Meet Our Trainers
KATIE, dIRECTOR OF TRAINING
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.
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.
