Meet the Owner

Hi, I’m Katelyn!

I spent my career fascinated by how animals learn and interact with the world around them. With a background in zoology and 10+ years as a Zookeeper across a wide variety of species, my work has always been guided by one simple goal; helping animals and their humans live happier, lower-stress lives together.

At Bright Minds, training isn’t about control or rigid perfection— it’s about building clear, two-way communication. Every animal is an individual, and every home has its own rhythm. My experience working with animals has taught me that patience, observation, and adaptability are key. We don’t use cookie-cutter plans; we meet your pet where they are and design a path forward that works for your whole family.
