Hello there. My name is Kate Carpenter. I am the Dog Training Diva.

Animals are the windows to our souls, its our job to provide them the best life possible, and understand them.

I live and work in and around the Athens Ga areas. I am a retired veterinary technician and a certified dog trainer. Knowledgeable with all breeds of dogs, I specialize in behavior modification and rescue dogs. I have learned from and trained with some of the best in the industry and was fortunate enough to have Victoria Stilwell from Animal Planet’s “Its me or the dog” as a mentor.

From 1987 to 2008 I was a veterinary technician. In 2008 I founded and managed a no kill dog rescue. Thru the rescue I personally saved over 2500 dogs. The rescue was set up like a doggie daycare.  I currently live on a mini farm near Athens, Georgia. I have studied animal behavior most of my life. Feel free to check out my Facebook page The Dog Training Diva for stellar reviews.

I offer in your home dog training, pet sitting, and also dog walks. I also offer in depth trouble shooting sessions for dogs. I want to ensure a happy, healthy relationship between animals and humans. I specialize in rescue dogs, but have also managed show catteries, been around livestock, have a farm currently, and even have experience with exotics and wildlife. Thank you for your love of animals.
