About Us

​

Carly Walker is a professional dog trainer & behaviorist holding CPDT certification, AKC Evaluator certification, and the founder of The Polite Pooch. She is a CATCH Canine Trainers Academy alum.

 

Previously, Carly was the Adoptions Coordinator for a local rescue where she worked with hundreds of rescue dogs that passed through the facility. She has a wealth of knowledge on dog behavior and focuses on working through the behavioral issues that often cause rescue dogs to be returned, such as leash reactivity, separation anxiety, fear aggression, etc.

​

​Carly has a special place in her heart for all dogs, with a particular passion for advocating for the most vulnerable—such as senior dogs and pitbulls, who are among those most at risk of euthanasia. She is dedicated to giving these deserving dogs a voice, a second chance, and the loving homes they deserve.
