About A Dog
My name is Kate, I’m a force-free, Fear Free Certified trainer with over 15 years of professional experience and a deep commitment to science-backed, ethical training. I attended the Karen Pryor Academy and am an AKC CGC Certified Evaluator. I regularly pursue continuing education to stay aligned with the most current standards of practice. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, shaped both by my professional experience and my own lived understanding of PTSD. I believe behavior changes best when dogs feel safe, supported, and understood, and my training focuses on confidence, emotional regulation, and meeting the needs of the whole dog.
Confidence Grows Here

The Different Dog program supports reactive dogs using trauma informed training to build calm and confidence around triggers through enrichment, emotional regulation, and real-world skills.
Our Ready, Set, Grow Puppy Training program builds confident, well adjusted puppies through gentle, science-backed foundations and provides families with support and reassurance through all of puppy-hoods ups and downs.
