Dog Trainer – Dr K

Hi! I am Dr. K (Kathryn), professional dog trainer, consultant and educator for dogs and their humans. Our dog training methods result from extensive dog training experience intertwined with my advanced evolutionary biology training.

Dog Training Introduction

My initial dog training introduction was as a seasonal keeper at Brookfield Children’s Zoo near Chicago. I literally had my dream job in college! Along with dogs, I worked with parrots, macaws, horses, farm animals, Illinois native wildlife and birds of prey. Work days included training dogs and participating in educational demonstrations. Our dog training demonstrations included obedience, tracking, retrieving, sheep herding, agility and service work.

From then on, trained dogs are constant companions and dog training a natural part of my everyday life. I was hooked and wanted to learn as much as possible about puppy dogs and dog training. My passion for training dogs led to amazing educational opportunities with trainers in Illinois, Georgia and North Carolina. An educational highlight training with top dog obedience trainer in the country (Nancy Patton & Bomber – Atlanta’s Dogwood Obedience Group).

Dog Training Method

THE DOG’S PERSPECTIVE uses unique, innovative methods based on decades of teaching and dog training experience plus extensive knowledge of dog biology. My education includes a masters & doctorate in Evolutionary Biology.

We love training dogs of all types, from young puppies to senior dogs. And, we specialize with dog anxiety. Our comfy, cozy residential board and train program is a must for for overcoming dog anxiety. 

Training Programs

The American Kennel Club (AKC) offers Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program. As an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator, our training programs help dogs become great family members and canine good citizens, with or without the official certificate. Therapy dogs are required to have CGC skills and the CGC certification.

Fundamental to our active lifestyle, we enjoy dog walks, runs and bide rides in the mountainous terrain of WNC. My dogs have trialed in obedience, tracking and dock diving. Dogs are my constant traveling companions, including to the grocery store.
