The Incredible K9

We adopted a pit bull from a shelter and knew he would need some “work”. He’s a sweet dog but is big, strong, and full of energy. It was imperative that we found someone who could help him with his separation anxiety, leash pulling, and bad manners. We took him to Kate for a 3 week board and train. Kate is AMAZING. A miracle worker. We continue to use her for boarding and she’s always available when we’ve come across other minor issues since his initial training a few years ago. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. I can’t recommend her enough!

Kate and the Incredible K9 have been nothing short of amazing. I have worked with Kate on individual training at my home, the board and train program, and extended foundations with my border collie. Kate understands dogs and the intricacies of different breeds; I could not be happier with the results of our work together and my dog’s transformation. My BFF is much more calm, she’s polite, and her recall off-leash is great. I call her, use the bridge, and she comes to me every time. She is now able to hang out on her own in the house and it’s not unusual to find her settling herself down after playing gently with the cats. One important thing to know about Kate is that she really and truly does care for your dog while in training. She helped me to discover a health issue with my dog, which was then corrected, and got her scheduled back in to extended foundations as soon as possible. I will always be thankful for her insight and quick action when she identified a possible problem. Before the Incredible K9, I had used two other trainers. Neither achieved the results that Kate did. I still use her videos from time to time when we work on new concepts, and when my dog hears Kate’s voice, she gets so excited. That’s Ella’s positive vote for Kate and her work!

We have a 4 year old mini aussie shepherd who Kate worked with when he was around 2. We have to muzzle him around guests but Kate had him for a week and took the muzzle off of him on day 2. He was great with her and her husband and all the dogs they had that week. We used techniques that she taught him and us along with some other recommendations and he is easier to walk, and listens much better. I cannot say enough good things about Kate. If you have a dog that needs some help, I would definately give Incredible K9 a call!!

I cannot recommend Kate or the Incredible K9 enough! We have had both of our dogs trained by her and it has been life changing. Both dogs completed the board and train and Bruce, our lab, was off leash trained which is really great to have for hiking or the beach. Bruce also developed aggression issues recently and we were able to send him back to Kate to work one on one with him with great success. Honestly, the best aspect of her training is the education she provides owners on how to deal with and maintain issues and keep the training up- no other trainer I’ve looked up offers “human lessons” as part of the training- which is huge because most behavior issues are owner influenced! Her home is clean, the dogs in her care are well looked after, and once you meet her you can just see how much she loves dogs. These photos are pictures she took of my pups while they were at the board and train. I was super nervous to leave them that far away (we live in DC which is about 3 hours from Kate) the smile on Bruce’s face says it all. Kate knows her stuff and dogs absolutely love her. Best money I’ve ever spent-hands down.
