Who are we?

Hello! My name is Kallie, and the majority of my content features a rescue dog named Petzl!

I bring over a decade of experience in animal care and training, working with more than 50 species — from dogs and horses to rhinos, giraffes, and penguins. My career began in animal shelters, where I worked hands-on with thousands of dogs and developed a deep understanding of canine behavior.

That foundation led me into professional dog training, where I found my true passion: helping families build lasting relationships with their dogs through fun, effective, real-world methods. I believe in empowering owners with the skills to keep their dogs happy, confident, and thriving at home and beyond.

After several years expanding my expertise as a zookeeper, I returned to dog training with a fresh perspective and cross-species insight that shapes my adaptive, relationship-based approach. Backed by a bachelor’s degree in the biological basis of behavior, I bring both science and experience to every session.

I’m proud to help families across Rexburg, Idaho Falls, and Blackfoot experience what life looks like with a well-trained, balanced dog.
