FirstBarkI could not recommend Kathleen enough! We asked for her help setting up our new border collie mix rescue puppy for success after noticing that she was hesitant about the world. Kathleen's tips have been life changing for our dog and for us! So happy that we found Kathleen when we did.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Kathleen at Cosmic Dog Training! Finley has gained so much confidence, and we’ve learned so many valuable skills in the Life Skills class. Kathleen makes every class fun and engaging, and we genuinely look forward to going each week. We are so grateful we found her and already plan to continue with more classes once this session ends. We would recommend her to anyone!
Such a great help and an awesome person! Kathleen walked us through what we were doing and what we should be doing with amazing clarity! She’s helped my brother and I with so many questions for our boys and has no problem explaining it to whoever’s involved. Well loved by pets and parents 👏🏽

Kathleen is in that top tier of professionals who performs their role as a vocation & not just a job. She communicates sometimes complex concepts clearly & with humor & passion. She has a patience & tempo that is easy to want to emulate (I think we’re calling that co-regulating in pop-psychology). The photos are of my 18 month old at an outdoor patio restaurant, snuggling with a 5yo that he just met, using his chaos box to have his dinner (that’s one of the fun activities we learned in one of our classes) & knocked out after a find-it exercise with cinder blocks at home (another enrichment exercise we learned in 1of our classes). You would not regret working with Kathleen & her creative, light-hearted approach to dog trainings. Highly recommend! 🥇
Kathleen was so good at reading the stress level in my dogs and helped me help them to be comfortable in my home.
