My name is Kate . I am a disabled, queer, dog nerd who is obsessed with crochet!
I started my dog training journey volunteering with a Guide Dog organization and I became addicted (in the best way possible) with helping people change their lives through dogs. When I became disabled myself, I had so much information at my finger tips about how a service dog could help me and I want to be able to help other people find these resources when they need them.
Navigating disability and dog training can both be exhausting and I love being able to be a champion for the amazing people going through it!
