Katrina "Kat" Bulgrien: Owner and Dog Trainer
A lover of all things animal related, I love to share that passions with others. The most rewarding feeling is seeing people- friends, family and clients- enjoying their pets. Dog training is my passion, but I am happy doing anything with animals!Â
I have been training dogs professionally since January of 2023, previously mentoring under Jillian of Riverfront Dog Training since May 2021. Prior to dog training, I have worked, and still work, as a veterinary technician assistant and veterinary technician - totaling 6 years. I have also take numerous courses on dog training in order to better serve clients and set dogs up for success. My main goal in dog training is to help facilitate a healthy, working and loving relationship between you and your dog. I practice relationship-based training, helping you to think like your dog, in order to set your pup up for success. As a member of the International Association for Canine Professionals (IACP), I am committed to furthering my dog training education each year. I have a poodle of my own, Pilot and a german shepherd mix, Bilbo who are my helpers with dog training, and almost always have a foster dog and service dogs in training in my care at the same time. Pilot is a fully trained service dog, and Bilbo is a therapy dog in trainig.
Aside from dog training, I also offer pet sitting of multiple forms. I have been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since elementary school and professionally since May of 2020. As a pet sitter, I treat your pets as if they were my own. I strive to make your pets as comfortable with me as they can be, so that you don't have to worry as much about them while you're away.
