Testimonials

Kathy was so great with our little pug Maddy. We worked on calming her down and the tips and training we received really helped with her behavior.

Kathy was amazing! She helped us with our boxer puppy who was dealing with separation and barrier anxiety. We were at our wit’s end with lack of sleep and she was so good to listen to us and give us tips and advice that related to our situation. Our puppy is doing so well now! We’re all sleeping through the night, and she is the best behaved, most well adjusted dog we’ve ever owned!

Kathy was wonderful to work with and gave us so many tools and tips for working with our new puppy, Pippin. We mainly focused on socialization and building neutrality towards other dogs. We are excited to continue working with Pippin with the new skills that we have!

I can’t say enough great things about Kathy! She has been an absolute lifesaver in training my puppy. From the first session, she was patient, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable. I saw so much progress in just a few weeks—my puppy is now more confident, well-behaved, and eager to learn. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and effective dog trainer!

Welcoming two rehomed, high-energy dogs into our home was a challenge, but finding Kathy made all the difference. From the start, Kathy’s approach emphasized positive reinforcement and understanding, which aligned with our desire to avoid harsh training methods.  Her hands-on sessions included walking with us, recommending effective tools, and teaching us how to communicate better with our pets. Her responsiveness between visits gave us confidence, and we noticed steady progress each week. The Doberman quickly adapted to the training routines and worked hard to please, while the Husky, though initially stubborn, gradually became more comfortable with the crate and less reactive on walks. Kathy’s guidance helped us address each dog’s unique personality and needs, making training a positive experience for everyone. Now, both dogs reliably respond to their names, sit and wait, and engage in distraction exercises during walks. We’ve learned invaluable skills that extend beyond the sessions, empowering us to be better dog parents and enjoy a happy, harmonious life together. We highly recommend Kathy to anyone seeking compassionate, effective dog training.

We are so incredibly grateful to have worked with Kathy! She helped us with manners training for our very hyper, rambunctious poodle, and the transformation has been amazing. Kathy was patient, knowledgeable, and so encouraging throughout the entire process. She gave us practical tools that actually work and helped us better understand our dog instead of just correcting behavior. Our poodle is so much more calm now and truly couldn’t be happier with the progress. If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares and knows what she’s doing, Kathy is the one!

What a great experience Kathy is wonderful. I would definitely recommend her services if you have a little puppy.

We did the anxiety package of training for our little rescue girl who has a lot of fears. She provided us with a lot of new ideas that we had not thought of and she has made huge progress in the 4 weeks of training, we definitely will keep working with our dog and keep up our training that we learned from Kathy. We highly recommend Kathy and her training. She is very kind and loving.
