Our Trainers

KATIE, CDBC, CPDT-KA, CCFT, CTDI

We are thrilled to announce the return of dog trainer Katie Clark as our Director of Training! Katie joined PLD in 2016 and quickly became an integral part of the PLD management team over the next 5 years. Katie has done a little bit of everything at Peace Love Dogs.

She is actively involved in creating and growing training programs, mentors trainers, teaches group classes, conducts private lessons, and befriends every dog she meets. If you were around during those years, we have no doubt both you and your dog remember Katie!

Coach Katie’s favorite thing to do in the world is teach. She has over 10 years of experience as an animal trainer, and has worked professionally with dogs, cats, birds, fish, pigs, dolphins, sea lions, and humans!

Her professional certifications include Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC), Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), Certified Canine Fitness Trainer (CCFT), Certified Trick Dog Instructor (CTDI), and is an American Kennel Club CGC & Trick Dog Evaluator.

GREG, CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA, CSCC Training Manager

Greg began his career working with dogs in 2011 as a kennel tech and daycare handler. In 2015, he transitioned into a dog training role and has never looked back. He joined Peace Love Dogs in 2017 and has dedicated himself to progressively advancing his career and industry knowledge, while simultaneously making a positive difference in the lives of hundreds of clients and their dogs!

While Greg loves all training, he has a passion for canine behavior and canine fitness, being certified in both. Clients often compliment him on his patience and calm energy around dogs and we agree!

When not training dogs and working with clients, Greg enjoys hiking, training, and hanging out with his senior dogs, working out and spending time with family and friends. Greg also dedicates a great deal of time to his continuing education with modern dog training practices.

Stewart’s passion for dog training is reflected in his everyday interaction with the dogs, as well as the results he so effortlessly achieves with each dog.

When he’s not busy helping dogs become their best version, Stewart enjoys playing the guitar and video games or catching up on his favorite shows with his fiancé.

WELCOME TO PEACE LOVE DOGS.

Everything we do is rooted in positivity — and backed by research.

So whether we’re working with your dog for the first time, welcoming them back for boarding, or simply treating them to a fresh haircut, we’re proud to welcome all who walk in our door.

Regular Exercise

Dogs have plenty of energy. Let them run outside or romp with friends and they’re more likely to respond to training—and less likely to get into trouble at home.

Consistent Communication

If you have a dog, you talk to your dog. But it takes training for them to truly understand our expectations and become a happy, well-mannered companion.

Mental Stimulation

Though most household pets don’t guard sheep or pull sleds, each breed still has goal-oriented instincts. Mental exercises keep them entertained and engaged.

Our Facility

Though our gallery gives a good overview of our space, we prefer the grand tour. Stop by during business hours and we’ll happily show you around.
