FirstBarkWe took our puppy Sunni. She loved the classes and learned a ton. Even as a long time dog owner the classes were super helpful. I also liked the socialization.

Looks like Polite Pooches gets another 5 start review! Kathy and her crew definitely deserve it! My pup learned something new and got reinforcement every week. The weekly follow up emails with extra details to help with training were great. Whole heartedly recommend them for your dog training needs!

We’ve had three private lessons with Kathy…she is amazing! She is well prepared, knowledgeable, and patient. Kathy took a genuine interest in getting to know my 1.5-year-old lab, Duncan, and provided so much insight into his behavior along with tips and strategies to achieve the desired behavior. Duncan is very anxious and struggles (a lot) with separation anxiety. I was at a loss until meeting with Kathy. Polite Pooches’ positive approach is perfect for him. Kathy was wonderful at demonstrating the skills to work on with Duncan during our sessions and gave me the confidence and tools to work on his ongoing training at home. Her follow up after each session is thorough and filled with helpful links to visual tools/videos, resources, and tips. We will be Polite Pooches customers for life!
I had my first private dog training class with Kathy. She helped me with commands that I needed to do with my dog and how Maya should be responding to me. I have been training Maya for a few days now and those commands have helped. Kathy is very nice and Maya had a great time learning and she had a good workout at the end of the lesson.
I can't express how much we get out of training and how much my pup really liked attending class!
