 "I took two of Kait's classes with my Newfoundland puppy Nora. Kait has a great practical knowledge of dog behavior and is full of encouragement and helpful tips. One thing that really impressed me was how many different solutions she has to a problem and how she will continue to work with you to find one that will work for you and your puppy. I have no hesitations recommending her to anyone."

"When I adopted my 4 month old puppy, she wasn't what I expected.  When she arrived from another State after a long flight, she was so scared she was frozen.  Medications were suggested.  I decided to avoid the Prozac route.  After four months of patience, she was beginning to move and trust me. So I decided to find a trainer, and I found Kait.  First off, Kait advised to "put her on the ground, she's a dog! Don't carry her". From then, we started a year long training journey.  Kait and her assistant, Panda showed patience with baby steps we made, Kait had a wide variety of training methods on which she could draw.  Gradually, my pup was able to move from between my legs, to sitting on my foot, to moving around, playing with other dogs and exploring.  Kait was always enthusiastic and positive.  Before long it was determined that Yazhi was becoming a real dog and has learned how to enjoy life.  Although,she isn't a dog who will run up to people, she also doesn't tremble when humans are close and she certainly does enjoy her days playing and training her person.
She has gone from frozen to earning her Canine Good Citizen certification."

"We love Kait! We have two lovable but shy puppies and our girls knew they could trust Kait as soon as she walked into the room to meet them for the first time. Kait just simply understands dogs and dogs respond to that right away. We are new puppy-raisers, but because of Kait's guidelines, we've been complimented many times for how well behaved the girls are. We still have a lot to work on and we'll keep going back to Kait every time we need help with training. She's the best!"

"After completing 2 classes with Kait (Puppy I and Puppy II), I have come to believe that Kait was a canine in a previous life!  Actually, I believe she was a variety of canines in a previous life because Kait has an uncanny ability to know why different breeds behave the way they do.  I have a Border Collie puppy named Denali, and Kait was quick to point out that though Border Collies are one of the smartest dogs, they are also one of the most difficult to train – which is exactly what my husband and I are discovering!  Yet we have, in fact, made enormous strides in teaching Denali to be a civilized member of our family.  Kait taught us ways to change Denali’s bad behavior that we would never have thought of on our own.  Kait gave us the skills that we continue to use every day.  Dog training doesn’t end when the dog obedience class ends.  It is on-going. 

Kait’s classes were always a lot of fun, besides being instructive.  We had almost as much fun as Denali who loved socializing with the other puppies!  Kait’s bubbly personality and creativity made every class different.   Whether her knowledge about all breeds of dogs stems from a previous life or not, Kait’s abilities as a teacher of dogs and their owners are quite exceptional."
