In addition to earning a certification in training and counseling from the Academy for Dog Trainers, Katy brings strong people skills and a warm, approachable style to every client interaction.
Dog training is an unregulated industry; this means anyone can call themselves a dog trainer. Just like having teeth is not sufficient criteria for a dentist, a formal education is also what you should look for in a dog trainer.
And because it’s unregulated, transparency is key. I will never rely on pain or force to effect behavior change. Learning should never hurt.
