Page Bennett

Certified Professional Canine Trainer

Page Bennett is our head trainer here at Dogwoods Lodge! She trains the majority of our dogs that come to Dogwoods, and coordinates all of the training events, classes, and appointments.

A native of Minnesota, Page moved to Iowa to be closer to family and fell in love with all that Des Moines has to offer. She’s been a member of the team since 2013 and has always had a passion for understanding and working with dogs. Before Dogwoods Lodge she worked in a shelter and gained a desire to help dogs and their owners communicate, leading her to begin her journey towards training. When she isn’t helping other people with their dogs, she spends her time with her fur-baby Master, an American Bulldog mix.
