Cofounder Good Dog in a box

Kim is a serial entrepreneur and co-founder of Good Dog in a Box, that she started with her sister, professional dog trainer Jenn Merritt, CPDT-KA, to help educated the general public about dog bite prevention and provide reward based dog training systems and products that could keep more family dogs in their homes, instead of being relinquished to shelters because of “bad behavior and biting.” Kim’s latest project is the launch of Good Dog Pro, an online content subscription and collection of products and curriculums for professionals who work with dogs.
