Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

Kristin is a 2020 Honors graduate of Jean Donaldson's Academy for Dog Trainers.When she was without a dog of her own at home for many years, Kristin got her doggie fix by volunteering at Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) in Walnut Creek, beginning in 2013. She completed ARF's Shelter U program which provided a basic background in positive reinforcement and force-free handling. She then assisted with ARF's Puppy Manners, Basic Manners and Reactive Rover classes. She also spent some time as a Behavior Volunteer at Berkeley Humane.Her primary gig is still as a full-time practicing attorney, but she enjoys using her CTC to teach Puppy 1 classes in Walnut Creek. Kristin is endlessly intrigued with the application of known, scientific principles of animal learning to individual dogs. She recently welcomed her own dog into her family with the addition of Obed, a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Obed has provided Kristin with an education in the real-life challenges of both puppyhood and teenager-dom.
