Meet Your Instructors

Kate Woods (they/them)

You might have heard of science-based dog training, but have you ever really done it? With my skills in experimental research and my deep interest in dog behaviour, my training approach is truly informed by the scientific method. 

If there's one thing I learned in geology school, it's that a hammer is far from our only tool. Now, as a dog trainer, I almost never use a hammer at all.

OakSahara Supernatural Delight "Rory" 

TKN VHMA VHMP VSWB

Miss Aurora the (coated) American Hairless Terrier is the resident mischief maker. If ever she goes missing, I'll check the sunniest places first. At under a year old, Rory's just starting to learn demo dog duties. She currently makes her living as a hot water bottle impersonator. For now, her priorities are health and happiness! 

In Memoriam: Get Ready Ta Rumble "Greta"

ATD

Greta the border collie was a house pet, a demo dog, and a certified baddie. She flunked obedience, but went on to graduate at the top of her class from the School of Hard Knocks! Greta was the original Dog in the Know – our first mascot. 

I started training because of Greta, and I'll carry on for dogs like her. 

Greta passed away on April 22, 2025. She was humanely relieved from physical pain and suffering complicated by aggressive behaviour.
