Introduction: Dogs are not a hobby or a job for me, it’s a lifestyle. Everything in my life revolves around dogs. I am very detail oriented in training and always make sure that every step is polished before moving to the next one. I adjust my training methods and techniques to fit each individual dog and his owner. My goal is to create harmony and understanding between a dog and his person.

We left our 4month old puppy Loki with Kat for 2 weeks for board and train and had a great experience. She crate trained him and taught him to not jump at his food! She also started training him on some other commands too. Appreciate her taking the time to coach us as well on the best practices. She was super communicative and responsive during the entire duration. She sent us multiple videos of him playing with her adorable dogs (they’re all super friendly) and kept us informed of his training progress. I would highly recommend Kat and in fact we plan to take Loki again to do the full 1 month training program later in the year.

I really had a great experience with Kat. She did a great job with our dog, Judy. She answered our questions and took the time to help train my son and myself with how to handle our dog. She has a great space, addressed any concerns we had and basically treated our dog as her own. We got videos with her progress and gave updates which made me feel very comfortable. Thank you so much for what you have done for us. Right now it’s up to us to continue all the work that she has done over the past weeks. The training has really made a difference in our home! Thanks again!

We brought Luna, our 10 mo Labrador Retriever, to Kat for a month long board and train. We specifically wanted help with leash and off leash walking, recall, impulse control and over all good manners. I cannot say enough great things about Kat and what she was able to do with Luna. It was like night and day. Before Luna would pull on walks and be distracted by any little sound or person walking by. But now Luna walks right beside us very calm and very attentive to the person walking her. So much so that even my 9yo can walk her no problem. Luna listens and stays put when we tell her to and she's not even bothered by other dogs or people that walk by anymore. Kat's communication gave us comfort that Luna was in good hands. She made sure we got updates almost daily to let us know the progress Luna was making. I highly recommend Kat if you are looking for help with your pup. Kat is amazing! The training you and your pup receive will definitely change your lives for the better!

Kat is THE BEST! I sent both my dogs to her and she kept them for a month. She text me weekly with videos and pics of their progress and even taught me how to continue their obedience at home. They came home to me as perfect little angels. Highly recommend! Thank you, Kat!

We met 4 different trainers for an hour each before we decided to get Kat's help to train our goldebdoodle Mylo. Started with some hour long visits to her place for training and eventually aent mylo to Kat for a month long board and train. The results are beyond our expectation. Mylo was quite stubborn, was trying to bite us at times and in general trying be the alpha male around us. Kat has managed to get him to learn to place, to heel on a leashed walk, wait at doors before rushing out and in general being responsive to us. Now that Mylo has returned from the board and train, kat is still super responsive in answering any questions we have on continuing what she has taught Mylo. We highly recommend going to Kat for your dog training needs.
