Polite Pooches Positive Dog Training

We recently adopted a sweet and well-trained Smooth Collie puppy but she was afraid of stairs. I need a quick solution and started a search for a dog trainer. I believe in positive reinforcement training only and was shocked at how many local trainers used e-collars and were a hard sell to use their services. I am so thankful to find Polite Pooches and work with Kathy! After one private session, our girl was confidently going up and down our stairs that evening! Not only that we learned so much about socialization, building confidence, touch training, engaging toys and play, and recall. Kathy is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Gwen took to her immediately and felt secure in her training center and to listen to her. I am over the moon and will be using her other training services and classes. I highly recommended Polite Pooches!

Kathy and all the team members are so kind, patient, and knowledgable. We have done private and group training and they gave us easy to implement lessons, tips, and strategies needed to help our pups gain confidence, feel secure, and be the best pups they can be. Both of our pups were older when they joined our family and this training is so good for all dogs of all ages. I am extremely particular when it comes to the care of my furry family members and I highly recommend Kathy and this training to all my friends and family who have also loved it! We are excited to be back and help our newest furry family member, Herschel, feel like his best self.

Kathy at Polite Pooches was INCREDIBLE. She was prepared for our priority behavior concerns and offered tons of resources, strategies, hands on training and even showed us multiple types of treats and toys to target our dog’s needs. Our one on one session with her was more than worth the cost, giving us a sense of control and a plan for ongoing training with our recently adopted dog. She even types plus personalized notes for you after the session so you can solely focus on practicing while present at the session and not just memorizing. I can definitely see us going back for more lessons in the future. Thank you Kathy!
