McKenna is an experienced dog trainer specializing in obedience and reactivity cases. With a passion for working with dogs of all breeds, she began her journey at just 13, volunteering with a non-profit rescue where she fostered and rehomed nearly 20 dogs. In 2012, she became a certified Dog Trainer at Petco, and by 2013, she launched her own dog training and boarding business.
Over the years, McKenna has worked with major dog training companies and currently trains with Dogwise Academy. She uses positive reinforcement techniques to help dogs and their owners build stronger, more confident relationships. When she’s not training, McKenna enjoys hiking and fishing with her personal pack of three dogs, who also assist in her training programs.
We work to consistently innovate and improve upon the way that dogs are trained. Dogwise Academy aims to simplify the training process for busy families.See all
