Testimonials

Katelyn worked with us and our two middle-aged dogs. One recently became reactive to other dogs following an off-leash dog incident, and the other was already generally skilled at ignoring us. The dogs responded well to the training and we are amazed at their quick behavior changes. We now enjoy our long walks and Katelyn has helped dramatically improve our dog relationships and overall quality of life. Thank you many times over.

My puppy Carson and I loved working with Katelyn. Carson was a high energy pup and needed lots of direction and training. Katelyn was patient, kind, listened to my needs and concerns, and offered Carson just the right combination of instruction and motivation he needed. It was a joy to see him respond and blossom with her. She was also great at training me to help him succeed. I highly recommend Katelyn for dog training!

Katelyn knows her stuff. A pleasure to work with and I learned so much! I did a two week board and train, and highly recommend it. I finally feel like my dog and I are speaking the same language.
