Important Questions for Kat
Why should you trust me with your dog?
You should trust me with your dog because I strive to understand each dog’s individual needs, characteristics, and quirks—all the great things that make your pooch unique. It is my personal goal to give your dog an experience he or she will enjoy each time and will come back to your home feeling relaxed, happy, and most of all, loved!
What do you enjoy about working at Active Dog?
I enjoy working at Active Dog because it brings me endless happiness to see your dog enjoying the outdoors just as much as I do. Knowing that I can add excitement to their day while enjoying all that Mother Nature offers out on the trails is pure bliss for me.
What did you do before you worked at Active Dog and why did you decide to work with dogs?
Before I worked at Active Dog, I was an activewear designer in NYC. Although I love art, designing, and fashion since I was a little girl I’ve felt a strong connection to animals of all sizes. Spending my day outside in the countryside in the fresh air with the fabulous creatures we call “Man’s Best Friend” is not just a job to me. It’s therapeutic!

Penny is training ✨for✨ situations instead of ✨in✨ them!
Training your dog can be counterintuitive sometimes. If your dog is exhibiting unwanted behaviors in certain situations, it makes sense to train in those situations. However, we want our dogs to be exposed to triggers in a way that ✨doesn’t✨ cause them to react, which often involves taking them out of the situation.
Penny can be reactive to other dogs on leash in her neighborhood. Today, we took her out of that environment and into a new one! This way, we were able to reinforce the behavior that we like, all while giving her the experience of seeing other dogs ✨without✨ reacting.
Great job, Penny! ❤️🐾 #dogtraining ... See MoreSee Less
