Meet The Trainer

Meet Krissy, the owner of The Meditating Mutt, LLC. Krissy graduated from Eckerd College in 2016 with a BA in psychology and a minor in human development. After graduating, she began her career in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. In 2019, she unexpectedly adopted her dog, Willie. Willie’s traumatic and abusive past began to show itself through reactivity and aggression once he settled into his furever home. That’s when Krissy started training with him using positive reinforcement methods! She fell in love with the process and followed her passion for helping dogs thrive in their new homes! Krissy now has 4+ years of professional experience in the training and pet care industry. She believes in a holistic, humane, and ethical approach when working with and handling dogs. She understands how isolating it can be to parent a dog with behavioral concerns, which is why she strives to care for each dog as if they are her own!

Krissy completed a 2 year dog training apprenticeship, has her Puppy Start Right Certification from the Karen Pryor Academy, and is currently pursuing her KPA Certified Training Partner credential. Krissy has also completed a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training!
