Meet the Team

Kim Guy, CPDT-KA
Hi, I’m Kim Guy, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), former dog groomer, and former corporate accounting and information technology consultant. My path into dog training blends analytical thinking with hands-on experience and a deep respect for the dog–human relationship.
In today’s fast-paced world, our dogs are asked to navigate environments that don’t always come naturally to them. My work centers on helping both dogs and their owners feel more confident, connected, and understood. Through clear communication, structure, play, and thoughtful mental enrichment, I focus on building practical skills while strengthening the relationship at the other end of the leash.
My journey into this profession began with my own leash-reactive dog, Ninni. Walks were stressful and unpredictable — barking, lunging, and growling at the sight of people or other dogs. Hiring a professional trainer was a turning point for us. With guidance, patience, and a positive reinforcement approach, Ninni learned how to feel calmer and more focused in the world around her. What once felt overwhelming became manageable — and eventually enjoyable.
That experience changed everything for me. I know firsthand how isolating and discouraging behavior challenges can feel, and how transformative the right support can be. My goal is to provide that same clarity, structure, and encouragement to the families I work with.
As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), I adhere to the standards and code of ethics set forth by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), and I am committed to ongoing education and compassionate, evidence-based training practices.
Sean Lenahan
Lead Trainer
Sean brings a strong foundation in canine behavior, extensive hands-on training experience, and a genuine passion for helping dogs and their people build clear, trust-based relationships. With years of experience working alongside dogs of many different temperaments, learning histories, and behavioral needs, Sean leads our Day Training program — supporting more dogs in developing confidence, emotional regulation, and practical life skills through thoughtful structure, clear communication, and compassionate guidance. In addition to overseeing day training services, he also be works with clients through both in-home and in-facility private training sessions, as well as co-teaching select group classes to further support families throughout their training journey.
Sean has been working professionally with dogs since 2017 and brings valuable insight from his time as a Shelter Behavior Technician at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center. During his years there, he gained extensive experience evaluating behavior, implementing enrichment and behavior modification plans, and supporting dogs and adopters through the transition into new homes. That work helped shape his passion for understanding the dog–human relationship and the importance of meeting each dog as an individual. Sean is deeply committed to helping owners find realistic, practical solutions to behavior challenges.

Camille brings a compassionate, people-centered approach to her work with dogs and their families. As part of the K9 Kim’s Dog Training & Behavior Services team, she supports our Day Training program, helping dogs build confidence, life skills, and positive behaviors through structured guidance, enrichment, and relationship-based training.
In addition to her role at K9 Kim’s, Camille works with Tribeca Pets in New York City, where she handles dogs of all temperaments and gains valuable hands-on experience reading behavior and supporting each dog’s needs in real time.
