Your Puppy's Trainers
Co-Founder · Director of Puppy Development & Training
Katie M. Stokes
Katie leads puppy development and training across Stokeshire. Since 2020 she has overseen litters from whelping through go-home, including early neurological stimulation, socialization, Doodle School™, Bootcamp™, and family handoff.
She coordinates the training team and transportation planning. For anything related to your puppy's training or travel, Katie is your point of contact.
Doodle School™ Trainer · Board and Train
Lisa Kopp
Lisa has served as an agriculture educator and FFA advisor at Medford Area Senior High School since 2014 and holds a B.S. in Agricultural Education from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls. Her household competes in AKC Rally, conformation, and agility.
Her training approach mirrors good teaching: read the individual, find what motivates them, create structure, reinforce success, and build confidence without forcing the learner past their threshold.
Bootcamp™ Lead · Speech-Language Pathologist
Korby Wipf
Korby leads Bootcamp™ intake, daily training, family updates, and handoff, including flight nanny coordination when a puppy travels. A speech-language pathologist by profession, trained at the University of South Dakota, she brings a clinician's habit of clear goals and documented progress to puppy work.
Observe what is happening, define what comes next, and communicate it clearly to the family.
Behavior Modification Trainer · Virtual Training Consultant
Karlee Batchelder
Karlee trained at Highland Canine School for Dog Trainers in its Obedience and Behavior Modification Program and is a Certified Professional Pet Dog Trainer based in Medford, Wisconsin.
She works with Stokeshire families after Doodle School™ and beyond, helping owners understand the dog in front of them and continue building reliable, relationship-centered behavior at home.
Depending on capacity and your puppy's needs, your puppy may live with Katie at our Medford property or with a Stokeshire-approved trainer at an approved home in Wisconsin. Your trainer is assigned after Match Day, once your puppy and program are confirmed.
In every case, puppies are raised in a home environment with their trainer, and a trainer home hosts no more than four puppies at a time. Approved trainers follow Stokeshire's written protocols for biosecurity, sanitation, vaccination, separation, and handling. Their homes may include children, other dogs, and, in some cases, cats, livestock, or poultry.
Your enrollment, updates, documentation, and communication run through Stokeshire throughout. You will confirm your preference for off-site placement at checkout.
Investment & Enrollment
Your Puppy's Program, Documented.
Stokeshire Companion App™
Follow the routine before you meet.
Updates, photos, and developmental notes are logged throughout the program, so your puppy's daily rhythm is familiar to you before the two of you ever meet at home.
After graduation, the record travels with you. The routines, cues, and handling notes established during Doodle School™ stay available for reference as you continue the work.
Four weeks of foundation.
Doodle School™ establishes momentum. It does not replace your role. Add the program above to request your puppy's placement, subject to trainer availability.
Doodle School™ Extended Training Estimator
How extended training works
Your Graduation Date is set by Stokeshire. It is the final day of the 28-day Doodle School™ program and your scheduled go-home day. Pickup or delivery on your Graduation Date carries no additional charge; those 28 days are covered by your tuition.
If you would like your puppy to stay in training longer, or your pickup falls after graduation, every calendar day after your Graduation Date through pickup or delivery is billed as extended training, including the pickup or delivery day. The Graduation Date itself is not billed again.
Extended days continue the same program with your puppy's trainer: routine, socialization, training sessions, and updates in the Stokeshire Companion App™. Extended training is per calendar day, plus applicable tax, and is subject to trainer availability. Confirm any extension with Stokeshire before your Graduation Date.
Example: if graduation is October 17, pickup October 17 has no extended charge. Pickup October 18 is one extended day. Pickup October 24 is seven extended days.
Transport, pickup times, and signed terms
When our team transports your puppy, care and billing continue through delivery to you, including transit days. Those days must be disclosed in your transport quote before booking. When you hire an independent transporter, use the date we hand your puppy to that transporter.
A billable day is a full calendar day regardless of handoff time. There is no hourly proration or separate after-hours fee in this estimate.
Your signed training agreement governs. Signed terms change only in writing from Stokeshire. If your agreement states different extension terms, request a verified quote rather than relying on this estimate.
