Show Notes
A lifelong animal lover, Natalie Keegan has created a life she loves by connecting her background in psychology with her passion for dogs.
After witnessing firsthand, the difference that the love of a dog made in her son’s life, Natalie decided to learn even more about dogs by becoming a dog trainer.
Seeing the power to connect her professional work with children with her dog training skills, Natalie founded the Kids-4-K9s organization and was awarded a prestigious Open Society Institute fellowship to launch her program in schools. Kids-4-K9s has a mission to teach compassion in everyday interactions between people and companion animals.
If you have a high school-aged child in the Baltimore area, they can even learn from Natalie at the Kids-4-K9s Summer Camp at the Baltimore Humane Society.
In addition to Kids-4-K9s, Natalie also runs her own dog training business, My Creative K9, and volunteers at local animal shelters in the Baltimore area. Natalie & her husband also welcome children into their home through Maryland’s foster care system.
