Well they say "old dogs can't learn new tricks." That's not true with High Ten Dog Training and Kate. My dog is 9 years old and was starting to regressing on our walks. As a last resort, I decided he needed some training. Kate was amazing! She was patient and kind and personable and my dog absolutely adored her. He wanted to be on his best behavior with her. Kate taught me how to manage his stress on walking and making them more pleasurable. It's like night and day! I'm so happy with my experience. read more

High Ten Dog Training - Pet Training Near Me

Kate was fantastic at giving my husband and I tips and tricks we could put into action right away to train our new bulldog rescue Freddy. Each session came with a recap, and videos to be able to refer back to. She listens and truly builds each lesson around the owner needs while working with the dog's personality. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Kate has done wonders with our dog Zindy! Zindy has/had 3 issues we wanted to address: chasing after anything on wheels; trying to escape when we were leaving the house; when she succeeds in escaping we have to resort to tricks and maneuvers to catch her. After 3 one hour sessions Zindy has nailed one of these and has vastly improved on the others. Kate is a joy to work with, understands dog behavior, and offers alternatives if one strategy isn't sufficient. We highly recommend her! read more

Amazing is an understatement. Kate has been so incredible to work with and has given us so many tools to help navigate reactivity challenges, particularly barking. The craziest improvement was going from uncontrollable barking in response to even the slightest sound from the hallway in our apartment building to virtually no reaction at all. We also live in a very populated area with lots of other dogs, and Kate has helped so much with managing barking in what our dog perceives as stressful situations. She is TRULY the best, and we would recommend her over and over! read more

Kate was excellent and very professional. She helped us with our new lab puppy, both in terms of helping us train the dog, but more importantly, in terms of helping us learn how to do it ourselves. We're on track for a great family dog! read more

Kate is great! We hired her primarily for dealing with our two pups' on leash manners around other dogs but she has also helped us with other issues including recall, crate training and greeting guests. Kate has a great rapport with both dogs and humans and is super organized and professional. Booking lessons is easy using her website and she provides helpful post-lesson summaries with links and additional resources. It's clear she loves what she does and that's a big part of what makes her so good at her job! We will continue to engage Kate's services for our pups! read more

Kate was extremely helpful in helping me understand my new dog's anxious and fearful behavior with strangers, and teaching me tools to help her become more comfortable and confident. Kate is thorough and empathetic, and knows the right questions to ask to get the full picture of your dog's behavior. She is knowledgeable about new dog behavior research, and really helps you to understand why your dog may be acting a certain way so you can approach the situation effectively. read more

We just finished puppy manners course with Kate and she is excellent! She is super responsive and resourceful and provided the individualized and focused training that our puppy needed. The puppy stage can feel so difficult at times because of all the different training methods out there but Kate helped us walk through the best and most effective methods and we saw great improvement! Highly recommend and looking forward to working with Kate again! read more

Kate is the best! She came to our home fully prepared (thanks to an extremely smart pre-appointment intake form), was exceptionally warm and caring with our dog, and most importantly: she recommended specific action items to address our dog's less desirable behaviors. She even followed up after our session with a written summary of the issues we identified and next steps for each. Highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for help with their dog. Thank you Kate! read more

My dog has never been more well behaved and positively interacting with other dogs and people since spending time with Kate. She is quickly responsive and was able to accommodate my busy schedule. Look no further, you have a pro with Kate. High Ten gets a high 10 in my book! read more

High Ten Dog Training - Devi and Shug - Pet Training Near Me

Kate is the best! We have a very stubborn five-year-old English Bulldog with a myriad of fun issues, from leash reactivity towards other dogs (and we live in a high rise elevator building!!) to demand barking to barking whenever he hears any noise at all in the hallway. Kate helped work with our dog, starting with where he was at, and really helped us understand what we needed to do to help him learn coping skills so he didn't need so much input from us to get by. Kate definitely knows her stuff when it comes to dog behavior, and we feel so lucky to have gotten to learn so much from her. And her methods are working - we've noticed a huge difference in our pup's behavior over just a short month, with issues I thought we would just have to be content with dealing with forever. I can't recommend Kate enough if you have a dog who needs a little help. :) read more

We took Kate's 4 week puppy course and found it so incredibly helpful! She easily tailored every class to fit our specific needs. I can't recommend her enough to anyone with a new puppy. read more

I enrolled my five month old pup in Kate's puppy manners course and it is 100% for sure that we will be continuing with private lessons. On top of this course being super well priced, convenient (done in my backyard, scheduling online, payment online), Kate is also super informative, patiently answered all my first-time dog owner/nervousness questions and was an absolute pro with my pup, who is a cautious little guy but warmed up to her immediately. She provided so many techniques and insights on how to provide/train my pup with the foundations, but also sent a chart with everything we learned, additional resources and notes for my pup to grow in his training. Seriously, I enjoyed this experience so much and I am excited to continue with Kate! read more

Kate is absolutely AMAZING. she is so kind and patient and truly understands dogs. I didn't think we had any hope for our little guy but she helped him immensely and we are eternally grateful for her! Will most definitely be keeping her number for future assistance. Highly, highly recommend!!! read more

Kate is absolutely fantastic! We were referred to her and did a 3 pack of private sessions for our sweet Boston Terrier, Cannoli. She really helped us focus on what we were struggling with and each session helped grow our training more. Definitely already see an improvement and looking forward to working with her again soon! read more

I've had a great experience working with Kate! I've scheduled a few in-person session and a virtual session with her to work on commands and separation anxiety with my adorable but difficult terrier pup. Kate is extremely responsive and reliable, and she both works to understand my dog and my lifestyle as well as give step-by-step, doable exercises and techniques. She's super knowledgeable, honest, and never pushy when it comes to scheduling more sessions. She gets a 10/10 from me! read more

I have an incredibly anxious rescue dog, Kate was able to provide training activities to help him adapt and give us a lot of insight into his behavior. She is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced and was able to give us substantial insight into our dog even with it being on Zoom! Highly recommend to anyone that is looking for some dog training/ dog behavioral information. read more

I was familiar with Kate's techniques from her book, but my wife and I needed some one-on-one help with our dog's leash pulling and general over excitement. Kate came to our home and showed us several techniques that fit our needs and our experience level (which is about zero) perfectly. She was extremely patient and didn't try to force us or our dog to do anything we were uncomfortable with. By the end of the lesson, my wife and I felt like we had a much healthier way of communicating with our dog, and we still refer to Kate's follow-up notes often. read more

We had a series of sessions with Kate over the course of our first 8months with our pup. We adopted our dog at 3.5months and needed additional, specialized training on top of basic manners. Our pup had separation issues, resource guarding issues, and more. Kate always met our pup where he was. She was nimble and incorporated specific, detailed training as well as an implementation schedule for us to incorporate after each session. Kate has been a tremendous resource to our family. She brings the utmost professionalism and expertise and we will undoubtedly call on her again when behavior issues arise. read more
