Certified Dog Trainer · Certified Service Dog Trainer

Kathleen took early retirement to do what she loves most: working with dogs. Her own dogs are shelter and rescue pups, and she has a gift for finding the good in dogs other people have given up on.

Her philosophy: people don't care how much you know until they see how much you care.

What we can help with

From brand-new puppies to dogs with big feelings, we've trained it all. You don't have to figure out which kind of training you need. Tell us what's going on, and we'll build the plan.

Puppy training

Potty training, biting, crate training, and a great start on manners.

Everyday manners

Leash pulling, jumping, coming when called, and polite greetings.

Reactivity, fear & anxiety

Barking, lunging, or hiding. We help your dog feel safe and stay focused.

Drop-off training

Short on time? We do the heavy lifting, then teach you to keep it going.

In-home & on-location

We train where the problems happen: at home, on walks, and out in public.

Therapy dog prep

Get ready to volunteer together in hospitals, schools, and libraries.

AKC Canine Good Citizen

Testing at every level: S.T.A.R. Puppy, Canine Good Citizen, Community Canine, and Urban CGC, plus AKC Trick Dog titles. Our whole team are AKC evaluators.

Service dog training

Kathleen and Aiden both train service dogs, and Kathleen is a Certified Service Dog Trainer.

What families say

5.090+ reviews on Google

“We rescued our lab, Roy, in December of 2024… Aiden, our trainer at Really Good Pets, has helped Roy transition to our home, helped him overcome some big feelings of anxiety, and has made us way better doggo parents. We did both in-studio and in-home lessons, which was fantastic! 10/10 recommend.”

Roy's family · trained with Aiden

“Kathleen does an amazing job helping train dogs, and more importantly, she instructs the owners on how to behave. We have had group classes and solo lessons. We are thankful for Really Good Pets and would recommend them to anyone who wants to grow closer to their dogs.”
