“Kate has been instrumental in helping us with tools to support, and strengthen our bond with, our reactive and anxious dog. We have worked in-person with Kate through 10 in-person sessions over the past 10 months, and she has always helped us to feel supported and educated through what has been a long and stressful journey to help our dog. Every training strategy has been backed by education about our dog's biology, which was lacking from previous trainers we've worked with, and she has always provided a "why" behind every method she's taught us to use. Kate goes above and beyond to support her clients and has also provided additional communication outside of our in-person sessions, answering any questions we have with thoroughness and care. Thanks to Kate we have truly seen the results of our hard work in our dog's improved behavior and happiness. We cannot recommend her enough.”

“I’d highly recommend working with Kate!! Her passion for dogs and personable nature makes sessions engaging and enjoyable. She has a tremendous depth of knowledge with extensive experience. She has helped my chocolate lab through his puppy stages with basic obedience such as heel walking, to helping him overcome his fear-based reactivity. The best part of all she has taught ME the skills that help my pup live a happy, stress-free life all the way into adulthood. 10/10 would recommend!!!”

“If you want your dog to sit, stay, come, walk, go to their bed, with with a smile on their face and yours, call Kate! She is friendly, efficient, and effective. I can finally have friends and family over without my dogs jumping on them and I enjoy taking them for walks again. Best doggy investment ever!”

“Kate is the best dog trainer I've worked with. Initially we were concerned about doing dog training over Zoom, but by the end of the first session we were convinced that it was going to be very informative and effective. Our belief was reinforced with each subsequent session. Kate's guidance, patience and kindness has blown us away. She always has an answer that works for our puppy, from nipping to jumping to leash training. Needless to say, I highly recommend Kate Anderson!”

“We got our puppy River (a black lab pit mix) at Christmas and I can't imagine what our lives would have been like without Kate Anderson! We hired Kate to do one on one sessions with our girl in our home, and we simply can't say enough wonderful things about her - she is so knowledgeable and excellent with our (very) hyperactive pup. Her patience and kindness was inspiring, and her guidance and advice has helped us SO MUCH. There were times in the first few weeks of having River where we were completely lost and at our wits' end, and Kate really helped us come through that hard time. And also she's a lovely person! I HIGHLY recommend bringing her into your home to help with your pup, of any age. You'll be so glad you did!”

“We got so lucky with Kate Anderson as our trainer. She was patient, communicative, responsive, fun, and Prince absolutely loves her. What I love about her training style is the emphasis on rewarding good behavior rather than focusing on discipline and punishment. I think this is so important in building trust, especially with puppies.

We had several private training classes with Kate, where she came to our apartment to work with Prince one on one. It was amazing to watch him learn and pick up good habits so quickly, specifically how to sit quietly in a travel carrier, walk on a leash, and not bark when people enter or leave the apartment. She talked us through any questions or concerns we had and gave us the tools to set Prince up for success. I could not recommend Kate enough!”

“We enrolled our puppy in the kindergarten class- and that was the best amount of money spent. Kate helped our puppy socialize and it's great. We never worry how he will be around another dog even if that dog is aggressive. Our dog completely has the confidence in himself he needs. He also learned basic foundation training. This time with Kate and in kindergarten has changed our lives for the better. We were able to talk to other puppy owners and have that community for questions. Groomers and his vet always compliment how calm and well behaved he is. We know it's because of lessons he learned during that course. We also learned about ourselves as owners and how to communicate with our puppy.”
