Erin Gowen
Barn Hunt Trainer
Erin is a dedicated Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) based in the San Francisco East Bay Area, where she has spent most of her life, though she also enjoyed a brief stint in Montana during her college years. With a unique upbringing surrounded by animals, Erin often affectionately describes her childhood as being "raised by wolves," emphasizing the deep bond she shares with her four-legged family members.
In addition to her role at a local veterinary clinic, Erin is passionate about teaching Barn Hunt, a sport that emphasizes teamwork and problem-solving between dogs and their handlers. As an instructor at Dodger's Paws, she conducts both Beginner and Advanced classes on Sunday mornings, inspired by her early experiences under the guidance of Christine.
Outside of her professional commitments, Erin enjoys exploring her creative side through leatherworking and nurturing her succulent garden, reflecting her love for both craftsmanship and the outdoors.
