Ahead of the Pack Dog Training Center

I should start off by saying that when I showed my brother videos of my dog after he spent time training with Katrina, he said “what is she? Some kind of wizard?“ And I have to say, she is exactly that! I first brought my lab, Phoenix, to Katrina’s school when he was 10 weeks old. He graduated from her six week Puppy Play’n’Learn program with all his basics. Katrina’s strategies are so easy to learn and incorporate into your daily routine. And so, Phoenix and I confidently enrolled in the second course, Puppy Drills’n’Skills....and it was then that my sweet little puppy turned into a rebellious teenager! He still knew all of the commands he had learned, but he was picking and choosing when he wanted to obey them. He was also getting bigger and stronger, and more difficult to manage on a leash. I was getting to my wit’s end - and it was at that point that I decided to enroll him in Katrina‘s Board and Train program. She told me that labs were smart but thickheaded, and he just needed a little one-on-one intensive instruction. I was nervous and sad to send him somewhere to board for ten days, but Katrina made the process so easy and comfortable. We spoke several times before the day she picked him up, and every day that he was with her. I received video and picture updates daily, and his progress was unbelievable! Now, I have a beautiful energetic lab who obeys commands and loves to go for walks. He is such a gentleman on a leash, and I get compliments on him everywhere we go! If you are on the fence about bringing your puppy to Ahead of the Pack to train, do not hesitate. You won’t be sorry. THANK YOU Katrina!!
