Calmer Canines

Calmer Canines Online & in-person private dog training. Certified Professional Dog Trainer. Family Paws Parent Educator. Family Dog Mediator. Dial Guide.

My main focus currently lies in working with families with dogs from pregnancy to teenagehood in order to create safe family dynamics and ensure dog ownership is enjoyable for all. However, I continue to work with everything from puppies to dogs with fear, aggression, and over-excitement issues as I have for the past 13+ years. I now offer online/virtual training through Zoom anywhere in the USA.

In-person service area: Costa Mesa, Corona del Mar, Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Orange, Santa Ana, South Coast Metro, Tustin/North Tustin, and Villa Park.

This is a phenomenal (and very affordable!) option for parents, grandparents, and caregivers looking for support while transitioning from life with dogs to life with a baby and dogs. It is equally helpful for those who are already in it (hello, toddlers!), but looking for ways to maintain your sanity and your kids' safety! Along with dozens of other experienced Licensed Family Paws Parent Educators, I'll be there to support you!

Even if you don't fall into this category of dog owners, please spread the word far and wide! Family Paws Parent Education often makes the difference between a dog staying in its home or needing to be rehomed, and the number of dog bites to children that have been prevented with this critical information is immeasurable, but very very real.

All in the Family

Over the past 13 years, Kate’s focus has been largely on working with reactive and fearful dogs, but since becoming pregnant in 2017, her focus has shifted more toward family training. She has combined her decade of dog training experience with her 16 years of child care experience (assisting in her mother’s business) and studied to become a Licensed Family Paws Parent Educator and a member of The Family Dog® Private Training Program. Kate is proudly neurodiverse and loves to help families, including those with unique needs, find a healthy dynamic between all family members (two-legged and four). Kate’s own family consists of her ever-supportive husband Richard, her darling son Rico, and her two silly dogs: June Bug (Corgi/Dachshund) and Sirius Black (Swedish Vallhund). Despite focusing on families, Kate still works with reactivity and fear issues, using Behavior Adjustment Training and similar methodologies to create healthy coping mechanisms and rework relationships. In addition to training dogs, Kate even has some experience training Miniature Potbellied Pigs and has volunteered with Southern California Association for Miniature Potbellied Pigs (SCAMPP)! Serving all of the USA through online training. When outdoor in-person training resumes, we will be serving Costa Mesa, Corona del Mar, Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Newport Beach, Orange, Santa Ana, South Coast Metro, Tustin/North Tustin, and Villa Park.
