Introduction: I am very compassionate and I always go above and beyond. When training I take the time to ensure that the owner understands how to talk to the dog and work with it so there is a good relationship between human and dog. As every dog is different, I take the time to make sure that goals are met and that the dog is successfully trained. If one method doesn't work, I try others until the training is a success. I do not use tools such as prong collars, choke collars, etc. as I feel that dogs CAN and do listen if they are commanded correctly and if there is a good respect between human and dog and if there is a proper pack order set. I feel that although training tools like prong/choke collars may help the owner walk the dog easier they are negative for the dog and can cause behavioral issues down the road. I have been told that my love for dogs and for what I do stands out and I strive to make all my customers happy with the training experience so they have a positive relationship with their dog.

Kathy is an avid dog lover that has plenty of patience to work with many types of dogs. I have used her to help with dog training and to pet/house sit and she was great! Kathy is also resourceful in connecting and working with other trainers for help or suggestions in dealing with certain situations that may come crop up while training a dog. This provides a wealth of options and education for both the dog and their owners.

Kathy has been walking my dog since he was 6 months old. He is now 3 1/2 - lab mix. Kathy is extremely friendly and flexible! I when I say flexible - I mean it. She has a pack of her own & understands dog behavior. I'm blessed to have found her

Kathy is great! She started walking my dog at midday when my company relocated from Milford to Cambridge. She doesn't just walk a dog in the backyard and then leave. She loves animals and takes all her furry clients on outings to parks, conservation lands, state forests, etc. She is so reliable, friendly and caring. I feel so much better knowing Kathy is always there to take care of my fur baby. I can't recommend her enough!

There is no substitution for honesty, reliability and experience. I don't just go to your home and walk your dog or train your dog. I have a genuine love for animals and it shows with what I do.
