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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t understand my dog. Her repeated admonitions to work harder and \u201cget some good control on him\u201d were taking the fun out of the job he loved. Kathryn taught me to let him fly, and to let him take some of the responsibility. She saved our relationship, and his career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 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\u2019m eternally grateful to her for letting Bart fly.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.4.0″ background_color=”#fcfbdb”][et_pb_testimonial author=”Emma Jager” portrait_url=”https:\/\/pawsandcues.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Emma-Jager-and-dogs-2020.jpg” portrait_width=”112px” _builder_version=”4.4.0″ body_text_color=”#453221″ background_color=”#fcfbdb” hover_enabled=”0″ box_shadow_style_image=”preset1″ box_shadow_color_image=”rgba(69,50,33,0.73)”]<\/p>\n Kathryn is one of the best coaches you can find. It is great to learn from someone who loves learning new things continuously even after decades in dog training world- she knows a lot of stuff!<\/p>\n Kathryn doesn’t just teach and learn theory, she also works her own dog with great care, so she has a very practical teaching style. She never seems to miss important details and she is always very kind and supportive while giving you feedback or instructions, so you will feel highly motivated to continue on with your training.<\/p>\n And you can always rely on her having your dog\u2019s best interest in mind as well, as she is always very careful about how the dog feels in training.

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\u2019s 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.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Kathryn\u2019s training skills are phenomenal\u2014you will definitely come out of her classes a better dog trainer!\u201d 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\u2019s in Behavior Analysis focusing on dog behavior, and currently working my Ph.D in Psychology, still studying dog behavior and learning.

A friend encouraged me to consider agility with him as a way to help boost his confidence. I applied for a spot in Kathryn\u2019s beginning class and well, it has been an incredible journey. Kathryn uses relationship-based training methods that are positive and easy to understand.<\/span><\/p>\n With her guidance and insight, I learned how to recognize and appropriately respond to Jake when his anxiety and fear kicked in, all while learning agility. I have come to understand just how fortunate we were to have crossed paths with Kathryn: She is a compassionate, wise person and she made all the difference in the world to Jake\u2019s quality of life by teaching me how to understand his behavior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There are many, many things I like about Kathryn. Her teaching style is relaxed and fun; she creates a safe environment for all the dogs and their owners; and she is active in the dog training and agility communities.
