Prior to working with Kate we were dealing with a reactive dog who would lose it at the sight of any other dog, no matter the size or breed. This happened after he was attacked by an off leash dog. We dealt with reactive behavior for over a year until we decided to seek professional help. From the begging Kate seemed confident we could make positive changes if we put in the time and work. We chose the 8 training sessions. I def feel like we got our moneys worth! Each week we worked to teach our dog new commands that were easy and effective. Within a week we started to see positive changes. Kate helped us teach our dog that not all dogs are a threat and how to manage his behavior if he decided to react to other dogs near us. We worked hard to train each day and made the most out of our 8 sessions. I can honestly say that our walks are so much more enjoyable with and we have learned how to communicate properly with the dogs so that we are all on the same page. Our boy seems so much more confident when he is around other dogs. It’s seriously like night and day. If you’re considering working with a behavioral specialist for your dog I would encourage you to work with Kate if you wanna see results. She has truly been a godsend and we are thankful that we found her. A plus is that we used all the techniques she taught us with our female dog who is stubborn as hell. She has gained confidence and seems to enjoy our training time together. She actually does better than our boy. All in all 10/10 experience.

Kate is GREAT!! She made training enjoyable. We were impressed with her approach to training and understanding of dogs - and how to train us to create the good results. She made us confident of Roxy's ability to learn as long as we are persistent and consistent. Thank you, Kate!!

Kate worked with my 6 month old puppy for several lessons, both with and without me present. Myself and the pup learned so much. I really appreciate her gentle and effective approach to dog training. We quickly figured out new commands, what should be expected of the dog and when she should be given grace. Incredibly professional and knowledgeable! Highly recommend for the Jacksonville and Atlantic Beach area. Accommodated our schedule well and always placed safety as the highest priority.

I rescued a eight month old Rottweiler from a rescue that I have worked with previously. When he first came to me, we started realizing the people that “found him“ had not treated him the way he should’ve been as a puppy. I seriously questioned if this dog was way outside of my ability, five Rottweilers, and this was the first time that I was actually borderline scared of a dog. I contacted several trainers throughout the area all of which said they didn’t do this kind of work. One of them finally referred me to Comprehensive k9 and Kate. With our first meeting, she was able to let me know, he was not aggressive. He was scared and that there was work to be put in, but that he was going to be a really good dog, he is a punk, but he’s amazing. We did one on one trainings for almost 5 months and now have continued into group class trainings. Kate has taught us the value of different training tools to be used when training and helped me with different ways of working with him in order to build that relationship. When there were health issues , and the dreaded vets office visit, Kate dropped everything and came to help me with him in order to build a relationship with vets and help me with knowing how to handle him at the vets office. The dog that I thought was going to have to go back to the rescue will now never leave my home. From the dog that no man could walk into my house when he was eating to the dog that now loves pretty much everybody. It’s been a 180 turn around. Comprehensive k9 was instrumental in training, both owner and dog and being a wonderful resource. Every one on one training is followed with an email with videos and there is always availability via text or phone for additional questions. Comparatively her pricing is amazing from what some of the other trainers throughout town are offering. We’ve now moved into canine good citizen training and are looking forward to that journey. I can’t say enough good things about Comprehensive k9 and the owner. They are absolutely amazing.

We highly recommend Kate for anyone looking for a dog trainer. Her board and train program is well worth every minute. Her patience and knowledge helped us understand our dog’s behavior and what works for the both of us. Our blue heeler was nightmare to take on walks and she trained us and then him to fix the problem. We thank you and every dog owner should be calling her for training.
