She takes the time to explain training methods clearly and works well with dogs of all ages and temperaments.

She emphasizes the importance of understanding when to be positive and when to be stern, helping owners set realistic expectations for their dogs. For example, she suggested alternative ways to manage digging, such as creating a designated digging area or using a plastic pool filled with play sand, instead of simply saying no.

Katerina is an OUTSTANDING dog trainer whom we have had the pleasure of working with our Alaskan Malamute, Willow. Katerina bonded with our Willow instantly and quickly customized a puppy training program for her and us. We were amazed to see how fast Willow learned to follow commands and how much we needed to stick to the training plan she designed.
In addition to her technical expertise, Katerina is reliable, friendly, communicative, and always willing to go the extra mile to help both Willow and us succeed. Her training fees, patience, professionalism, and genuine love for dogs set her apart from all other trainers we researched for help.

katerina was great. Our dog was getting into some trouble, and she was helpful and informative in teaching us how to stop the behaviors. She was more than accommodating and got back to ys in a very timely manner!
Katerina came to our home to help us with some behavioral challenges we were having with our Jack Russell Terrier and two adult Shelties, and she was absolutely amazing.
