In-Home Training Sessions
Kathi’s specialty is helping people and their dogs in their own home environment. This is especially beneficial where families with children are involved. Everyone in the family can participate with training while being coached individually on the spot. This insures that the information is understood and put into practice with Kathi ready to assist as needed.
Addressing specific needs where problem behaviors happen gives the owner the skills to immediately apply them successfully and work out the ‘kinks’ with supportive guidance. The dogs quickly learn their people now control all the games. Utilizing the scientifically proven successful training methods of operant, classical and counter-conditioning and by learning some basic dog body language, people are able to achieve better behavior from their dogs by clearly communicating what is the reinforce-able behavior at the same time building a solid relationship of trust and mutual respect.
