Living a joyful life with your dog is possible.

And understanding your dog inside and out is the first step to discovering it.

Kate Hendriks

As a dog trainer, Kate is on a mission to coach clients on how dogs think, learn and communicate with the world around them. Why does she do this? Without understanding who your dog is and what could be motivating your dog to do the things they do, dog owners often struggle with achieving realistic and meaningful solutions.

With the right knowledge and techniques, dog owners are more able to approach dog ownership and dog training with compassion, pragmatism and purpose.

Debby and Lila

“I was so thankful to find Kate to help me train Lila to not bolt when I walked her on the leash. She had already face-planted me a couple of times, and I needed that to not happen, or at least, be much less likely to happen. But Lila and I learned so much more than that. She learned that she liked doing what I asked her to do, and I learned to enjoy walking with my dog much more than before. I didn’t think I’d use some of the training that Kate taught us, but I’ve been surprised that those “tricks” have been useful at times. Lila has definitely learned more self-control.

Thank you, Kate, for your patience and thoroughness!"
