Testimonials
In 15 at-home sessions, Katie helped us integrate our puppy into our home with an older dog and overall behavior training for both. She prioritized their overall well being, behaviorally, emotionally, physically. Knowing the corrective measures she uses with the prong collars and e-collars have been vetted for safety and how it would impact our dogs gave me so much confidence. She transformed the way our dogs interact and their ability to handle stress. I cannot recommend her enough and will always be thankful for how she has cared for our pups!

We were so pleased with the results of the four-week day training program we put our puppy in. Katie, the lead trainer, is so compassionate and knowledgeable. Our dog can now be recalled on and off leash, “place” on her bed to be calm, and follow other helpful commands. The best part for me is the stress-free walks we can now enjoy together! I highly recommend Stateline Canine at Greensprings. It was an investment into ensuring the behavior that will allow our dog to accompany us everywhere – and she does!

If you’re looking for the results look no further! We took our 3 year old rescue to Stateline because walking her was an absolute disaster. Everything that moved she reacted to, even cars ! After a few weeks stay at Stateline the difference is unrecognizable! No more barking at the neighbors when we walk by, no more outbursts when she sees a squirrel, she even walks right next to me now ! I wouldn’t have been able to do this without Stateline and if you are struggling just like I was don’t hesitate to call and get help! If I could give them 10 stars I would. 10/10
