MEET THE VOICES BEHIND THE BLOG

Every article on the KeenDog blog is written by real trainers and members of our team - the same people coaching dogs in Charlotte and Fort Mill every day. Here's who's behind the advice, and what they specialize in.

KATRINA

Co Founder, Owner, and Head Trainer

As KeenDog's owner and head trainer, Katrina loves training dogs and the humans who own them. She believes training isn’t just about teaching dogs to sit, go to place and come when called... it's about developing rich, rewarding, life long relationships. Training is about being a leader, a coach, an advocate and a bestie for your dog. Katrina's mission is to teach dog owners how to develop and work on all of these rotating roles. 

 

EMILY

Office Manager

Like many dog trainers, Emily discovered her love of training after adopting a difficult rescue dog and winding up in over her head. She employed the help of KeenDog to set her dog up for success, and quickly fell in love with training. Craving more, Emily decided to leave the corporate world and join our team as a trainer. Now based out of Denver, CO, Emily works remotely as our office manager. She specializes in logistics, communications, scheduling, online education, and more.
