Our pup had separation issues, resource guarding issues, and more. Kate always met our pup where he was. She was nimble and incorporated specific, detailed training as well as an implementation schedule for us to incorporate after each session. Kate has been a tremendous resource to our family. She brings the utmost professionalism and expertise and we will undoubtedly call on her again when behavior issues arise. |
