"Katrina worked with our two golden retrievers during a short visit to family. Our primary goal was teaching our 9-month-old pup to walk properly on a leash, follow basic commands, be respectful of other dogs & people, etc. while also refreshing our older dog's training. I'm beyond impressed with Katrina's positive reinforcement methods and her ability to handle complex scenarios. Her expertise shines through in every situation, regardless of the dog or challenge. Katrina's professionalism and upbeat attitude made each training session both informative and enjoyable. Despite our tight schedule, she adapted wonderfully to our needs. The results are remarkable: our younger pup now responds to 'out,' 'come,' and 'leave it' commands—areas where she previously struggled. Her leash walking has also improved tremendously.
As owners of field golden retrievers, we face unique challenges due to their high energy and working dog nature. Katrina's approach emphasizes smart at-home reinforcement and maintaining positive energy during training, which makes the process enjoyable for both dogs and humans alike. I can't recommend Katrina highly enough. Her methods are effective, her knowledge is comprehensive, and her passion for dog training is evident in every interaction. If you're looking for a trainer who can deliver results while keeping the experience fun and engaging, Katrina is the perfect choice.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"
