My Story

Hi! My name is Kirsten McAllister. I have always had a deep love for animals. Starting out as a dog walker in high school, I quickly learned that I have a passion for working with dogs. As I began to research into the world of dog training, I noticed a miscommunication between owner-dog relationships. I became adamant that I did not want to cause pain or harm in order to have a trained dog. The opportunity to attend the Victoria Stilwell Academy for dog trainers was the perfect fit. This year long school took me through an extensive program that deepened my knowledge in dog training such as why dogs do what they do, using positive reinforcement in training, and more. I am a certified dog trainer through this academy.
