and is a fun way to build the relationship between human and Dog.

Katie has spent 10 years working with dogs at a doggy daycare and helping with training classes. The love for training kept growing and Katie fostered many dogs over the years (foster failing along the way and keeping a couple) helping with issues such as impulse control , obedience, socialization and reactivity. She finally reached out to Heather Logan at Cloverfield to become a certified dog trainer. Heather reached out to one of her local trainers Kelly Boudreau, Katie studied under Kelly receiving her Operant Conditioning Behavior Analysis Level One, Teaching Certificate Level One and Animal Care and Training Certification. Katie is currently working towards her Service Dog Training certification as well! She is also certified in pet first aid.

Katie is also the Manager of our Lady Hammond location and is an excellent resource for any pet owner!
