I have gone to kat for 3 years and I absolutely will NEVER go anywhere else! She has helped me with all 3 puppies and offers the best advice and has the best sense of humor. We are currently attended her rally class and is honest in what we need to work on. My dogs have done her puppy, family dog 1+2, CGC, and rally classes with her. I highly recommend!
