Kate Quelle

Kate Quelle, owner of Poised Paws Dog Training, began training dogs professionally in 2017 after being introduced to the world of training by a close friend. Since then, she has immersed herself in the dog training world, and earned her CPDT-KA in March of 2019. In February of 2021 she was approved as an AKC Evaluator. She completed the Fear Free Animal Trainer Certification Program the same month. In June of 2021 she became an Official Mentor Trainer for CATCH Canine Trainers Academy

Training Philosophy

Kate Quelle is committed to continued education and only using science-based, fear free methods. It is important to her that during training, the dog is always treated humanely. This is why she does not use prong collars, shock collars, or other aversive tools to achieve results. Instead, she works with her clients to find out what motivates their individual dog and use those motivators to help the dog to learn in a fun way that helps build a relationship of trust and understanding instead of one based on fear.

Customer Reviews

• Annie: We absolutely love the work Kate has done to get our dog to get along with a new dog in our family. She was so patient with both of them and we've noticed so many improvements since we completed training. We would highly recommend Kate!
• Justin: We could not have been luckier to work with Kate! The improvement from day one to our last session was something we are so grateful for. We could not recommend Kate enough!
• Jenna: I highly recommend Kate! We have a little beagle mix rescue named Jazz that was very reactive with people and other dogs. She pulled on the leash, was very persistent about taking food off the table and barked incessantly at the window when people walked past the house. Kate came to our home once a week for six weeks and not only trained Jazz to increase her confidence and discipline but she also taught my husband and I how to continue with her progress. Jazz has made enormous improvements and we are able to take her with us to outdoor restaurants and the occasional trip to Home Depot. She responds to “off” which is so helpful when you have two young children who like to leave their food at the table and only barks a couple times at the window before getting bored and moving on. “Wait” and “touch” have also been a game changer when trying to get out the door in the mornings. Thank you Kate!!
• Sara: Kate worked with my dog Remy. Remy is leash reactive. She gave great tips and Remy is doing well. Neighbors where I live are amazed with Remy's progress and are even so happy to see her say hi if they don't have their dogs. Remy still needs some space but her reactions aren't as bad, her ability to be redirected and reset are quicker. Kate is amazing.
• Marianna: Kate met Samsonite at a turning point in his life. All he knew was fear due to his rough past with humans. Because of Kate, Samsonite was given a chance to overcome those fears. He learned life is all about love and trust, and my relationship with him is closer than I could have ever imagined. He is now a happy, confident, and obedient boy.

Before establishing Treasured Creatures in early 2022, Sydney gained two years of experience as a dog trainer. She began her professional dog training career by addressing customer inquiries and instructing dog training classes at a pet supplies store. Subsequently, she worked at a dog day school, where she trained dogs to execute basic obedience behaviors such as 'stay' and 'leave it.' Her work also involved addressing behavioral issues like excessive play biting, jumping on people, counter surfing, mild fear/anxiety, and resistance towards grooming and other body handling.

In 2017, Sydney completed degrees in Behavioral Biology and Psychology from Johns Hopkins University. Around the same time, she brought a miniature goldendoodle into her life and named her Bella. During her college years, Sydney had experience training bats for research studies, but she wanted to ensure that Bella received the best training possible. This prompted her to delve into the world of dog training. As she learned more about dog training and worked on training Bella, Sydney's passion for learning and refining her training skills grew. Her dedication led her to pursue a professional career in dog training.

Sydney completed CATCH’s Master Dog Training Course, which provided her with a deeper understanding of training dogs and interpreting dog body language. Following her formal education, she continued expanding her knowledge about dogs and their training through practical experiences and independent study.
