Guest Speaker on Dog Training, Agility & Neurodivergence: Podcasts, Workshops & More

Looking for a speaker who blends real-life dog world experience with emotional intelligence, mindset support, and neuro-inclusive thinking?

I’m Katrina Bayliss — a Grade 7 agility handler and behaviour specialist, dog business startup mentor, and the voice behind The Neuro-Inclusive DogPod. With over 20 years of business experience (and 10+ in the dog world), I speak from both lived experience and practical expertise.

  • Making training more neuro-inclusive
  • Supporting neurodivergent clients as a dog pro
  • Living and working with dogs as a neurodivergent person

🐾 Agility: More Than Just Handling

  • Agility for anxious handlers or dogs
  • Building confidence and connection in the ring

🚀 Starting a Dog Business (Without Burning Out)

  • Building a values-led business that suits your brain
  • Real talk about startup life (what no one tells you!)

Where I Can Speak
