Testimonials
My dog would go CRAZY on walks when she saw another dog, even from a block away. I was so overwhelmed, and scared! I didn’t know what to do! Kat was kind and consistent with Patty, allowing her to gain confidence that she didn’t have with us. Kat also helped US work with her so we could learn to trust each other. Now Patty can walk past other dogs normally and we enjoy our walks together. Even if she does react a little, we don’t freak out and she calms down almost immediately. I highly recommend RockStar Dogs for both dogs and humans.

Gone is the frustration and sense of not being in charge. We now have a dog that listens to us and is a wonderful member of our family.
The RockStar Dogs approach to training has been the perfect blend of intuition, fun and tough love. Kat helped ground my head-strong German Shepherd while maintaining her wonderful personality that we love so much. Kat explained our dog’s behaviors and motivations in a way that made sense and gave us what we needed to become better dog owners. Kat’s help in training our dog has been priceless!!
– Lisa R.
Rockstar Dogs is truly amazing!! Kat is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but her training is one of a kind! We chose her based on her experience as well as her true love for dogs. We chose to board and train Luka, our Miniature Golden Retriever, and through the Rockstar Dog Program she has improved dramatically and is truly becoming a very well behaved part of our family. What makes me so happy with Rockstar Dogs is not only this improvement in her training and behavior, but every time Luka goes for training, she runs to Kat and is so excited to see her. The comfort we feel leaving our sweet Luka with Kat is why I would never choose another place to train our dog. If you want a compassionate, knowledgeable and loving trainer, Rockstar dogs is the right fit- at least for us, this couldn’t be more true. Thank you Kat for taking such great care of our Luka!
