More Details

To attend graduation, your dog must have a solid and proofed recall that was learned during our training sessions together.

Your dog must comply with your commands even if you drop the leash outside – your dog cannot run away from you. Each program on average takes 3 months to complete. 

Unlike group training sessions, private training allows for personalized attention.

Kate starts by gathering essential information about your dog’s behavior and your relationship with them.

Based on this, she develops an appropriate and effective training plan for you to follow.

Soul-Based Approach: Kate’s training philosophy is rooted in a deep understanding of dog behavior and psychology. She emphasizes concepts like freedom, consent, acceptance, unity, empowerment, patience, loyalty, and respect. This soul-based relationship approach ensures both you and your dog thrive.

Ethical and Science-Based Techniques: Pawz-tive Dog Training follows methods and techniques that are humane, compassionate, reliable, and backed by the latest scientific studies. Kate coaches not only the dog but also the owner to achieve total success.

Owner Empowerment: Kate believes in empowering owners to give clear direction and guidance to their dogs. By working together, they set both the owner and the dog up for success.

Involved & Supportive

We work with all members of the family and encourage owners to reach out  for continued support. Kate will guide you in the right direction when it comes to managing behaviors between in-person training sessions. Every program comes with remote and online support for one month every session you book. 

Environment Specific

We train to ensure long-term success. Each dog is unique and Kate will formulate a program with notes and instructions that is the right fit for you and your dog. Expect to work on overcoming environmental and social stress with every training program. 

Flexible Scheduling

The most we meet clients for sessions is once a week. Typically we suggest once or twice a month for private training sessions. We want to help without breaking your bank. Our prices start at $95.00 per session and range up to $195.00 depending on the program you decide to choose for your dog. It costs $250.00 to sign up. 

Results & Goal Oriented

A good dog trainer is going to answer your questions before you have the opportunity to ask them. With individualized instruction there is much more opportunity for learning to occur as opposed to training your dog in a group setting.

Private training begins with submitting a training application and booking a phone consultation (optional) where the objective is to obtain a behavior history of your dog and evaluate the relationship between you and your dog. In gathering all the essential information together Kate can begin developing a appropriate and effective training plan for you to follow.
