Bobbie Bhambree, CPDT-KA

Bobbie is a dog trainer, a dog behavior consultant, and an agility competitor with over fifteen years’ experience in training and behavior. Bobbie is the Founder & Director of DogCentric, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT), a member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), and a Certified Victoria Stilwell Positively Dog Trainer (VSPDT). In addition to being an instructor for the CATCH workshops, Bobbie is on the faculty of an online school, Agility University. Her classes focus on the behavior aspect of the dog performance sport.

Bobbie started her dog training career in 2003 as a pet behavior counselor with the ASPCA Animal Behavior Center. She worked under the direction of Dr. Pamela Reid, PhD CAAB. This was Bobbie’s first shelter experience. There she implemented behavior modification programs for dogs surrendered by the public as well as those seized by Humane Law Enforcement. She also evaluated, trained and rehabilitated these shelter dogs. Bobbie also consulted with prospective adopters, trained staff and volunteers, assisted with cases in the Behavior Clinic and collected data on the long-term effectiveness of behavior modification programs for shelter dogs. The years she spent at the ASPCA formed the foundation for the work she continues to do in animal welfare.

In 2016, Bobbie joined the North Shore Animal League America in Port Washington, NY as the Director of Pet Behavior. During her tenure there, she managed a team of canine and feline trainers. The team focused on enhancing current programs as well as creating new programs providing behavior modification and enrichment for the animals in the shelter. This position allowed her to expand her reach in educating the public on responsible pet ownership. Bobbie currently deploys for the ASPCA Anti-Cruelty Behavior Team to work in the field, supporting the team with dog fighting busts, puppy mill cases, and hoarding cases. Prior to joining Animal League America, Bobbie worked with the ASPCA Rehabilitation Center, Humane Society of Westchester and the Mt. Vernon Animal Shelter. Bobbie has also worked in private practice throughout her career, helping people across the full spectrum of canine behavioral issues, and providing a multitude of time tested, sustainable tools and strategies to improve their dog’s behavior.

Kate is a CATCH Mentor Trainer and also teaches our 1-Week Workshops at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison, NJ.

Kate Senisi, CPDT-KA

Co-Founder & Senior TrainerSchool for the Dogs, New York, NY

About Kate:
Kate is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) who specializes in dogs with “urban behavior problems” like anxiety and aggression towards other dogs. She is a founding member of School for the Dogs which opened in Manhattan in 2011. In addition to the usual services like private lessons and basic manners classes, Kate’s innovative concepts include the School Yard and her Sidewalk Psychos group class. The School Yard is New York’s only trainer-supervised private dog run, which allows dogs to have off-leash playtime while owners learn about their dog behavior from pro trainers. The Sidewalk Psychos is for dog-reactive dogs to learn how to remain calm and focus on their owner, even in the close presence of other dogs that would normally “set them off”.

Kate uses a reward-based, holistic approach in all of her training and makes sure that each dog is given a personalized behavior plan that is effective and as simple as possible for clients to implement. In addition to the School Yard, School for the Dogs also offers group classes, private sessions, day school, breed meetups, and NYC dog talent for print, film, and television. Kate and her business have appeared twice in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.
