Kate is our everything. We have had such a hard time with our sweet yet fearfully/aggressive puppy (Stranger Danger in our apt is our issue).
Kate is the consummate professional. She is a remarkably responsive, experienced, thorough, detailed, and supportive Trainer. She is clearly an expert and was suggested to us by another esteemed trainer because of her fear/aggression expertise. Kate’s extensive experience is evidenced with her endless suggestions whenever there is an obstacle-and we have had many! Her commitment is so far beyond what I could hope for or even expect. Her profound knowledge extends to every arena of dog ownership and her love of the animals is quite clear. She provides tough love when we need it, and is completely reasonable about real life, unlike suggestions we have received from one of our past vets. And we appreciate that tremendously as we know she is giving us honest answers and that’s the only way trust is built.
At first I thought the pricing seemed a little high considering it was via Zoom, but when I experienced how much access you have to Kate and her expertise and that you can actually make material progress via zoom and with her support-I’ve come to realize she is under-charging-but thank you Kate! Kate fortunately already had a web based option prior to the pandemic-as she works with clients and trainers worldwide-so, we have been incredibly fortunate to benefit from her having that set up and not having to struggle through that with her!
With an issue like Stranger Danger-it’s quite difficult to manage and progress at. We had been working on this for 3 months prior with others (who in their defense encouraged us to see the expert-Kate-and we ignored that until things had escalated to the point our other trainer who was great-told us we needed to see Kate).
Kate has helped support/teach/train us to effectively do that and see substantial progress in the month we have been working with her. She has already helped with countless other issues as well and we can see a real difference in our puppy’s anxiety and training.
She seamlessly works with our Behavioral Vet to help facilitate the training part of it and leaves the meds part to the trusted Vet. We truly feel like we have a team working with us and firmly believe we will resolve our issues which we have had concerns we would not be able to overcome in the past.
We are now beyond loyal to Kate and are immeasurably grateful for her!
