Amazing Pawsibilities - CCPDT Certified Private Dog Trainer - Denver, CO
As a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA) with over 15 years of experience, I'm passionate about transforming your pet's behavior and enhancing their quality of life. My advanced diploma in canine behavior science from the Companion Animal Sciences Institute (Dip.CBST) ensures that I bring the latest, evidence-based strategies to every session. As an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator (AKC CGC) and a Fear Free Certified Professional, I am dedicated to creating a positive, stress-free training environment for every pet. Whether you have dogs, cats, birds, or guinea pigs, my in-home training sessions are tailored to meet the unique needs of each animal.
My expertise spans a wide range of training techniques, including positive reinforcement, clicker training, and service dog training. I am an active member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) and the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), which keeps me at the forefront of pet training innovations. I use a variety of tools such as back-clip harnesses, long lines, and treats to encourage positive behavior and strengthen the bond between you and your pet. My flexible cancellation policy and individualized programs ensure that you receive the most convenient and effective solutions to any behavior issues.
Serving pet parents with dedication and compassion, I offer mobile services that bring training directly to your home. This personalized approach allows me to work closely with you and your furry family members to achieve lasting results. Are you ready to elevate your pet's training experience?

Customer Reviews
Katherine is “Amazing” and opened up so many “Pawsibilities” for our Lab and saved my sanity. I had 3 trainers before her with no success. Hunter was un-walkable, so reactive and untrainable that I was loosing hope. But once she started working with him (and training me) we now walk every day, and he loves other dogs and things that would send him to an uncontrollable state. If you are looking for a positive reinforcement trainer, she is “Amazing”!
- Debbie TKatherine started the process of training our 4 month-old puppy with us in September 2023. We were referred to her by a friend who had worked with her on their rescue dog. Kindness, consistency and treats are a big part of her training process. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and training them, as she has been doing it a long time. Our puppy loves her and quickly learned what she taught him. We will continue working with her. We are grateful to Katherine for all of her help, and highly recommend her!!!
- Laura LWorking with Katherine was so great. Her knowledge & expertise was evident when working with Remy. She has a calm demeanor that Remy connected with.
Katherine tailored the lessons around our goals for Remy and raising a family dog. After each lesson, she sent detailed notes highlighting key things to remember & focus on when we are training at home. After our package expired, we could easily add more lessons when needed. We highly recommend Katherine to train your dog or puppy.
