Kate Senisi is the real deal. I needed help with my Swedish Vallhund – not your typical dog, and they can be a handful. Kate didn't just dive in, she took the time to understand the breed and my dog's quirks. She created a plan that addressed his anxiety and sound sensitivities, and it all just clicked. I felt like I finally got my dog. If you're looking for a trainer who truly gets it, Kate's your person.

Kate has been a pleasure to work with, and she's helped Winnie get much more comfortable around another dog than a half dozen previous trainers over the years. She has great instincts for understanding what dogs are feeling, and relies on novel applications of proven, positive methods to intervene. And Winnie loves her!

Jack S.Great instincts for understanding what dogs are feeling

Kate picked up quickly what is truly going on while listening to our challenges and steered us in the right direction from the moment we started training together. After each session, she always followed up with a detailed report and a clear training program to work with. We have made tremendous progress since. Kate is very accommodating and responsive when questions come up. We love working with Kate and highly recommend her!

I worked with Kate to address my dog's leash walking and reactivity issues and the improvements have been remarkable. Kate's expertise and patient approach transformed our walks from stressful to enjoyable. She provided clear, actionable guidance and tailored the training to fit my dog's unique needs.

I have known Kate for 10 years. She is the most compassionate, calm, empathetic trainer with a wealth of knowledge. I trust my most complex cases with her from severe aggression to new puppies. I can’t recommend working with her enough.

"Kate went above and beyond in helping him become more confident. We did two rounds of Psychos and you could really see the improvement. Totto's anxiety level dropped significantly in the classes, and we learned how to read his signals. We've made such strides -- I cannot say enough good things."

Russo has an anxiety disorder and is, among other things, afraid of strangers. Kate has been working with us in our home so that Russo is more comfortable with others helping care for him. She is respectful and has a great sense of pacing that has allowed Russo to progress without the blowback that often comes when dogs are too pressured rather than assisted to develop organically.

James P.A great sense of pacing

Kate is a miracle worker. I was skeptical that we could get Ronan's aggression under control, but we developed a plan and I honestly cannot believe the change in his behavior. She is patient and able to make the humans good trainers which is just as important as training the dogs.

Working with Kate (and Bandit!) gave us some great tips to better understand how to read cues of my "other-dog-reactive" pup, and how to encourage greeting, while still listening and observing when my dog is overwhelmed. Would highly recommend spending time with Kate.

Kate was a tremendous help with our rescue dog, Benny. He had a rough past, and Kate was instrumental in helping us work past some of Benny’s behavioral issues. She helped us build trust, play, and positive reinforcement. All of her recommendations were spot on, helping us create a warm and loving household for Benny. We wouldn’t be where we are today without her help and support. We couldn’t recommend working with Kate enough!

Kate is an amazing genius when it comes to dogs. I thought as long as I followed a schedule, Zooey would be housebroken in a flash; but then where was all that pee coming from? Kate did an in-home orientation, we attended puppy classes, and I learned how to teach Zooey in a way she understands. Highly recommend.

Sarah S.Highly recommend

Kate is one of the absolute best trainers that we have worked with: she has taken the time to understand the dynamics in our household, the priorities that we have as a family, and honing in on what works, what doesn't and how to support us through that process.

Kate is such a positive and knowledgeable trainer, the whole package. She has been training our new puppy since he was 8.5 weeks old and she knows what she's doing. She always gives EXTREMELY detailed follow-ups to every training session and is always there to answer any questions we have responding

Amanda L.Such a positive and knowledgeable trainer

Kate is a ROCKSTAR. We first met while taking her Sidewalk Psychos class but have done 1on1 sessions as well as dog socialization sessions with her and her dog. We had used other trainers in the past who were fine, but Kate took it up a level. Our dog is dog reactive and she taught us tricks/techniques that truly work. We've made so much progress with Bucky since first working with her - he's like a changed dog.
