Kathleen’s unique ability to read and feel the energy of dogs, coupled with her expertise in teaching owners to communicate clearly with their dogs to get the behaviors they desire, enables us at Atlantic K9 to provide our clients a personal training experience like no other.

 

In the early years of Kathleen’s career, she sought out world-renowned German trainer, Gottfried Dildei, to learn specific skills and training approaches to help her clients interact and communicate on a deeper level with their canine companions. Through Gottfried’s mentorship, Kathleen established groundbreaking and proven dog training techniques and effective training tools to address any kind of behavioral challenge.

 

Kathleen continues to implement Gottfried’s training methods by utilizing and passing on the methods he uses in his Schutzhund training (a dog sport that consists of tracking, obedience, and protection) to her own clients to help work with and understand their dogs better.
