Stephanie has been an animal lover since she was a small child. Always growing up with dogs throughout her childhood, her passion to find a career working with the furry companions grew. Stephanie worked as a veterinary technician for over 10 years. She experienced everything from ICU and emergency triage to surgery, general medicine, lab work and holistic medicine (acupuncture, chiropractic and herbal medicine). Stephanie eventually decided to complete her dog training certification through CATCH Canine Training Academy so she could start Agape K9 Academy & Resort. Her passion to educate dog owners to help them build lasting bonds with their beloved pets is what fuels her training technique. Stephanie resides in Maine with her 2 furry friends, Katie and Teia.
