About Trainer

Justine/Steen (She/They)
Owner & Head Trainer

Justine founded MKE Puppy Pal in 2018 after years of pet sitting, dog walking, and fostering dogs across Milwaukee. A training internship with Rescue Gang gave them the foundation and confidence to take on more complex cases — and since then, they’ve worked with over 1,000 dogs and their families.

Their philosophy is simple: calm dogs make good choices. Many behavior challenges come from stress or a dysregulated nervous system. By focusing on impulse control, building confidence, and creating calm, Justine helps families see results that truly last.

Known for their honest communication, high standards, and supportive style, Justine makes families feel guided and encouraged every step of the way. Favorite cases include high-energy dogs who thrive running or biking with their owners — and anxious pups who learn how to finally relax at home.
