Katie has been part of OLK9 Detroit since 2018. She prides herself in helping dog owners achieve a better relationship with their canine companions. Katie grew up showing 4H and pursued her passion for animals at Michigan State University, where she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science! After college, she began working at a dog daycare and volunteering for various rescues and shelters. She has successfully fostered and adopted out over 80 dogs! This would not be possible without the help of her husband, Shane, and her pack of rescue dogs, Nova (GSD), Seager (Boxer), Belly (Pug/Dachshund), Bruce (Giant Schnauzer), and Posey (Belgian Malinois). She also dabbles in dog sports, including dock diving, frisbee, and fast cat. Dog training has been the most fulfilling lifestyle! She enjoys working with small dogs, XL dogs, fluffy dogs, and naughty dogs. Whatever the dog is, she is happy to help you achieve your goals and work towards making your dog the best version of itself! It’s never too late to start.Outside of training, her hobbies include pet photography, volleyball, kayaking, and spending time with her family and pups.
