Stephanie Collingsworth - Instinct Dog Behavior & Training

Stephanie Collingsworth

Trainer & Behavior Consultant
(she/her/hers)
  • Certified Behavior Consultant – Canine (CCPDT)

Stephanie has been helping dogs and their humans for 28 years—and she’s still just as excited about behavior science as she was on day one. Her experience includes private coaching, shelter work, and time with the Animal Behavior Clinic of Portland, all of which shape her kind, clear, and practical approach to working with a wide range of training and behavior issues, including aggression, reactivity, fear, anxiety, and other complex behavior issues. Stephanie is all about turning chaos into connection—with a few laughs along the way. Her goal is to help clients meet their training goals, and most importantly, strengthen the relationship they have with their dog by building understanding, trust, and a better sense of their dog’s individual needs. When she isn’t working with dogs, Stephanie is usually hanging out with her partner and friends, reading, or leveling up in a game.
