Kim started her dog journey as a bather before moving onto daycare & finally landing in training. She holds a degree in Animal Behavior from Canisius College in Buffalo, NY. Kim has been training dogs for the last 7 years, mainly focusing on social skills and aggression. More recently she has gotten involved in dog sports including Nosework, BarnHunt, Happy Ratters, FastCAT, Disc, and Agility. Kim and her pack of 4 regularly compete, and when not trialing, she is sharing her knowledge and love for dog sports with her students.

When not competing with her dogs Kim enjoys hiking, geocaching & cheering on the Buffalo Bandits!
