Every morning, I set the foundation for success with my dog. This isn’t just about tricks—it’s about building engagement, impulse control, and mental stimulation to create a well-balanced dog. In this video, I walk you through: ✅ Obedience & Fun Tricks ✅ Impulse Control Play ✅ Combining Training & Play ✅ Puzzle Time Training is more than commands—it’s about trust, consistency, and connection. Watch, learn, and try it with your dog!🐕💬 What’s your dog’s favorite way to start the day? Let me know in the comments!

We’ve all been there… wondering why our dog won’t listen—but have we actually trained them to? Dogs aren’t born understanding our language or expectations. If we haven’t clearly taught a behavior and reinforced it, we can’t expect them to just know. Training is communication, not mind-reading!If this sounds familiar, don’t worry—you’re not alone. I help dog owners bridge the gap between frustration and success with clear, effective training. Ready to see real progress? Let’s work together!

🐾 Tuesday Training Tip! 🐾
Does your dog love to chew on things they shouldn't? Instead of saying 'No!'—redirect! 🚀 When your pup starts gnawing on furniture, shoes, or anything off-limits, calmly offer a toy or bone they can chew. Once they take it, praise and reward to reinforce the good behavior. 🔄🐶✨

Consistent redirection teaches your dog what’s acceptable while keeping their chewing instincts satisfied. Try it out and let me know how it works for you!

E-collars can be a helpful tool when used correctly, but there’s a right way and a wrong way. I’ve worked with hundreds of dogs, including deaf ones, and seen the positive impact of proper use. My own service dog uses one to communicate as he’s losing his hearing. It’s about clear, calm communication—not fear or pain. Let’s talk about how to use this tool effectively!

What makes Kates Kanines different? 🐾
🔹 I’ve spent 17 years perfecting a training method that’s unlike anything you’ve seen before.
🔹 I don’t rely on commands or corrections—I use games to teach your dog how to listen without asking.
🔹 My clients say it best:
“Kate’s method is like nothing we’ve ever seen before, and it WORKS!” 💪🐶
I’ll be back in El Paso starting June 9th, and I’m ready to help your dog transform. Whether your pup needs better manners, less anxiety, or a confidence boost, I’ve got you covered!

This is one step out of many to gain calm greetings but this is the bread and butter of them all! It's all about rewarding the action, as you practice consistently, you'll notice your dog associating the door with a sit cue making your introductions that much easier when your dog is ready. If you would like help or are ready for advancements reach out to me.

Meet Harvey our newest daycare friend! He stayed awake with me long enough to get his belly and ear rubs and is now sleeping. He is so cute and loving.

Even though this newest business adventure means I’ve been on the computer multiple hours a day I am very blessed to have such an amazing job. I love every moment with every daycare dog, I’m going to miss them all dearly.
