Kelsey has nearly 20 years of training experience. She has shadowed under renowned trainers since 15 years old and ran a successful Board and Train program in WA State from 2016 to 2020 before hopping around the US with her growing family. Now that she is back in the PNW, she’s excited to offer the same services to the local community and those traveling through. Alongside her training program, she ran a reputable breeding program, showcasing her Australian Shepherds in various sports and conformation. Forte’s Board and Train program focuses on providing the ideal start for puppies and young dogs entering a new home.
