Meet professional dog trainer Kendra Roop.

Kendra Roop

Dog Trainer



Kendra has spent the last 5+ years working professionally with dogs and their owners, and it shows in her energetic and passionate approach to training. When she starts explaining what your dog is thinking, you can’t help but get caught up in her enthusiasm.


Kendra’s love for training began in dog care facilities, where she became captivated by how dogs learn and interact. She would watch their every move, then dive into research to understand what each behavior and expression meant.


This curiosity led her to a job with a board and train company, where she got her first real taste of training methods and learned how different breeds have their own unique traits. But something felt off—Kendra realized that even the best training programs were missing a crucial piece: the dog owner.

That’s why she’s thrilled to be part of Sit Happens and bring private training to dog owners across the Jacksonville area. Now, she gets to show owners how to improve both their dog’s behavior and their own understanding of their furry friend.


When she’s not with her dog, you might find Kendra kickboxing at the gym or enjoying her favorite sci-fi and anime shows.
