Dog Training Methodology
Katalyst Kennels offers pet dog services including Board & Train, Dog Boarding, Puppy Camp, Adult Dog Day School, Group Classes, and Private Lessons.
For working dogs, they focus on producing high-quality Labrador Retrievers for single purpose detection (law enforcement), search and rescue, tracking, and performance sports. They provide puppies, green dogs, and pre-trained dogs for various working careers.
Their detection dog program involves keeping multiple puppies from their litters and buying promising puppies from field trial breeders to raise for this purpose. Throughout their first year, these puppies are exposed to a wide variety of different environments and footings, such as warehouses, barns, schools, boats, various vehicles, different homes, and kennels.
