More info about Kate Brown-Wing's dog training:

I provide private and group classes for Puppy Head Start, focusing on socialization, practical skills for home and community preparation, handling, foundational skills and Behaviors that make the most of the puppies early months of development. I offer AKC/CGC training and Evaluations, service dog training (for suitable teams), I work with dogs that are having behavioral challenges as a result of under or no early socialization, trauma, separation anxiety and reactivity issues. I aim to develop or assist dogs to be educated, mannered, at ease with themselves, cooperating family members.

Behavioral issue focus:

I have been working with post COVID young dogs, finding many under- socialized needing reintroduction and education of life's typical occurrences in the home and out in the community. I educate the owners to develop a trusting bond to rebuild positive associations, as well as enrichment exercises and e

Dog training methods:

As a seasoned Scientific Illustrator as well as dog Educator, I observe the dog, owner and environs very closely. These skills are key to understanding the dogs behaviors and responsiveness to their experiences. The DOG sets the pace. I am a science -based trainer, using positive methods to introduce and encourage learning and skill acquisition. I do work dogs with behavioral needs, they have customized training plans that I design to address their specific issues, allowing be to track progress and changes of behaviors.

Why I became a dog trainer:

I started with raising a Seeing -Eye puppy at 10, again at 16, I have some need for a service dog, so I trained him and my following dogs myself. Dogs are uniquely boned with us to partner and cooperate with us. Training puppies and service dogs lead be to know that dogs are highly intelligent and motivated to learn. I know that with the proper, positive education, most dogs will over deliver and volunteer more and more behaviors that are helpful. Dogs have not yet had their Day in the Sun as their intelligence and capacities are just now being explored.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Watching the dog have lightbulb moments! I tell them Beautiful Jeeves! ( or what even their name is) GOOD THINKING!

My #1 dog training tip:

Observe closely.
