Kate is wonderful! She really takes the time to find out about your dog, the behaviors you want to work on, and then tailors the training to your abilities and situation. She sends a thorough review after each visit, with suggestions for further reading and videos to watch to help with your training. I'm so pleased at the progress our dog Penny has made in just three months! I also appreciate Kate's humane approach (no prong collars or e-collars).
