History

Established in 2013.

Since 2007, I have worked with approximately 2,000 dogs and their owners in both group and private sessions. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-​KA) and have been an AKC GCG Evaluator since 2011. From Akitas to Yorkshire Terriers, puppies to seniors, brave to timid, shy to pushy and reactive, I have worked with them all.

Calmer Canines was created in order to provide a customized training experience for those who want to train their dog right where the problems start: at home and on daily walks. I design a training program using a variety of effective and humane techniques to get you the behaviors you need and want through in-​home and/​or group classes, helping your dog become a happy and well-​adjusted canine.

Meet the Business Owner

Kate C.

Business Owner

My name is Kate and I am the creator and owner of Calmer Canines. As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-​KA), it is my goal to help every dog learn to fit in with our crazy human world. I believe that living with dogs is a privilege, not a right, and that our relationships with them should be based on mutual respect, trust, and understanding, not fear and dominance. This is why I use positive and humane techniques that have been proven more effective than outdated dominance-​based techniques.

I enjoy taking my Corgi/​Dachshund, Junie, my Swedish Vallhund, Sirius, and my mom’s Dachshund/​Jack Russel, Hollie, on training «adventures» around Orange County. My dogs often assist me with my group classes, and occasionally with my private lessons, depending on my client’s dog’s needs.
