DogSpeak Dog Training, Behavior & Pet Sitting
Hello!

My name is Kathy Longwell and I am the owner and operator of DogSpeak Dog Training, Behavior and Pet Sitting. I have had a love for animals since I was a child. I think some of us are born to care for God’s creatures and I am one of them.
I found myself a single Mom back in 2002 and wanting to have a schedule that was a little more flexible. I started my own house cleaning business and my clients began to notice my love for their pets – probably more than I loved cleaning their homes.
After several years of a successful cleaning business, I began hearing about a new industry that would benefit from my passion for animals, customer service and business experience. I first launched a pet sitting business named, ‘All God’s Creatures’, in 2009 and I have never looked back.
My goal was to make sure that my clients could relax – while away from home – knowing that their pets were being cared for by someone who is responsible, has been trained for medical emergencies, and has enough experience to fulfill both the physical and mental needs of their animals.
I am thrilled to say I have accomplished this through my pet sitting business ‘All God’s Creatures!’ and my dog training business ‘DogSpeak Dog Training and Behavior’.
Since 2009 I have continued my education in animal care and dog behavior. Using my skills and experience to change the lives of dogs and their owners is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I love watching a dog’s anxiety and insecurity fade away and a new, calm and confident dog appear.
I look forward to working with you and discussing the needs of your pets.
Happy Pets….Happy Life!!!
