“Katerina took my 6 year old rescued Great Dane and worked her magic! He is a very anxious and low confidence boy, so going in we knew it wouldn’t be a perfect outcome. Since returning home, it is like I have a whole new dog! She goes above and beyond for the dogs she takes and their humans. I would recommend her 1000x over again!

We ended up at the vet a few days after picking him up, and because of his training his visit went so smoothly.”

“We completed the 5 weeks of private lessons for our dog Maverick with Katerina. She was nothing but amazing, and always was happy to work around our crazy busy schedule. I cannot recommend her enough when it comes to dog training. She is kind, soft handed, positive, and always happy to help no matter the issue you have! Thank you so much Katerina for all of your help with Maverick! We have loved seeing him grow and progress over the last 5 weeks.”

“Kat worked with our rescue pup for puppy jump start training. She welcomed all of our questions (we had Many!) and was thorough with her responses. I loved that she shared videos of training to see progress and potential! Our pup had issues with dogs and Kat had him successfully playing with other dogs and walking past them with no response. It was amazing to see! She spent a significant amount of time teaching and training our family during pickup so we can follow through. My son says he wishes he could press a button to have Kat instantly on site when we need her! Better than Jake from State Farm. Thanks Kat!”

"Katerina has been incredible! Her guidance has greatly improved my ability to communicate with my dogs. Thanks to her help, managing my dog's reactivity has become much easier. I highly recommend reaching out to Katerina if you're looking to strengthen your relationship with your dog"

“Katerina did great with my dog Wishbone! We needed some help with some unwanted behaviors and she was so knowledgeable regarding his behavior but also did an amazing job explaining how the e-collar works. I wasn't 100% on using this tool with my dog but it honestly helps to know how to work it properly and truly understand such an awesome tool. My dog has responded MUCH BETTER to myself and his commands with the help of this tool. Highly recommend Black Onyx Dog Training if you need help with any unwanted behavior!”

“Katerina as a trainer is amazing, she has transformed our pup into a well mannered and well behaved dog. I love that we can do refresher sessions and she’s always available for those “what do I do” situations! It’s the best investment we did! Hands down I would recommend Black Onyx Dog Training! “Place” command is a must!!”

— Sheryl Toland

“Katerina did an AMAZING job training our 6 month old rescue pup! I’m so impressed with all the commands she knows. It has made the adjustment with young kids in the house so smooth. I’d highly recommended entrusting Black Onyx to train your dog. You will be so happy with the results!”

“Our goofy girl Dolly learned so much at the 3-week training program. Katarina was really great at reading cues and at training Dolly. We have another pup Willow who is coming for training soon. Thank you for all that you do!”

“I highly recommend sending your pup to Katerina at black onyx dog training! She treats your dog like her own during their stay, and she teaches them very well! she is patient and very easy to work with and she shares what your pup is learning each day! your pup will be in extremely good hands! We will continue to do business with her down the road! Katerina is amazing at what she does and she is one of the nicest humans ever!! we recently adopted Huck and it is so nice having a puppy that knows manners already! Thank you so much for all you do!!”
