"Kata gives the dogs her undivided attention even though there are several dogs in the class.  She takes the time to talk with you about your concerns, and then help you achieve your goals and overcome any obstacles you may be having.  I have noticed a huge improvement in my dog, and I also noticed that I am more assertive with my dog during training."

Angela and Charlie from Stoneham, MA



"We took our brand new puppy to Kata's puppy class and were very pleasantly surprised at how much we got out of it.  Kata does a great job being firm but fun, and brought each of the puppies (well, ok, really the owners) a long way.  She's a wonderful person and the class was also a lot of fun."

Sophie, Kristen, Leo and Jupiter from Swampscott, MA



"Kata has been wonderful.  She knows how to train dogs in a positive manner no matter what language you or your dog speaks.  She makes all the dogs comfortable from the wired terriers to the scared Shih-Tzu's.  It has been a pleasure working with her."

Leesa and Dolce from Wakefield, MA
