What are people saying about The EveryDay K9?

    Kathryn at The Every Day K9 is AMAZING! We sent our dog Cash there for a 2-week board and train, and the difference is night and day. Before his training, Cash had issues with jumping and recall, but Kathryn's techniques and dedication worked wonders. We've seen a tremendous improvement in his behavior which has made our daily lives much smoother and more enjoyable.

    We also leave Cash with Kathryn whenever we're out of town, and it's like his second home. He's always super excited to go there and comes back exhausted (in the best way), and always behaves even better than when we left him. We trust Kathryn to provide Cash with the care and attention he deserves.

    I honestly can't recommend Kathryn enough. Kathryn is professional easy to communicate with and always sends us cute photo and video updates when our dog is in her care. Kathryn clearly loves and understands dogs, and her remarkable training skills have truly made a significant difference in our and Cash's lives. If you're facing challenges with your dog or simply need a trustworthy place for boarding, look no further -- The Every Day K9 is THE place to go!

    Living downtown with a dog is a wonderful experience. Walking Bailey is a big part of my social interaction each day. You meet great people, and you meet so many fun dogs. One of the reasons I enjoy it so much is that my Bailey is very well behaved! Bailey is cute and small but would be very irritating to other dogs and their owners. She would run away from me, terrifying! Because of her size, I hesitated to have her trained but what a good decision! After working with Kathryn, she no longer jumps on people or other dogs, she stays by side and comes when I call. My walks are controlled and more relaxing. She sits at the crosswalks and waits for my command!

    I’m also a grandmother of three young boys. Because of Kathryn’s training, I am confident that Bailey will not jump on the boys or hurt them in any way. They play together all the time and are upset if she is not with me when I visit.

    People often comment about how nice it is to be around Bailey, a well behaved dog. Bailey is more relaxed and so am I. I look forward to being with her for a very long time. Kathryn’s training was a great investment. She is a skilled experienced trainer and is also very caring. Bailey loves her!

    I highly recommend The EveryDay K9!

    Before training with Kathryn, our dog Teddy had some major behavioral issues. He had begun to resource guard us, his owners. He did not understand boundaries around people but especially other dogs. As a bright dog who learns quickly, he knew many commands but did not comprehend "stop" and "stay." He was a leash puller and was always in control of walks outside.Teddy is a very strong dog with high energy, so these issues were becoming out of control.

    
As owners who want him to have the best quality of life, we were very frustrated and approaching our breaking point. We knew that if we didn't set him up for success as a puppy, he would not become the adult dog we knew he could be. 

    
After Teddy's board and train with Kathryn, he was a completely new dog behaviorally! He was still our goofy, sweet boy with a big personality but respected our authority and requests and had more confidence. He learned boundaries, no longer resource-guarded us (his owners), and was confident in the commands he already knew and the ones he learned while in training. His understanding of door manners, how to heel, the commands "come" and implied "stay," and how he carries himself as a young adult dog has been incredibly impactful and life-changing for him and us! 

    
If you're a dog owner on the fence about training, remember that you are investing in your dog's health, safety, happiness, and future. Our pets are not here forever, and it is our job to give them the best life we can while we have them! If you're looking to help your dog grow its confidence, respect and complete commands the first time you ask, and grow trust and joy between you and your pet then this IS the training for you. Kathryn is an incredible trainer with heaps of valuable experience and expertise who will start you on a path of success with your dog.
