Keenly Canine

 

 

Oliver and I loved puppy kindergarten!  Although he already knew some basic commands we learned so much more.  It gave both of us the confidence to continue learning and refine the training to become successful.  Ollie was always excited to attend class, once we got through the front door his tail wagged all the way to our trainer Kate.  She is extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and training, we also enjoyed how kind, patient and approachable she is!

Kate’s puppy class is excellent!  I had never taken a dog so young through a class before and I was impressed with Kate’s knowledge and patience.  I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

Kate’s class was so much fun.  She provides a ton of interesting reading material, and knowledge.  She is very kind and encouraging.  She knows a lot about different breeds, and different ways to train them.  Since her class, friends and family have noticed how much better behaved Bonnie is.  Bonnie loved Kate and loved going to class.

Taking Basic Obedience from Keenly Canine was a great experience for me and my 1 year old labradoodle, Bella.  The concepts and exercises we learned and practiced have helped our bond grow stronger, our relationship become more respectful and trusting, and our playtime become more playful!  I would highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to work as a team with your dog to successfully learn basic commands.

We found the class very helpful and informative, even as past dog owners. Two of the most helpful commands have been the “collar” command and the “watch me command”. Our dog knows that she must make eye contact to get an “okay” before she can go out the door or start eating.  So nice to have a dog with good manners. Thanks again!

 A.J. blossomed during the basic obedience class!    We are using something Kate taught us at least once a day.   With the small class size, Kate was able to help owners address their dog's specific behavior issues such as acts of aggression, jumping on people, fear, etc.    All the dogs responded to her and learned easily with her training methods.  I appreciate the positive, humane, non-violent methods that Kate uses for training -- no choke or shock collars, just positive reinforcement.    The class was a great value, too -- worth every penny and more.

   The Basic Obedience Training was a great experience!  Kate's classes provided us with information about how dogs learn, think, and react to different situations. During class, Kate demonstrated how to use positive reinforcement to teach our dog how to be calm and obedient. Then the dog owners practiced the techniques with their dog.  Each week we were given research based articles to read and a homework assignment.

Our dog, Yukon, responded well to the class, enjoyed being challenged intellectually, and loved Kate!  Because of the  class,  our communication and relationship with our dog have improved.  We practice every day and sometimes visit Kate. Yukon is so excited to see her!

We highly recommend this class to anyone.

  My daughter and I took Kate's agility class with our one year old Border Collie. We thoroughly enjoyed the class and have learned a lot. Kate had fun activities that improved discipline, communication, and was also challenging. This was a great class for people interested in learning about dog agility.

Austin loved intro to agility!  He was quite a rowdy puppy when we took the class, but now people comment on how calm he is.  He benefitted from the impulse control exercises especially, and trying the agility equipment was his favorite part!

This class was a fun experience for both me and my dog, I learned so much about communicating with my dog and how to teach her in a fun positive way! This class was perfect for preparing me to pursue agility with my dog in the future!

I signed my dog Lucy up for Kate's beginning agility class with the goal of working on our relationship, and practicing my positive dog training skills. I loved that Kate's class focused on positive dog training methods, a natural byproduct of which is a stronger, more in-tune working relationship with my animal partner.

Lucy thrived in the class. It was amazingly gratifying to see how much confidence she had in me, and in herself, as she tackled the wobble board without any hesitation. I throughly enjoyed Kate's class and look forward to taking another, with Lucy a second time, or maybe next time a different canine family member.

Fun, fun, fun…Getting Ready For Agility taught my puppy and I  how to have fun while learning patience and better communication. This class helped me better understand what it means to be a good dog handler while my puppy had fun showing off newly acquired skills like shadow handling and teeter board.   All in all a great experience for us both.

What a great introduction to agility class!  Thanks  Kate for showing me how to have so much fun with my dog Dodge! You gave me easy to follow instructions that allowed me to teach Dodge new fun skills.  Dodge loved your class and we learned new skills by playing some really fun games. I found it very helpful that you were able to give each student individual attention when one of us had a question or we needed some extra guidance from you. You made it fun for everyone.

Thanks,

Tammy & Dodge

 
 
The beginners agility class did a great job preparing both my dog and myself for Novice agility class. It really put us ahead of the game as everything we learned was necessary to know to become a successful in competition.
Thanks Kate!
