It is important to train and socialize your puppy the moment your puppy comes into the house. I work with clients to establish rules and boundaries, discourage playful biting, housebreaking, and beginning obedience. We create a schedule for age appropriate training and social skills.

Puppy training will make sure dogs have a healthy and working relationship with other pets, children, and new babies.

Give your puppy a solid foundation of basic behaviors. Your personal sessions will include:

• Basic Social Skills with People and Other Dogs
• Boundaries and Manners
• Corrections for Unwanted Behaviors (biting, jumping up, etc.)
• Loose Leash Walking
• Any other "Puppy" issues you may Need Help with!

Beginner Training (for puppies 3-5 months old)

We will go over and review all the above puppy training, plus:

• Advanced Leash Walking
• Leave It & Drop It; Wait
• Meeting a Friendly Stranger
• House Manners; How to Welcome a Guest in Your Home
• Distractions
• Any Other "Issues" You May Want to Address

Individual sessions are $250.00 with a follow-up session in three to four weeks.

Prices range between $650 and $1800, and are adjustable to how many dogs and people in the household as well as the amount of work that needs to be done.

This package involves an evaluation of the dog having issues, a diagnosis, a working treatment plan and several other visits.

Our goal here is to have a dog that can be trusted in any social situation. Basic and advanced obedience is also taught in this package.

Animal Psychology Center in Rapid City and Philip, South Dakota, provides animal behavioral services. When it comes to behavioral issues of dogs, I train, rehabilitate, and address them. My home base (where the Animal Psychology Center is located) is in Philip (about 75 minutes east of Rapid City). I come to Rapid City often to work with clients and their pets. I make house calls (much like Ceasar Milar on the Nat GEO channel) and teach both individual and group classes.

If you are having issues with your cat (urinating, marking, not getting along with other pets or people, change in personality) Katherine can do a home visit/session to help you figure out what the problem is.

After gathering information from both you, your family and your cat(s) we would discuss viable solutions to fix the problem and practical solutions.

Katherine has practiced natural “Dog Pack” behavior techniques for years, well before they became popularized by celebrity trainers like Cesar Millan or Tamar Geller. She is overjoyed to see these humane and effective techniques moving into mainstream pet training practices. So what is “dog pack” training? Simply put, it’s about the dog’s natural desire to subordinate to the pack leader. Your dog’s pack is your family and if YOU have established yourself as the ‘alpha’ of that pack, then things are probably going pretty well. If not, then the dog will challenge your authority, treat you like an equal or, worse yet, consider himself to be the pack member in charge of things. Understanding how your dog views his role in your family pack, and how to establish yourself as the undisputed pack leader, will result in a happier, more secure, and better behaved dog.
