Carolyn has committed her entire career as an educator & entrepreneur, disrupting/improving services and always leading by her core values - principle, integrity & finding better ways to support people and animals.

​

When Carolyn moved to the Central Coast, she could not find a place where she felt comfortable leaving her dogs.  After four years of searching, Carolyn decided to design the optimal environment for dogs - no cages, a place where dogs could build their confidence, make friends, run free and experience a variety of enriching experiences guided by loving, experienced staff.  Carolyn taught holistic dog classes and conducted extensive research on holistic dog solutions for optimal health & well being

​

In addition to Love Dogs Camp, Carolyn founded WITI, as well as three start-ups in the high-tech and legal sectors. She was named one of the "Top 100 Women in Computing" in 1997 and 2000. In  2011 Leighton was named one of Fast Company’s top ten Female Executives in Technology https://www.fastcompany.com/3017067/the-most-influentional-women-in-technology-2011-executives

Passionate about dogs for as long as she could remember, Natalia has over a decade of dog training experience. She has been working with horses and dogs since 2011. Her initial interest sparked as a child and only grew as she did. 

​

Natalia has volunteered at Cesar Millan's Dog Psychology Center, as well as trained the San Diego Padres mascots, Diego, Sunny, and Rookie. After exploring different dog activities, such as Rally, Agility, Schutzhund, and nose work, she found her passion in training dogs with their families who struggled with behavioral issues that made her their last resort. Natalia's dream is to save dogs from the streets, rehabilitate them, and find them their forever homes, but her ultimate goal is to help achieve balance in communication between humans and canines.
