Testimonials
We recently completed a series of training sessions with K9Katelynn and Tom and were very pleased with both the results and the overall experience. From the beginning, he demonstrated a calm, confident approach that immediately put both us and our two dogs at ease. The training was structured, clear, and most importantly effective. Our dogs responded well to his methods, and we appreciated how he tailored the sessions to our specific needs rather than following a rigid script. Each visit brought visible progress, and we were surprised by how quickly the dogs began to pick up on the new commands and behaviors. What stood out even more was how much we, the owners, learned throughout the process. The trainer didn’t just work with the dog—he worked with us, patiently explaining the why behind each technique so we could continue reinforcing it in everyday life. That made a real difference. The cost was fair and transparent, with no pressure or upselling. In a market full of over-promises, it was refreshing to find someone who delivers solid, honest work at a reasonable price. Happily recommend K9Katelynn to anyone looking to improve not just their dog’s behavior, but their own confidence and consistency as an owner. It’s been a great investment in a calmer, more respectful home environment for both us and our dogs.

We had such a great experience working with Tom! He came to our home and helped us learn how to train our two small dogs and the difference has been incredible. Tom with k9katelynn.com is extremely organized, always coming prepared with a clear plan, and he was so good with our dogs from the very beginning. He’s calm, kind, and patient, which made both us and our pups feel comfortable and supported. He’s also very easy to communicate with and always responded quickly to any questions we had. We’re so grateful for the tools and confidence he gave us. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer!
