My first experience with Kathy was in 2008 at her puppy obedience class. She was so positive and involved with all of the puppies. Recently, I adopted a year old golden doodle and thought of Kathy right away. Gracie is taking obedience class with Kathy. Kathy is amazing. Again, she is involved with each dog and know’s understands its behavior. She sends detailed emails after every class. She makes herself available for questions and always responds to any emails I send her. And Gracie loves her!!
Informative, patient, and clearly love the dogs!!
Polite Pooches trained our Great Dane and our most recent Golden Retriever service puppy. We were puppy raising a service dog and Polite Pooches did an amazing job supporting us and her through her first training classes! We love all the staff at Polite Pooches!
We’ve taken our one year old dog to several training classes here. She has recently earned two AKC certifications 😊 We’ve loved every class! The trainers are so knowledgeable, and they have shown us the best way to train our dogs without fear or punishment. We have added a puppy to our family and are currently enrolled in the puppy class. Highly recommend this trainer!
