Assistant Manager

D’Ondra, a Houston native, brings her big love for dogs and years of leadership experience to the BIDT team. Her journey began over a decade ago, when she and her Australian Shepherd, Kala, attended a series of puppy classes with Stephanie Bennett. Those early experiences inspired D’Ondra to fully embrace Stephanie’s training philosophies, sparking a lifelong commitment to positive training and relationship building with dogs.

As the Assistant Manager at BIDT, D’Ondra combines her love for animals with a wealth of expertise in project management, staff development, and operations.

Outside of work, D’Ondra can be found exploring new places with her two beloved Australian Shepherds, Kala and Trigger. Whether they’re hitting the trails, enjoying the beach, or embarking on road trips, D’Ondra treasures every adventure with her dogs and is always on the lookout for new ways to keep their minds and bodies active.
