About Kate’s Canines,LLC: Dog training & Behavior Modification

Kate's Canines is a private in-home practice servicing Westchester County, and it publishes program prices up front rather than quoting on a call.

The two headline programs

The Dream Dog Program is $850 for four sessions – two ninety-minute sessions and two sixty-minute sessions – and the site says it is built for leash reactivity and for separation and social anxiety. The Five Star Dog Bootcamp is $1,100 for six sessions, an introductory ninety minutes followed by sixty-minute sessions, and covers place, heel, sit, stay, down and come worked through distance, duration and distraction protocols. The bootcamp includes basic training tools and a complimentary follow-up session. Further programs are listed on the site.

The model

The stated mission is a program that meets the owner's own training goals and resolves the specific issues that household is living with. The framing is teaching the owner – 'I train you to train your dog' – rather than handing back a trained dog.

Online option

An online training track is published alongside the in-home work, which is worth knowing if you are at the northern or southern edge of the county.
