Kate Gordon, CPDT-KA

Receptionist/Trainer

Kate was an early client of Believe In Dog after rescuing an anxious puppy off the street. Already the owner of a leash reactive standard poodle, Peaches, her interest and drive to learn about canine behavior and training is strong! The positive reinforcement and relationship-focused methods utilized at Believe In Dog are in direct alignment with her personal values for interacting with all sentient beings in the world, so it’s a great fit!

Pandemic pressures made her re-evaluate her career as an oil & gas IT Business Analyst; but her skills in understanding and evaluating systems (dogs), then ensuring users (pet parents) are equipped with the information and skills needed to result in a positive and fruitful experience for their specific situation (lifestyle) are immediately transferrable! She sees it all as a natural extension of her BA in Psychology from UT Austin, and is continuing to expand her ‘systems knowledge’ after earning her CPDT (Certified Professional Dog Trainer) certification in the spring of 2023.
