As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) accredited by the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers, a Mentor Trainer affiliated with Animal Behavior College, and a volunteer Dog Trainer at the Animal Care Centers of New York, I offer tailored dog training services and behavior management. I primarily use positive reinforcement and coercion-free methods, which can be conducted at home or remotely via live video calls.
My training programs mainly focus on teaching Recall (ensuring prompt response to a call), alternative behaviors that reduce barking and jumping, and effective Potty Training. I aim to impart valuable knowledge about training, so after working with me, you can apply the skills to train any future dogs you may have without requiring another trainer's help.
Unlike other trainers, I provide 24/7 support to my clients so you can contact me any time if you have questions or concerns that cannot wait for the next session. Normally, sessions are conducted with a week's interval, but exceptions can be made in case of emergencies.

Karin is truly remarkable! Her wealth of knowledge and expertise in dog training and human coaching surpasses all expectations. After just one in-home session with our new puppy, our worries were put to rest, and we felt empowered with newfound confidence (I highly recommend investing in the entire in-person package). Karin dedicates ample time and effort to ensure that she not only cares for your pet but also shows genuine love for her craft. I highly recommend Karin's services to pet owners of all ages and continue to eagerly await our next visit. Thank you, Karin!

Working with Karina has been an incredible experience. Despite our demanding schedules, scheduling training sessions has posed no issue whatsoever. We're in the process of unlearning previously acquired poor training methods, and Karina has been exceptional at explaining the benefits of alternate methods while guiding us in retraining our older dog alongside our new puppy. Her classes are not timed, and instead are tailored to ensuring comprehensive understanding for both dogs and owners. We're delighted with our decision to work with her and would confidently recommend her training services to others in need.

Despite being unable to meet in person, Karin did a remarkable job of clarifying the steps involved in potty training my dog. She was patient with me and dutifully responded to all my inquiries. Additionally, she reassured me that I could reach out anytime through calling or texting for further assistance. While she does expect remuneration for her services, her enthusiasm for aiding pet owners implies a true passion for her work. Admirable!

Karin was amazing! The online session for potty training was extremely beneficial and exactly what we needed. After adopting our puppy, my spouse and I were keen to pad train him. Karin's talk was filled with valuable information, insights, and personal stories that helped us comprehend the fundamentals of pad training a puppy successfully. Although we had searched for a lot of information on the internet, Karin's presentation was superior to anything we encountered online. I heartily recommend her training.

Karin is an exceptional trainer with extensive knowledge and excellent interpersonal skills. Her ability to connect with her clients on an empathetic level while also keeping them entertained is outstanding. Since working with Karin, I've become eager to invest more time and resources into training my dog. As a first-time dog owner, I was initially overwhelmed trying to manage my puppy alone with no support. However, Karin has equipped me with the necessary tools and practices to feel more confident and in control. Her continuous support and friendliness between sessions make her available 24/7, which is deeply appreciated. Karin is clearly dedicated to her line of work and always follows up thoroughly on previous sessions. My dog and I are grateful to have found her, and we look forward to booking our next package with her.
