Lisa and Matt contacted us for help with their young and energetic working-line German Shepherd, Bear.
With two young kids in the house, a senior Chocolate Lab, and a busy lifestyle, they needed extra help training Bear so they could enjoy him instead of feeling frustrated.
They enrolled Bear in our 8-week Freedom From the Leash program to improve his obedience and build reliable off-leash skills.
Bear was a wonderful young dog who simply did not know how to calm down. Many young, high-energy breeds struggle with learning how to switch off and relax, even when they receive plenty of exercise.
We taught Bear how to relax through calm-on-command exercises, improve his leash walking, and enjoy new freedom through safe off-leash training.

“Katherine is hands down the best dog trainer we have ever met, and we have met many over the years.
She loves dogs and they love her! She transformed our crazy, strong-willed German Shepherd puppy into an amazing family dog we can finally enjoy.
If you want the best, you need Katherine! She is wonderful to work with and goes above and beyond to help you succeed. I would give 10 stars if I could.”
