About
Hi! My name is Kaitlyn, and I’ve been training dogs since 2018. I am currently getting my bachelors in Animal Behavior and Biology. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work under two incredible mentors, learning both positive reinforcement and choice-based training methods.
I’m passionate about continuing my education and regularly attend dog training seminars and conferences to stay up to date with the latest science-based practices.
I’m also an AKC-certified evaluator, which means I can help your pup earn titles like Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog, and S.T.A.R. Puppy. Whether you're looking for foundational manners, fun tricks, or stronger communication with your dog, I’d love to help you build a lasting bond.
My Dog
Athena is my 7-year-old tri-colored Rough Collie and the heart of everything I do. She's earned titles through AKC, UKI, and CPE, including Canine Good Citizen Advanced, Trick Dog Elite Performer, Novice Agility, and Novice Standard Agility.
In October 2020, Athena and I entered the AKC National Trick Dog Competition and proudly took home #1 Collie and Outstanding Handler!
Beyond the ribbons and titles, Athena is also my trained service dog, helping me navigate life with disabilities. She’s not just my teammate — she’s my best friend, constant companion, and the inspiration behind my passion for training and strengthening the human-canine bond.
