Meet the founders

CSDT was FOUNDED TO HELP DOG OWNERS HAVE BETTER RELATIONSHIPS with a BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR DOGS.

AFTER SPENDING TIME WORKING IN Veterinary medicine, dog walking, and open door shelters, emily and natalie saw that dog owners needed Guidance to cultivate a more harmonious relationship with their pet. having both had challenging relationships with their first dogs, they knew how paramount it was to have a mentor. after years of working with all types of behaviors, dogs, and their people, they decided to take all they’ve learned and give back.

Since then they have grown csdt to help hundreds of families, cofounded a dog rescue, and continued training their own dogs for a multitude of dog sports

Now, they are thrilled to welcome you and your four-legged friend into the canine sports family.
