No. We focus on one dog at a time, or you may enroll each dog in a training program. Previous experience has taught me that multi dog households require more work, time, and attention.

Fantastic training! Kate helped my tiny mother gain confidence and control of my 185lbs Central Asian Shepherd. My dog had a bad habit of sitting and using his weight to get his way and it was a struggle for her to get him up and walking, especially in the heat. Kate worked through the issues with my mother and it has become significantly more manageable for her. I would highly recommend the training in all stages of your dog’s life!

Prior to working with Kate we were dealing with a reactive dog who would lose it at the sight of any other dog, no matter the size or breed. This happened after he was attacked by an off leash dog. We dealt with reactive behavior for over a year until we decided to seek professional help. From the begging Kate seemed confident we could make positive changes if we put in the time and work. We chose the 8 training sessions. I def feel like we got our moneys worth! Each week we worked to teach our dog new commands that were easy and effective. Within a week we started to see positive changes. Kate helped us teach our dog that not all dogs are a threat and how to manage his behavior if he decided to react to other dogs near us. We worked hard to train each day and made the most out of our 8 sessions. I can honestly say that our walks are so much more enjoyable with and we have learned how to communicate properly with the dogs so that we are all on the same page. Our boy seems so much more confident when he is around other dogs. It’s seriously like night and day. If you’re considering working with a behavioral specialist for your dog I would encourage you to work with Kate if you wanna see results. She has truly been a godsend and we are thankful that we found her. A plus is that we used all the techniques she taught us with our female dog who is stubborn as hell. She has gained confidence and seems to enjoy our training time together. She actually does better than our boy. All in all 10/10 experience.
