Meet Your Trainer
Hi! I'm Kiersten.
In 2022, my love of dogs led me to work at a doggie daycare, where I deepened my understanding of canine behavior and body language. Managing hundreds of dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments taught me how to read canine communication, anticipate potential conflicts, and make thoughtful decisions to keep every dog safe and comfortable.
In 2026, I began training under Ted Efthymiadis of Mango Dogs, a renowned balanced dog trainer who has helped thousands of owners build stronger relationships with their dogs. Through his mentorship, I've expanded my knowledge of effective balanced training methods.
I created Bonsai Dogs with one goal in mind: to help dogs and their owners communicate more clearly, build lasting trust, and enjoy happier lives together.
