I can’t say enough good things about Kathryn. She has been supportive, encouraging, understanding and is SO wise. She is the second trainer we have gotten for our rescue pup with severe anxiety and behavioral issues. We called her in a panic as we were sleeping in the car every night just to keep our pup calm. She gave us incredible information and helped us get in the mind of our pup. She is SO knowledgeable about how the brain works it’s amazing! We have seen substantial improvement in our pups day to day anxieties just by learning basic ways to help his cognitive function. I also feel confident to know when things are off and better understand his body language. Small things that I was skeptical of have made a huge difference in Fader’s and our day to day. She also helped us get in touch quickly with a behaviorist and back on his medicine when we were very short on time and couldnt get into anywhere quickly. I don’t know what we would do without our team!

Where do I begin! I’m so glad we found her to help us with our sweet, high-energy German Shorthaired Pointer. We were at wits end with our pup. We knew that our approaches to training and communicating with our dog just weren’t effective and lasting, but we didn’t know anything else. I also didn’t want a trainer who guilted us for not using our dog for what he is typically bred for… bird hunting. She never once made us feel like we couldn’t make it work with him as just a family dog. Her knowledge of dog behavior is absolutely astounding. She has an explanation for every behavior (good and “bad”) and it’s backed by science and her extensive experience. I wish we used her approach to dog training from the get-go, but it also hasn’t felt “too late”! She is caring, understanding, flexible with ideas and wants to do what is best for the entire family unit and what is practical. I couldn’t recommend her enough if you are looking for a personal dog trainer!

I adopted Gus, a T-Rex sized Pitbull mix puppy, and quickly realized that both me and Gus needed some training ASAP. Per my vet’s recommendation, I reached out to Kat for help. Kat is an exceptional trainer - she is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and gentle in her methods. It’s clear that Kat has a natural gift for connecting with (and understanding) dogs - Gus is genuinely obsessed with her. The old-school Cesar Millán dominance-based tactics don’t align with my personal values - I’m so grateful to Kat for teaching me how to work with Gus in an effective, force-free, and humane way. I’ve really enjoyed working with Kat and would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a dog trainer.

Kathryn is worth it! We are experienced dog people and have used several types of ‘trainers’ over the years. Kathryn is one of the best. She is very knowledgable, personable, and able to quickly diagnosis causes for behaviors. She blends the right amount of theory and practice to give you easy homework that WILL change behaviors and improve your relationship with your dog. Don’t hesitate. You will not be disappointed.
