What Our clients Say



The combination of training and boarding was exactly what we needed for our puppy. Not only is our time with our Shuggie more enjoyable but we have been given the skills and tools to last a lifetime. Katrina’s knowledge, patience and flexibility made this process so much better than we ever anticipated. The way she was able to read our pups personality from the start is a true talent. Shuggie is her biggest fan and we love the peace of mind knowing she is always in good hands!

The Rock Star Program worked miracles for us with Wilson!!  Before the class, he had basic obedience classes and was becoming a hand full.  He was very difficult to control and we struggled every day with him.  After spending 3 weeks of boarding/training in your program, he is a fabulous, well behaved dog!  Your expertise and patience truly helped us gain the confidence and skills needed to help Wilson become this amazing dog! 

- Susan B.

I should start off by saying that when I showed my brother videos of my dog after he spent time training with Katrina, he said “what is she? Some kind of wizard?“ And I have to say, she is exactly that! . Katrina’s strategies are so easy to learn and incorporate into your daily routine. I was nervous and sad to send him somewhere to board for ten days, but Katrina made the process so easy and comfortable.  His progress was unbelievable!  THANK YOU Katrina!!
