Kate Sherman

Born and raised in the dog friendly city of Austin Texas, Kate has always been what you would call a 'dog person‚'. She is most passionate about strengthening the bond between pet and parent and is a strong believer in spiritual karma, and of course, the Karma Dog Training philosophy. With this knowledge in her heart, and a strong background in Customer Service, Kate truly enjoys speaking to pet parents regarding their concerns, triumphs and goals for their fur babies. Having 2 dogs of her own, both rescues, she believes that true respect, love, and empathy are the best way to handle any case.Kate's love of animals began when she joined the Girl Scouts of Central Texas at the age of 6. During her 12 years as a Girl Scout she worked closely with Texas Parks and Wildlife as well as the Austin Humane Society and Austin Pets Alive. She continued her journey into adulthood and became a Foster partner out of a desire to help dogs who had lived most of their lives in shelters or on the streets. One particular dog came to her having recently been severely injured, and lost a limb as a result. Kate worked with this dog everyday, rehabilitating her and eventually teaching her to walk again. Kate decided on the first day that this dog would not be returned to the shelter and this is the story of her first'Foster Fail'. Peach is now a loving member of Kate's growing family! It was Peach who fostered Kate's passion to start her career over, with Karma Dog Training. Coming from a Retail management background, Kate took her knowledge of training and teamwork, and applied it to her duties as a Karma Dog Admin Director.Kate currently still resides in the beautiful Austin Texas with her husband Leo, her dogs Nox and Peach, her tuxedo cat Alfred.
