About MadKat Dog Training
As a professional dog trainer with over 15 years of experience, I can say without a doubt, that “I LOVE DOGS!”. I’ve never met a dog that can’t be trained. My goal is to offer positive and effective training programs that will produce results based on YOUR needs. I use positive reinforcement techniques - I do not hit, slap, yell, or use shock or choke collars. I will teach you successful techniques to train your dog to become part of your family “pack.” I offer a FREE 30 minute, in-home evaluation. No obligation! Click on “Contact” above and send me an email and your phone number or call to set up an appointment. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Kat! She has made dog training feel so simple, positive, and manageable. She is absolutely wonderful with our little Poppy and has taught us how to build our training skills in a way that feels natural and positive. Poppy is only 3½ months old Bernie doodle, and we are amazed by how well she listens and how much she has already learned. We truly credit Kat for giving us the tools, confidence, and skills to successfully train our puppy. She has been so patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging throughout the process. We would recommend Kat to any of our friends and family without hesitation. If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about both the dog and the owners, Kat is the one! We are so grateful for everything she has taught us and can’t wait to continue watching Poppy grow! 🐾❤️
Kat was so amazing with our new lab puppy, Cooper! She was knowledgeable, “stern” but loving and taught us all so much. Cooper caught on quickly so it was really awesome to reinforce the lessons Kat brought. We are so thankful for her knowledge and expertise. Can’t wait to watch cooper build on her lessons and be the best puppy ever!!!!

We had such an incredible experience with Kat from MadKat Dog Training and truly can’t recommend her highly enough. We brought Kat into our new home for a few in-home training sessions with our 2-year-old mini Goldendoodle, and the results were honestly beyond what we expected. Within just three sessions, we saw a noticeable shift, our dog was more focused, listening better, and responding to commands in a way that felt consistent and reliable. It wasn’t just about quick fixes either; Kat gave us practical, easy-to-implement techniques that made a real difference in our day-to-day routine. What stood out most was how personalized and thoughtful the training was. Kat took the time to understand our dog’s behavior and tailor each session to fit our lifestyle, which made everything feel manageable and effective. We walked away not only with a better-behaved dog, but with so much more confidence as owners. If you’re considering training, especially in-home support, this is absolutely the way to go. Kat exceeded every expectation, and we are so grateful for the experience. Couldn’t recommend her more!
