Kat is a pet care giver in a league of her own! We fortunately discovered her shortly after becoming pupster parents to a now 3-year old Cavapoo-girl, Bearie. Kat is Bearie’s trainer and our go-to person for pupster-minding, day care and friendly boarding (not scary, institutional) when we need to be gone. She provides a nice balance of expectations and directions in a constructive way so there’s no intimidation, just loving attention. A significant bonus is her secure home in a gated community! With years of professional experience you can relax knowing that your pet is in very good hands with Kat. I especially appreciate how approachable she is for subsequent questions I have about new or different topics related to understanding what to do next with Bearie when I’m fresh out of ideas. Kat is quite observant and during training she often will suggest our follow-up work at home and will provide us some ‘cheat-sheets’ of tips to reinforce the learning. Often we may feel a need for Bearie to re-visit her so that Kat can reinforce some aspect of her training. It’s all done thoughtfully and in a caring way - exactly how we all hope for our pets.

I had the pleasure of working with Coach Kat, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with her expertise and professionalism. Kat was able to identify the root of my dog's behavior issues and provided me with the tools and knowledge to address them effectively. She was patient, kind, and passionate about her work, which made the entire experience enjoyable and rewarding. Her techniques were effective and humane, and I could see a significant improvement in my dog's behavior after just a few sessions. Kat also provided ongoing support and guidance, which was extremely helpful in maintaining the progress we had made. I highly recommend Kat to anyone who is seeking a professional and effective dog trainer. She is truly a master of her craft and I cannot thank her enough for all that she has done for my beloved pet.

Kat is just wonderful. I have a 6 year old 8-lb, mini poodle/bichon - adopted when he was 2. A loving dog but lots of challenges due to being nervous and lack of confidence (I think), barking at everything and everyone. Kat has now worked with him for a few weeks and he's a changed dog. He listens a lot better and is able to walk past people and other dogs without losing his mind. We are still working on things but the major improvements thus far is truly amazing. Kat has also trained me so that I'm in charge, not the dog. :) If you need help, go to KAT! I recommend her 500%.

Kat was awesome. She stayed with our two dogs for almost a week while we were on vacation. In addition, in less that a week she worked with our 7-month old puppy to correct some bad behavior and added some good behavior. We could not be happier with the results and with Kat's professionalism. Next time we are on vacation we will feel very comfortable with Kat at the lead.

Kat was absolutely amazing with my 9 month old puppy. During their training sessions she was able to engage my dog quickly and each day he came home sharing his positive results! He bonded quickly with Kat and seemed genuinely happy to see her each session. I have been able to continue the work that Kat has begun at my home and plan on using Kat for her other services that she provides. It can be very scary to leave your new family member in the hands of someone else. You don't have to feel that way with Kat; she becomes their extended family and friend! I highly recommend her!!

Kat has had such a positive impact on our lives because of her training with our dog Pancake. I have never had large dogs in my life and having an English lab was very intimidating. From the very start, Kat clearly outlines how to be successful: what works and what doesn’t. Kat continued to help us even after we finished “basic training”. As certain traits emerged as she grew, Kat was able to give us an outline on how to stop bad behaviors before they become habits. Kat helped train a dog that we can love \\u0026 play with dearly, but behaves so well we can both enjoy our lives without worrying about her constantly. We trust her to watch Pancake at her house for when we’re out of town on vacation. She also trains the dog while you’re away, such an awesome plus!! I highly recommend Kat to anyone in need of dog training, but be warned you must put in the work to see results!

Kat was very responsive to all calls and was super flexible with when we were dropping off our 6-month old dachshund puppy. She was incredibly friendly and took great care of our “son.” I would highly recommend Kat for anyone needing a place to house their pup for the weekend and/or needing their pup to receive some serious training.

I have been sending my puppy to Kat for sitting/training regularly for about 9 months now. She is very personable and was a big help with training our pup to break some of those bad puppy habits like nipping. She is very friendly and personable and our dog loves spending time with her! I highly recommend her to anyone needing someone trustworthy and knowledgeable to work with your dog.

Kat is AMAZING. She helped me with my 10 month old Corgi & her nipping @ heels, walking on a leash as well as proper puppy interaction. I would recommend her to EVERYONE.

Kat is amazing! I have a 3 month pup and was struggling with a couple of things (ripping up puppy pads, not coming on command, etc.) In just one week, Kat fixed all those issues!! She asks what our main goals are and succeeds at it! Plus, she keeps us updated on how training is. No more having to pick up tiny pieces of ripped puppy pads!

Kat is very knowledgeable and sweet. She took the time to train our dog for the two weeks we set aside for her to do so. Our dog is 6 1/2 months old and she is a German Shepherd. We are very pleased with the results we got. It’s almost as if she traded our dog for a well behaved dog. ?. We thought we would need a follow up when we left with our dog, but it has turned out that we don’t think we will need a follow up. if you’re looking for a dog trainer, Kat is the one you should choose. She is well worth the money, which really wasn’t a lot compared to what we received. Thank you Kat!
