We had a great session with Lizzie! I feel more confident in training Flynn on recall and that we are on the right path for a well trained dog.

Dog Training Graduation
Kate was a great trainer. Meli already knew some of the concepts in the class, but Kate always gave us modifications to help her learn the next level of a command so that she was engaged in each class.

Excellent class and we had a wonderful time.

In home dog training
We had one in home session and I saw results after because I was consistent with the lessons I learned from Jamie. She was great and I plan on using her again!
Rona D. with Hunter

We had a great experience. I have quite a bit of experience training dogs and taught our Bigi basic obedience. I had never done agility and was interested to learn about it. I learned a lot and it was great for Bigi as well.

I was truly impressed by Kate’s enthusiasm, patience, and warmth throughout all of the group classes and our additional private lesson. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any fellow dog owners.

Very enjoyable experience, helped us feel we were on the right track. It was good to go over everything we are doing with someone, and voice struggles we have with behavior. We also enjoyed learning from Lizzie and her pet, by seeing tricks, and also having her watch us with our dog. We also have to note that it was amazing to be able to set up an appointment so easily, and meet with someone so quickly online — this was an excellent feature, thank you!
