“Kathleen it awesome!! I would highly recommend her if you have a reactive dog. She provided me all the information I needed to better understand what was going on with my dog then all the proper tools and training I could do to correct it over time. I only did a few training sessions with her but that’s all it took!! Then it was all up to me but I felt confident once again being on my own with my girl. Thank you Kathleen now my dog walks are enjoyed by both myself and my dog.”
“Kathleen has been absolutely wonderful working with my service dog in training Jack. We started several months ago with a very anxious dog with a short attention span. Today he is much less anxious, his attention span has increased and he is a completely different dog. I highly recommend Kathleen. I look forward to working with her again in the future when it's time to start Jack's next part of his training.”

“Working with Kathleen has been so great for our fear reactive doberman puppy, Lewis. In a few short sessions, we've learned so many useful skills that we will continue to use going forward and she always follows up with an email to make sure we're not forgetting anything in our lesson which has been so helpful to check back on.
She's so calm and knowledgeable and has a true gift with animals. Not only that, but she empowers us as puppy parents and gives us the confidence to keep him on track with his training in between sessions and genuinely cares about our progress and celebrates our wins with us. Thank you, Kathleen! Couldn't have got to where we are without you!”

“Kathleen had several sessions with our Alaskan sled dog, Arwen. It was clear from the beginning that Kathleen cares greatly for dogs. Arwen is a rescue dog who has developed some fear-based aggression towards other dogs over the years. Kathleen was very patient with Arwen and made every training session a fun experience for her. We quickly saw Arwen gain confidence and skills. Kathleen gave us a lot of tips so that we also feel confident continuing the training on our own. Arwen continues to make strides and this makes our family walks a much more enjoyable experience for everyone.”

“Kathleen is a dog whisperer. She has endless patience and only uses positive reinforcement in her training. Her love of dogs is obvious.
I was always anxious walking my giant puppy because he is very strong and stubborn and he would just pull me wherever he wanted to go. He wanted to play and romp with every passing dog and would drag me across the street to greet them. After training with Kathleen, he will walk with me and remain under control when meeting other dogs so that we can have safe outings together.
His recall is improving and he has learned many new skills. He adores Kathleen and his sessions with her are the highlight of his week.”
