Testimonials
I had both my Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs in Basic and Intermediate class with Kate. She is a great trainer; she uses positive methods and encourages both the owners and the dogs whilst making clear what is needed for the dog to improve.
is the most wonderful trainer. I’ve known her for over 25 years. She’s a true dog whisperer in my opinion. She truly understands dogs and how they see the world. There isn’t any problem she can’t solve with concrete ideas.
I took four classes with Kate because I became the parent of two male Lab puppies who are six weeks apart.I had worked with Kate many years ago and appreciated her style of training. Kate was as kind and gentle with me as she was with my dogs
