Our Team
Kelly Siedhof
Kelly Siedhof is a native of Pennsylvania where she works as a freelance editor and writer, specializing in the canine training industry. Her work often includes studying the canine mind and determining innovative and effective ways to work with the dogs in our lives.
Kelly began working with dogs at the age of 2 when her family raised their first guide dog for The Seeing Eye, Inc. Odelle, a spunky German Shepherd, sunk her paws into Kelly’s heart. Granted, at 2 years old, she spent more time playing with pups than training them – but she was hooked on working with dogs! Over the next 25 years, Kelly and her family raised 15 guide dogs for The Seeing Eye.




After high school, Kelly pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree in English at West Chester University. Her writing grew deeper as she studied new ways to deliver her messages. Through a diverse curriculum, Kelly practiced writing in business settings, academic pieces, creative pieces, and the publishing process of her pieces.
Upon graduating from WCU, Kelly began the construction of her own business: KellySiedhof.com. Her website is continually growing to reflect the freelance editing and writing entity of which she dreams. With an eternal desire to learn, Kelly regularly studies new methods of writing so she can grow into a highly successful freelance grant writer for service dog and canine rescue organizations.
In addition to The Seeing Eye, Kelly and her fiancé adopted a lovable pup from Pitties.Love.Peace. – a pit bull rescue organization in Elizabethtown, Pa. Greta, their silly new bundle of fur, spends her days napping on the couch while Kelly researches and writes about canine training methods.

Thomas Wipperman
I currently work both as an independent writer and as a dog trainer. Working with both a large pet chain and smaller organizations, I train dogs and new trainers, as well. Many of the dogs I’ve trained have gone on to be therapy and emotional support animals after passing the AKC Good Citizen Test, and I work with local rescues as well.
If you have any questions you’d like answered, or want to request an article or have anything to say, just stop by my Ko-Fi! or drop me an email via Thomas[at]k9deb[dot]com.
Molly Weinfurter
She has a dog of her own, which is a Shih Tzu named Mabel. She adopted Mabel from a rescue up north about a year before moving to Florida, so the two of them spend a lot of time together whether it’s going on walks, sleeping, or hanging out at the dog park. Mabel even gets to come to work with her! Molly plans to adopt more dogs in the future and hopefully foster dogs as well because she is very passionate about helping dogs at rescues and shelters find good homes.
When she’s not working with dogs, Molly spends time on various writing and editing projects. She has published two books so far. “The Complete Guide to Shih Tzus” is her most recent book, which is a guide on everything you need to know about raising and caring for a Shih Tzu, whether it’s a puppy or a rescue. It includes chapters that cover everything about raising a dog, which includes purchasing supplies, training, providing healthcare, grooming, and more! She also published an eBook titled “Passing Through Darkness,” which is is a collection of various flash fiction stories in the young adult genre. She is currently working on ideas for more dog books that she hopes will be published in the near future.
She has also published lots of different articles on a variety of topics including Disney articles, motivational posts, and of course, a lot of pieces in the pet industry, not only about dogs, but also about other unusual pets, such as lizards and salamanders. Her dog articles are on a variety of topics, such as types and brands of dog food, different pet products, and a variety of dog breeds. She is knowledgeable about multiple different breeds, but of course, Shih Tzus are the breed that she knows the most about.
