All in the Family
Over the past 13 years, Kate’s focus has been largely on working with reactive and fearful dogs, but since becoming pregnant in 2017, her focus has shifted more toward family training. She has combined her decade of dog training experience with her 16 years of child care experience (assisting in her mother’s business) and studied to become a Licensed Family Paws Parent Educator and a member of The Family Dog® Private Training Program. Kate is proudly neurodiverse and loves to help families, including those with unique needs, find a healthy dynamic between all family members (two-legged and four). Kate’s own family consists of her ever-supportive husband Richard, her darling son Rico, and her two silly dogs: June Bug (Corgi/Dachshund) and Sirius Black (Swedish Vallhund).
Despite focusing on families, Kate still works with reactivity and fear issues, using Behavior Adjustment Training and similar methodologies to create healthy coping mechanisms and rework relationships. In addition to training dogs, Kate even has some experience training Miniature Potbellied Pigs and has volunteered with Southern California Association for Miniature Potbellied Pigs (SCAMPP)!
