ABOUT ME
My name is Kate Anderson and I have been a full time professional dog trainer since 2017. I am certified through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers as both a Trainer and a Behavior Consultant. As of December 2022 there are only 7 certified Behavior Consultants in Los Angeles and I am one of them! My multiple certifications are a commitment to continuing education, and the practice of science-based and humane dog training. I follow the guidelines put forth by the Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) behavior intervention policy and the Humane Hierarchy . I am a force free trainer, and I do not use fear or intimidation to communicate with any being!
I believe dog training is about more than training obedience. I aim to help people build solid loving relationships with their canine companions. I teach management and positive reinforcement training methods that prioritize a two-way communication between dog and human. I want to be a supportive resource and guide for dogs and their humans on their journey to clearer understanding of each other. Choice and consent are key components of any training plan I create, always with the goal of deepening the trust between you and your pup.
