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***

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.

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!

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!

My family feels very fortunate to have connected with Kathryn! I think Kathryn is a dog whisperer. Our pup instantly took to Kathryn and she taught us so much in our first meeting. We all feel much better equipped and at ease with training our dog. Kathryn only uses positive reinforcement and is a really great listener and trainer. We signed up for more advanced training in the coming weeks and know we are finally getting the help we need to ensure our pup is well-trained and adjusted.

Kathryn has been a wonderful trainer to our 10 month golden retriever. She is warm, friendly, and very easy to work and coordinate with. She is an effective trainer and within 2 visits we were seeing positive improvements in our dog's behavior and ability to respond appropriately to commands. She has a firm, but gentle approach to dog training which I appreciate having worked with another trainer in the past who was quite harsh with our former dog.
