Testimonials From Clients and Students
I am so grateful to Kathryn for her expertise as an Agility trainer and her amazing knowledge of dog behavior. She is very intuitive and shares insight on how to learn/work on the results we want. Thank you, Kathryn!
I highly recommend Kathryn Horn’s classes! She knows as much about operant conditioning as any trainer I’ve met, using (and explaining) it to help each team succeed. She is kind and patient with both dogs and handlers.
Kathryn was also willing to accommodate my dog’s special need to be kept away from big, barking dogs while she’s in the ring. The results have been remarkable! My timid little dog now loves coming to class and is excelling at the work, while I scramble to keep up. Thank you, Kathryn, for opening up this world to us.
When I first met Kathryn, my relationship with my Catahoula, Bart, was in jeopardy. I loved my dog dearly, but had been working too long with an Agility trainer who just didn’t understand my dog. Kathryn taught me to let him fly, and to let him take some of the responsibility. She saved our relationship, and his career.
Kathryn is a tremendous resource, capable of providing creative, dog-friendly solutions to vexing problems, always in the context of building the relationship with the dog. I’m eternally grateful to her for letting Bart fly.
“I called 3 agility trainers when I was looking for classes to start with my German shepherd. When I talked to Kathryn, I knew I had found the right one! Her enthusiasm, energy, and dedication to her students and dogs are immeasurable. I trained my two German shepherds under Kathryn’s tutelage for eight years (and only stopped because I moved out of state for school). Not only did I learn the ins-and-outs of agility, she changed my relationship with my dogs. She taught me to listen when my dogs talked through their behavior. She hooked me on clicker training and the wonders it can do to produce eager, engaged dogs.
Kathryn’s training skills are phenomenal—you will definitely come out of her classes a better dog trainer!” I had such a great time training with Kathryn that I made dogs and dog training my life, becoming a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, earning a Master’s in Behavior Analysis focusing on dog behavior, and currently working my Ph.D in Psychology, still studying dog behavior and learning. My training abilities stem directly from Kathryn and her insights into behavior resonate in my academic world, as well.”
I encourage anyone who has a dog with behavioral issues to consult with Kathryn. Do it. Do it. Do it. I’ve worked with Kathryn training my Cardigan Welsh Corgi for about 5 years and am amazed at the depth of knowledge, experience, and passion she brings to working with dogs. Kathryn will help you help your dog, which is more valuable than you can imagine. Kathryn knows heaps about dogs and is constantly learning more. You can’t go wrong with a professional of her caliber.
