Kate Uruchurtu, CPDT-KA, FPPE, FDM (she/her) is the founder and trainer of Calmer Canines LLC. Since 2007, she has worked with over 1,000 puppies/dogs with a variety of behavior issues. She starting working with reactive dogs in 2009, but began focusing more on families with children when she became a member trainer with The Family Dog® in 2016.
