  • Jeremy Reed

    CDPT-VSA Certified Trainer

    Jeremy was born and raised right here in Southern California. When it comes to animals, everything from furry to scaled, he’s always had a love for them and calls himself a “geek” when it comes to this topic. Ever since he was a kid, it has been a long-time goal of his to be a dog trainer, and he is over the top ecstatic to be doing it now.

    His background in the kennel environment comes from being at a dog daycare and training facility. Although he was knowledgeable about dog behavior prior to this, it was in these environments where his knowledge was tested and expanded upon tremendously. Being able to work every day with dogs in a large group and with dogs who weren’t social or deemed “aggressive”, expedited the learning process. He’s grateful for that experience and he’s also extremely grateful to be here at MSRPAC. Always aiming to help and to learn, he sees it valuable to not just teach dogs and their people but, to always be a student as well. Jeremy has been a trainer with MSRPAC since 2022. He is a CDPT-VSA trainer and is working toward becoming a certified dog behaviorist.

  • Katie Stoll

    CDPT-KA Certified Trainer

    Katie has devoted her life to dogs and helping owners create a better relationship with their own dog. She believes that passion drives success, and behind every successful Canine, there’s a person who’s passionate about aiding in that success. That’s where Katie comes in! As an avid dog lover from a young age, she has spent her entire life dedicated to studying and understanding more about man (or woman’s!) best friend, and the extraordinary influence that dogs have on our own lives. Her mission is to change the way people look at dog training, and redefine “obedience.”

    Katie began her career as a Professional Dog Trainer at a young age. After over 12 years of professional training, she continues to remain up to date on the most recent positive reinforcement training methods and techniques, and also continues her education through attending training seminars and conferences, such as clicker expo, and is a member of the Association of Peg Dog Trainers (APDT.)
