Club DSS/ Kat the Dog Trainer -

Carroll Mueller

Our dogs enjoyed their week of boarding with Kat.and during this week our puppy received training from Kat. Our puppy came home with new skills and she is more obedient and well behaved from the training. I recommend Kat!

Kat was a great help in getting our year old Havanese thru the puppy stage and aiding my wife and I in techniques to train “Bitsie”.
We had a great deal of trouble with potty training, obedience, and leash walking. We boarded “Bitsie” with Kat while traveling at about 6 months and again for 10 days at about a year. The second session is when we saw the most improvement. We still need to practice the lessons we received and be more diligent, but we now have a puppy we can enjoy as a pet. When our next trip is scheduled we plan on calling on Kat for boarding and follow up training. Kat is now part of the family and we are greatfull we found her and her staff

Kat is a pet care giver in a league of her own! We fortunately discovered her shortly after becoming pupster parents to a now 3-year old Cavapoo-girl, Bearie. Kat is Bearie’s trainer and our go-to person for pupster-minding, day care and friendly boarding (not scary, institutional) when we need to be gone. She provides a nice balance of expectations and directions in a constructive way so there’s no intimidation, just loving attention. A significant bonus is her secure home in a gated community!

With years of professional experience you can relax knowing that your pet is in very good hands with Kat. I especially appreciate how approachable she is for subsequent questions I have about new or different topics related to understanding what to do next with Bearie when I’m fresh out of ideas.

Kat is quite observant and during training she often will suggest our follow-up work at home and will provide us some ‘cheat-sheets’ of tips to reinforce the learning. Often we may feel a need for Bearie to re-visit her so that Kat can reinforce some aspect of her training. It’s all done thoughtfully and in a caring way - exactly how we all hope for our pets.

An update: we forgot some of our training and called Kat with a request for support. She made us a priority and came over today so we could have a refresher. We're feeling more confident with her guidance and re-training of us (the humans) so we can enjoy the best of our dogs. Thank you, Kat!!

We recently added 2 canine kids to our household, a few short weeks before vacation. We didn’t know where to turn for their care until we learned about Kat. She put our minds at ease by offering us a board and train stay and the boys came home happy, eager to learn, and better behaved. We could not be more pleased and credit all to Kat. Thank you!

Kat was awesome. She stayed with our two dogs for almost a week while we were on vacation. In addition, in less that a week she worked with our 7-month old puppy to correct some bad behavior and added
some good behavior. We could not be happier with the results and with Kat's professionalism. Next time we are on vacation we will feel very comfortable with Kat at the lead.

Kat was so wonderful with my mom’s dog, Josie, but also with us! She made us feel very comfortable and at ease about her taking Josie for a few days to work on potty training, leash walking and stay and sit. Josie is not the easiest dog (extremely stubborn) but Kat did a great job with her and we could tell she puts her whole heart into her work and our dog 🙂

Kat is AMAZING. She helped me with my 10 month old Corgi & her nipping @ heels, walking on a leash as well as proper puppy interaction. I would recommend her to EVERYONE.

Kat is wonderful with our 2 year old malti poodle. We board our dog often and so happy that she welcomes her to their home. Kat also helped train her as a puppy and those commands are still effective today. We're so grateful for her dog whispering abilities.
