The Incredible K9

The Incredible K9 made such a positive change in my dog. We have a sweet, LARGE goldendoodle who was a ball of energy and impossible to manage on walks or if guests came over. Through working with Kate, he's now able to enjoy walks (as are we!) and new guests are welcomed by a calm, collective dog. The fact that she was able to do this with just the 2 weeks of board and train is also incredible! Our dog has also maintained these practices for almost 4 years. We cannot recommend her enough. It's worth every penny to see the positive difference in your dog. Both you and your pup will be better for it!!!

I was just about ready to give up on my dog when I did a search for dog trainers in the Centre county region. The Incredible K9 was unique because Kate had training videos posted. I started watching them and was impressed. I liked that Kate trained in her home and not in a big training facility. She used real life to train and of course her knowledgeable background. She continues to learn and grow as a trainer by attending seminars herself. My dog is a rescue that is insecure and nervous. She is sweet and loving to her family, but if she is unsure of something she wants to attack. Kate has taught us how to help Ebony relax and how to have self control. Now when Kate trains your dog she jumps starts the process, but then she trains the owners. I am obtaining knowledge on how to work with my dog through different relaxation exercises and games we can play that are actually teaching Ebony how to be calm. One of the things I always found frustrating was keeping my dog calm when people came to the house. I was just about to the point of not having anyone visit. Well, it's been a month since Ebony had one on one training in which Kate taught about boundaries when guests come over. Today we had visitors and Ebony was calm and polite. A drastic change from the wildness that occurred previously. I highly recommend Kate for her ability to train your dog and listen to your questions with answers that work.

Kate Walker is truly incredible with our K9. We've trained and boarded two dogs with her, and she has a rare talent with and understanding of dogs. Her unique connection to the canine mindset is very intuitive, but it is backed up by extensive knowledge and experience with dogs. She is able to take even a very challenging dog and within a matter of weeks instill structure and good habits. It's remarkable. Kate and her terrific husband, Joe, who is also great with dogs, clearly love and appreciate the dogs in their care. My wife and I trust Kate, and we greatly value the opportunity to know her and Joe and to have our Golden Retriever spend time with her and her well-trained and socialized dogs. I highly recommend Kate Walker and The Incredible K9.

I met Kate about two years ago and the training she provided not only my dog, Finn, but myself as well changed my life! At the time Finn was a year old Australian Shepherd that had no manners and was full of energy. Despite having an Invisible Fence at my home, I would still have to walk Finn on a leash outside when taking him out to go to the bathroom as otherwise I would have to chase him through my acre plot to get him back inside. I knew that this would not be a long term option as the routine was growing old quickly, so after chatting with someone that told me their story with Kate I looked her up and set up an appointment for Finn to spend two weeks with her. Fast forward to the day I came to pick up Finn. Kate “trained me” first and then we went through the steps with Finn. When she suggested we go to a park nearby with Finn offleash and only his E-collar I quite literally thought she was crazy and that I was going to have to put up adds for a lost dog. She let Finn off leash and he ran quite far- she then gave the command and right back to us he came. I was astounded! To this day I can let Finn run outside and just follow the steps that Kate taught us and it works like a charm. The wonders she worked in those two weeks did not end there. Kate is always available for follow up questions and was quite helpful in integrating the training once you and your pet get home. She does a great job of recommending different products that she uses and provides instructional videos on her website to continue to help with training. Working in the animal health field I come across many pets that are at various stages of “developing manners” and I never hesitate to recommend Kate and The Incredible K9 to my clients. Thanks Kate for making such a positive impact in my life!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kate! We sent Bentley, our mini goldendoodle, to Kate for training when he was about a year old. Bentley is the first dog my husband and I have ever owned so we needed a little help with training. When I picked Bentley up I was so happy with the progress he made! Training is something that you have to continue to work on at home but Kate gave us an amazing foundation to go off of! When we go on vacations I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving Bentley with anyone but Kate!! I can have complete peace leaving him there knowing that he is well loved and taken care of. I also appreciate the picture updates! I can tell Bentley loves his “vacations” at Kate’s because he gets so excited when we arrive. Our family is so thankful we found Kate and would 100% recommend The Incredible K9 for any training or boarding needs.
