Our Pet Trainers
Kat Ellerd
Kat has a degree in business management, but her passion has always been the Human Animal Bond, and that has guided her path as she has worked in kennel settings, certified in dog first aid and CPR, volunteered in Animal Assisted Therapy, managed and led large dog playgroups, and pursued an apprenticeship in Canine Behavior and membership in The Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT). Now Kat brings that skill set and passion to setting dogs and their families on the path to success.
