Kate is the BEST of the best. We can’t thank her enough for her kindness, patience, honesty, transparency, and firm guidance throughout our journey with our energetic and goofy pup. In just 5 classes, we went from a dog who pulled relentlessly on the leash, overpowered us physically, was inattentive to our commands, and altogether “chaotic” to a lovely, attentive, happy-to-work dog! We feel like we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel of a tough period of “puppy blues”. Before we went to Kate, we were frustrated and exhausted after trying so many different approaches. After one call with Kate, we had a plan that made us feel confident there was a solution for us. With structure and clarity from us, our boy has been able to be the best dog he can be! It’s tough work but WORTHWHILE. Kate walked us through every step, answered every question, and set us and our pup up for success. Her honesty was what we needed - our dog is a powerful, willful boy and needed firm structure, and she worked with us to find out what worked for him best. Fairness is critical to the training and Kate always checked in to make sure we were aligned with the level of response needed for the best outcomes. Kate clearly is a natural with canines and has a heart of gold. She cares about the family as much as the dogs, and is intent on finding the best working relationship for everyone! We live an hour away and it’s worth every minute to bring our boy to see Kate. He is over the moon whenever he knows we’re going to Kate’s to WORK! Not to mention the feeling of accomplishment we all have after a session and we receive compliments on his good manners when out and about. The results are everything we could have hoped for, and we will continue to work with Kate to build on our pup’s skills and bring them to the next level. Kate has our highest recommendation as a dog trainer and human being. Owning a dog has never been more enjoyable.
