About The EveryDay K9

The EveryDay K9 serves the Raleigh area and is run by a single trainer, Kathryn, who introduces herself on the site as "a NCSU graduate, power breed advocate, avid hiker and traveler, baker, Burn Boot Camp lover, and dog trainer serving the Raleigh, NC area."

How she came to it

Her account is specific: she set out to be a veterinarian, and "as I progressed through my Animal Science and Zoology degrees, I realized that in order to impact dogs and their owners in the way I wanted to, dog training was the path I needed to follow." She describes double majoring while working two part-time jobs at veterinary hospitals and volunteering at her local animal shelter.

Where the name comes from

The business is named for a dog. Dante, a blue pit bull adopted from the Wake County Animal Center in February 2017 after being abandoned on a busy street, went on to accompany her to "countless training sessions for clients" before dying at six of degenerative disc disease. The site says the business "aims to honor his memory by helping owners forge strong bonds with their dogs in which they can live the happiest and most active lives possible, together." That focus – everyday life with a dog rather than competition polish – is what the published programs are shaped around.
