Introduction: Hi all! My name is Kathryn and I am a professional dog trainer located in Mineral, VA. I am Animal Behavior College (ABCDT) certified, and I have over eight years of experience training dogs of all breeds and sizes. My primary focus when training a dog is to teach the owners how to best work with their pup! I work with you and your family to achieve their training goals, even after I leave. I firmly believe that having a strong and healthy bond with your dog is one of the most rewarding relationships you can have in your lifetime. My dogs have always been my best friends and have changed my life in the most positive way! I want my customers to be able to share the same joy as I have had with my dogs, with theirs. I look forward to working with you and your pup(s)! Kathryn Anwyll ABCDT Please note: ***I do NOT travel out of Virginia or offer board and train programs. NO REFUNDS on unused or cancelled appointments***

Kathryn is calm, professional and amazing with our dog and very clear in explaining to us what we need to do to accomplish our training goals. I highly recommend her.

Kathryn isn’t the only dog trainer I’ve ever worked with, but she is ABSOLUTELY the best. I love the psychology behind her training and it is very easy for the dog and people to pick up.

Kathryn was awesome with my *verrry nervous* four year old pit bull, Mac. He had trouble dealing with his mistrust of other dogs, and as a result, I was really on edge around them as well. Kathryn did an excellent job training BOTH of us to stay cool, calm and collected in new situations, and by the end of our lessons, Mac was an entirely new dog. I would recommend her to anyone!

We had recently moved into the area and were having a hard time training our very excitable Bernese Mountain dog. She was nervous and scared and mischievous and she was clearly calling the shots. From the first time we meet Kathryn she was the pack leader. Literally from the moment she stepped inside. She was very patient with me and provided positive feedback and encouragement to both of us! While we were going through a period of aggression/fear of other dogs, she even brought her dog with her to go on walks with us. She taught me so much about my dog and techniques to becoming the pack leader! My girl is still her crazy highly energetic girl she was before, but she now listens and looks to us as the leaders. Highly recommended!

My family was very happy with Katherine as our dog trainer! She is much more affordable then most trainers in the area. We discussed our dogs behavior with her, and she gave us lots of methods to help curb his bad behaviors. The value of having a specialist analyze our dogs specific issues is something we were missing when reading a training book or doing group training. It is well worth the price to get a dog trainer like Katherine if your dog has stubborn habits that you can't find a solution to. We have finally gotten my dog to start walking past other dogs without snarling by using Katherine's tips. He is also getting better with strangers coming to the door and into the house. Thank you for all your help, Katherine!

Details: 1 dog • 2 - 10 years old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • Aggressive behavior modification • Biting • Private dog training lessons • The dog trainer travels to me
