Skinner
The Office Tortoise
Originally from Dayton, Ohio, Calvin knew from a young age that he wanted to work with dogs. He began his career at a daycare and boarding facility, where he spent four years gaining hands-on experience as a staff trainer working with dogs of all breeds and temperaments.
He shares life with two dogs: Spencer (also known as Spencer Shay, Spencey, or Spence-a-wence), a German Shorthaired Pointer, and Winona (Winnie, Winnie Bean, or Win Win), a German Shepherd mix.
Calvin actively participates in dog sports including agility, dock diving, and barn hunt with Spencer, bringing that experience into a practical, engaging training style. Outside of training, he enjoys hiking new trails with his dogs, trying new foods and restaurants, and exploring new places with his partner, Avery. His goal is to make every training session fun and engaging for both handlers and their dogs, while encouraging people to find outlets that allow dogs to truly be dogs- running, sniffing, rolling around and roaming!
Kaitlyn has been training dogs since 2019, with a passion for dog sports, clear communication, and useful marker words that translate to real-life success. In her downtime, she loves hiking with her personal dogs and shares her home with 6 dogs and 3 cats who keep her learning every day.
Heather is a life-long animal lover and has been privately and professionally training dogs since 2010 During her time as a dog trainer and shelter volunteer she has found herself loving with all breeds and personalities of dogs, but has always gravitated towards nervous, anxious, and fear-aggressive dogs. This often comes in the form of misunderstood small breeds. Over her tenure in animal care, she has fostered and worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes. In addition to her two Animal Science degrees, she has attended CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, and is an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator.
Heather enthusiastically utilizes force-free training practices to teach owners to train their dogs to become the best versions of themselves. Heather lives with her husband, three chihuahuas, an elderly beagle, and foster animals.
Evan has always surrounded himself with animals and has worked with them as a trainer and a groomer. He has competed in obedience and agility with his own dogs and is currently attending CATCH academy. Evan owns two Pomeranians, a cat (who’s also clicker trained!), three snakes, a gecko and a tarantula. In his spare time, Evan enjoys music, gaming and exploring the outdoors.

Dani has grown up around dogs since childhood. She volunteered at the local humane society in high school. And by college, she started fostering dogs. She has had a revolving door of foster dogs coming and going ever since then. She worked at a pet boarding/grooming/daycare facility for 8 years where she worked with the dogs and the customers. Dani shares her home with her husband Jacob and their three dogs named Brian, Rumor, and Echo. Dani also has one cat, named Chloe, and numerous foster dogs. In her free time, Dani enjoys watching movies on Netflix and exploring new trails with her dogs.
Sara has over 18 years working in the veterinary field, both in the office and with animals. She and her family share their home with a dog and a cat, Franny and Cannoli, and many foster bunnies.
From childhood, Taylor exhibited a passion for dogs. She grew up in Colorado taking her own dogs to obedience classes. In 2016 she decided to begin her journey as a professional, positive reinforcement-based trainer. Before moving to Ohio, Taylor spent two years training service dogs for veterans and children with disabilities. She has a passion for “difficult” dog breeds and senior dogs. In her spare time, Taylor enjoys exploring hiking trails with her dogs.
