We loved our experience with Kate & Kindred Spirits! I'd reached out to them as our Boston Terrier had become fearful & a little reactive around other dogs after being attacked. Kate offered a great solution to have her come to obedience class to build confidence & to slowly get used to being around other dogs. The skills Kate teaches are so crucial for us as owners to not only help our girl be a good member of the house but also to help her find focus in situations that might be triggering. Lola's progress has been so encouraging - we can't wait to continue working with them!

We had a great experience learning how to train our dog Charlie! Fun (for humans and dogs), so informative, and we saw immediate progress. Kate truly has a gift and her assistant Karin is equally as wonderful. Looking forward to more advanced classes soon!

We loved Kindred Spirits. Their training method is intended for sustainability so while it took a minute (almost all six classes) to feel like we were getting it, it is setting a solid foundation for our new pup to become her best self and a very well-behaved pup :).

So far my baby dobie and I have completed the puppy and basic obedience training with Kate. We couldn’t be happier to have come across Kindred Spirits School. Kate truly knows what she’s talking about and her passion for dogs and training truly shines through. We are excited to continue working with Kate as Jiji continues growing up.
