Kristin Minnie - Pack Leader

Kristin is The Local Bark’s dog training director. She is passionate about training both dogs and their people! With her knowledge of pack dynamics and dog psychology, it is her job to make sure the dogs are well-managed in the social groups, and have an all-around sense of happiness while visiting The Local Bark. Kristin established El Dorado K9 Training in 2001 and has over ten years of training experience. She is the mother of three young children, and loves to play, learn and explore with the kids. She also enjoys riding her Arabian horses when time allows.

Mark has a competitive golf history, and was a starting player on the Sacramento State University Division I golf team and continued his golf career by playing professionally on the California Golden State Tour and the Canadian Golf Tour. Ahh…if only there was more time for golf…
