Karen Rich, CPDT-KA - Certified Dog Trainer - Templeton, MA

Member since Dec 2021

As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with a specialization in group obedience classes, I have dedicated my career to fostering a harmonious bond between pets and their owners. With years of experience training dogs of all sizes—from the tiniest under 20 lbs to the largest over 80 lbs—I offer tailored obedience training that ranges from Puppy Classes to Canine Good Citizen titles. My approach utilizes various positive reinforcement techniques, including clicker training, leash handling, and the effective use of toys and treats, ensuring that every session is engaging and productive.

I am proud to be an American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator and a certified tester/observer for the Alliance of Therapy Dogs. Additionally, I hold certifications in Pet First Aid and CPR from the American Red Cross, as well as from ProTrainings Pro Pet Hero. I believe that a well-adjusted, social dog is the result of consistent training and nurturing, which is why I provide flexible mobile services to meet your needs, allowing for convenient and personalized training at your home or preferred location.

Whether you're facing behavioral challenges or simply want to enhance your dog's obedience skills, I'm here to help. I also offer online training sessions, making it easier than ever to connect and learn, no matter where you are. Ready to get started?
