About
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***

After just one session with Kathryn, my Sadie is behaving much better. We learned how to best address her problem behaviors and will continue to reinforce the gains we made today. With how well the first season went, I'm looking forward to future sessions. Kathryn is personable, very knowledgeable, and is easy to work with. I highly recommend her if you need help with training pup.

Kathryn continues to work with me and my EXTREMELY large dog. Her step by step process really helps me to understand what I need to be doing to help my dog be the best he can be. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any training issues you may have.

When I got a new puppy, Kathryn was wonderful in helping me train him. He's a puggle so he was very stubborn and Kathryn was able to show me different things to help in training him to be more obedient (this included treats, clicker training, etc.) as well as house broken. I was having such a difficult time with house breaking him (It took me almost 9 months), but the moment I called Kathryn, he was housebroken within a month. She was also very reliable with walking him. If I wasn't able to make it back home on time to take him out, she always kindly offered to take him out for me. My dog absolutely adored her and was always excited when she came over. I don't think I'd have the dog that I do now thanks to her. She's a wonderful person to know and work with.

Kathryn was everything we were looking for in a trainer, and more. Our dog now walks really nicely on a leash, lays on his bed instead of begging while we eat, and in general has learned to focus on us, not everything else around him. Most importantly, she gave us the tools and insights to be able to communicate better with him - I think she trained us as much as she trained him! She was incredibly responsive to questions and was willing to work us unexpectedly into her schedule when we were struggling to work with him effectively one week. I can't recommend Kathryn more - we'll definitely be working with her in the future!

Very professional, and was extremely helpful with training my dog. When there were some issues with the weather, they reached out immediately to reschedule. I would highly r
