The Incredible K9

Kate is wonderful and has been a good trainer for our dogs and for our family. I appreciate that she takes the time to explain her process and walks you through each skill, supporting and answering questions as you learn. Kate works to understand the animal and seems to almost work as an interpreter in some ways to improve communication between owner and animal. Our two dogs struggled with meeting new people and dogs, visitors coming to the door, as well as relaxing in new or changing environments. We now are better equipped to help our dogs feel more relaxed in these environments and feel more confident as owners because of Kate’s help.

Kate delivers a professional , organized and effective dog training program! She worked with both my pet and me in techniques and hands on learning in a customized manner and pace that matched my dogs behavior and development. He is a 3 1/2 year old dog that became timid in truck travel, visiting new places and around other dogs after the passing of our other dog. Each week of training, I could witness his progression and my confidence began to build in knowing how to address this 90+ pound dog on a leash in social settings. Long story short --- he traveled several hours to a rented beach home with us this summer, walked around the neighborhood with many other dogs without reacting, and was even comfortable enough to sleep alone on that couch while we went out! Thanks Kate for all your support in helping both MJ and me to learn, adapt and develop into a much more comfortable and confident relationship.
