Lilly Staudt

Lilly's love for animals started at a very young age. When her family hired a professional dog trainer to come to their house weekly to train their puppy when she was 12, she ran with the information presented to her and started exercising her new found love for dog training. She began volunteering at rescues- fostering dogs, dog walking, and pet sitting. After receiving her BS in Exercise Science in 2016, she adopted her first dog, Seamus, an American Staffordshire Terrier Mix. He required more skill and training than she was originally equipped for, it was through overcoming this challenge that she renewed her passion for dog training.She had been studying to go to grad school, but put those plans on hold once her real calling became clear. She began shadowing other dog trainers in the Charlotte area, learning through webinars, participating in seminars, and listening to podcasts to further her education. Fast forward 5 years, Lilly became an intern for KeenDog. It's her goal to make strong relationships with her clients to effectively coach them and their dog. Lilly treats every dog with the same love and care as she does her own Seamus and takes pride in seeing every one of her students succeed!CERTIFICATIONS & CONTINUED EDUCATIONAKC Approved CGC EvaluatorWorking Spot at Pat Stuart, of Operant Canine, NePoPo Two Day WorkshopAttended "The Dog Training Workshop" Tour Featuring Larry Krohn, Jay Jack, and Joel Silverman Working Spot at Jay Jack's "Play is the Way" Seminar
