Cosmic Dog Training

Review Summary: Kathleen is knowledgeable, patient, and supportive—she’s made integrating our new puppy with our resident Aussie a positive and successful experience. Full Review: Kathleen has been an incredible support as we’re working on integrating a new puppy into our family alongside our resident Aussie. This time around I had anxiety about adding a second dog to the family, but she immediately put me at ease. She really listens, acknowledges concerns, and then works with you to create practical steps with games-based training that are both helpful and fun for our dogs. With our new puppy being a nervous little guy, we’ve been doing at-home sessions, which has been amazing for real-life practice in our own space. Her knowledge of dogs and their needs is impressive, but what makes her stand out is how she combines that expertise with patience and encouragement. She’s helped us set realistic expectations, celebrate both the big and small wins, and see just how much progress both dogs are making as they grow into siblings together. Thanks to her guidance, I feel grounded and positive about this transition—and both dogs are thriving!

Kathleen is a highly skilled and knowledgeable dog trainer. She worked with our family to train our French Bulldogs, and we have seen significant improvements in their behavior. Since completing our training sessions, our dogs are able to navigate walks without reactivity, remain calm when guests visit, and demonstrate much better overall attentiveness. Kathleen’s training approach, which incorporates engaging and interactive games, proved both effective and enjoyable for our dogs. We are very appreciative of her expertise and would confidently recommend her services to others.

I wish there were more Kathleens in the world! My partner and I were looking for a dog trainer to help with our corgi, Penny. We interviewed several trainers before deciding on Kathleen — and I’m so glad we did. Not only was Kathleen an absolute joy to work with, but she also gave us an entirely new perspective on how to connect with Penny, build her confidence, and better understand her triggers. We truly feel like we walked away with a different dog — and as better dog parents. If you’re looking for a trusted dog trainer who can help lay the foundation for a happier, healthier dog, Kathleen is your person!
