About Me
Grounded in science, built on connection- training and consulting that supports dogs, their people, and a better life together.

Hi, I'm Kat- Certified dog trainer, consultant, and lifestyle coach for dogs and their people.
What excites me most isn't just teaching sit or stay, but helping dog guardians find more ease, connection and joy in daily life with their dogs. I believe the foundation of all training is connection, and that a well lived life together matters more than perfection.
My work is rooted in science based learning theory, combined with practical coaching for owners, physical wellness, and enrichment strategies. I want dogs to feel understood, and people to feel supported, because when both sides thrive, everything else falls into place.
Training Journeys: Puppies, Behavior, & Wellness.
Every dog has a story, and every family has a goal. From shy rescues learning confidence to energetic puppies building foundations, these are some of the wonderful dogs I’ve had the privilege to support through training, enrichment, and wellness work. Each journey is unique, but the heart of it all is connection and progress — helping dogs and their people thrive together.
George, my rescue Vizsla mix, was the dog who started me on this journey. Helping him through leash reactivity and cancer taught me the heart of training: connection, compassion, and support.
