Private Training
Whether you have a few behavioral issues to discuss, or just want to do some basic training, I'd love to help.
We can do anything from a
one-shot half-hour Zoom consult,
to a series of in-person
training sessions.

(Available to Alexandria locals)
60-minute session

Three 60-minute
in-person sessions
$250 total
Zoom Sessions:
30 minutes = $50

Location:
We can get together on Zoom (surprisingly helpful, truly), or in person at your house, my house, a park, etc. There are benefits to each!
Frequency:
We can meet as often as you want! Just once, or every week, or whenever you feel you'd like a refresher.
Family members:
We can work one-on-one,
or involve the whole family
in the training session.
What my clients say ...
Most fun and meaningful training I have ever enjoyed with a puppy. It's wraparound puppy training/care!
-- Jennifer Casey (Jerome's mom)
What a difference! Even after one session we felt like we could see how to go forward with our pup, when before it felt overwhelming.
-- Patty Lister (Cookie's mom)
Kathy not only gets dogs, she gets people too. She has this remarkable ability to tap into what's going on between you and your dog. Highly, highly recommend.
-- Erin Lepore (Goldie's mom)
I cannot imagine surviving those early months without Kathy's patience, guidance and expertise. Our whole family benefitted from her advice and tips.
-- Anna Lenhart (Ruthie's mom)
Kathy's knowledge, experience and positive approach are reassuring and empowering for puppies and their humans alike!"
-- Eileen Friedman (Maisie's mom)
Every dog that meets Kathy (and her family) is the better for it! Training with her is an enriching journey for dog and pet parent alike.
-- Monica Siniff (Luna's mom)
We were going about the training process all wrong! After one Zoom session with Kathy, we feel much better equipped to work with our pup and ensure our family is on the same page.
-- Bekah Jewell (Rory's mom)
From learning how to reinforce recall to teaching my kids games and challenges to make training fun, we gained such valuable tips from Kathy.
-- Stacie Zawistoski (Daisy's mom)
Kathy was so fun to work with, and she made me feel optimistic about training our pup!
-- Molly Murchie (Phoebe's mom)
The positive training methods I learned from Kathy helped our whole family bond and enjoy our puppy more than we could have imagined.
-- Lisa Rutherford (Scout's mom)
Kathy gave us confidence in what we were already doing and practical ideas for things we hadn't tried. We use her tips daily, months later!
