Five stars (I’d give more if I could!) for Rescued by Training. Can’t recommend it enough.
I worked with Kate after adopting my first pup, Bosco, when he started showing signs of aggression with people in the apartment. She was a GODSEND. I’d tried working with two trainers prior to Kate, but I had very little results before working with Kate.
As a first-time dog owner, I had a million questions; on top of her well of knowledge and experience, she is so patient, helpful, supportive, and understanding. Even working virtually, after just the intake session, I learned so much about dog behavior and training and was already seeing improvements with Bosco.
Her help extended way beyond just basic training and commands; Kate provided multiple resources for kong recipes, enrichment activities, new games, and fun ways to exercise Bosco’s brain and work his natural doggy instincts (German Shepherd, too smart for his own good), even online classes and videos to better understand dog’s body language so I could understand his playing style at the dog park. I hadn’t even considered a lot of these options, and it was a huge bonus!
After my pup started showing aggression towards me, Kate was always available— texting and emailing, offering advice at every step of the way. When it became a decision of whether or not to surrender Bosco, she was incredibly helpful in laying out what all my options were with treatments, medicines, and timelines moving forward, and provided guidance with both outcomes so that I had all the information to make the best decision for my dog and myself. Having to surrender Bosco was not easy by any means, but certainly was a lot easier with Kate’s help. She still checked in afterwards, making sure everything was ok, which was really sweet.
Was such a pleasure working with you Kate, thank you for everything!
