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.

Kat instantly made a strong connection with our puppy, Espresso, the minute she walked in the door! In only 3 sessions she managed to teach him and our family “place”, “sit & down”, “stay”, “off”, “come”, and “let it”. Also, how to not just meet his physical needs, but mental stimulation as well. Our friends and family are in awe of his progress! Thank you so much for all you’ve done for Espresso and our family🥰🙌😁

Hi Lauren.... first let me say that it was MY pleasure to meet and work with you and your beautiful daughters. It is a breath of fresh air to see clients work with their dog to help them become a well-behaved member of the family. You did just that and Espresso is better for it. Keep it up and don't let your guard down on this smarty pants! Enjoy the rest of the summer ! ps... LOVE the photos - he's such a cutie - you should get him a modeling gig!

Kat was a pleasure to work with. She was easy to communicate, flexible and had a wealth of knowledge to help us train our 4 month old goldendoodle.

Business response

Thanks Megan... Duncan was very receptive to our training and so willing to learn. Put in the effort and watch him soar! Call if you need me - hugs to that cutie-pie!

5/5

Kat was amazing with our Mini Golden Doodle. She spent time understanding current behaviors of our puppy and where her training should focus. She also included the entire family in the training sessions. We saw improvements in our puppy after each session. We really enjoyed the training sessions with her and would highly recommend her.

Business response

Oliver! What a smart pup that knows exactly what he can get away with and the family member that he can push limits with. Yes, the family needs to show him an equal amount of leadership and love (even though we all know he LOVES YOU the most!) :-) It was my pleasure working with and meeting your beautiful family. Enjoy the rest of the summer with Ollie. Call me if you need me!

Kat is amazing!! Her understanding, passion, and dedication was evident from the first session with my boyfriend and I's dog Britta. Britta is a German Shepard/ Belgian Malinois pup who has a high-drive and was a rescue. Kat was patient, kind, and able to earn her trust. She has very personalized training regimen and gave us notes and sheets related to the training and behaviors we were targeting each session. Kat's knowledge was invaluable, and their ongoing support and genuine care for Britta's well-being made all the difference. We are ecstatic about Britta's progress! I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate trainer!!

Business response

Christina! What a wonderful surprise. You made my week...and Britta made me a better trainer. She was a bit of a challenge but she sure came a long way. She was able to put her guard down and let me earn her trust. You and Pat are angels for rescuing her and giving her love, guidance and leadership - just what that scared, anxious dog needed. Thanks again and you know I'm always here if you need me. Give Britta a kiss from me.

Hi Jean... (it's must be the hockey connection!). Thanks for this review..it's a dog trainer's dream NOT to have to see their clients again so they know they've done their job. But not you, yes, lunch soon xo
