Client Reviews

David, Konner & KC-
Katie has been super helpful in teaching us about our dog KC and reading the cues KC gives us. We have seen amazing improvements in KC’s reactivity since working with Katie. She has provided us with a ton of information and we leave every training session feeling confident in our ability to understand our dog’s behavior.

Laura & Lakota-
Katie Jesseph’s dog-training experience and knowledge is invaluable. During the pandemic “no-contact” period, Katie was able to talk me through detailed training methods over the phone to assist me with a variety of behavioral issues I was experiencing with several different foster dogs. After I adopted Lakota, my rambunctious German Shepherd-Husky mix, Katie visited to work one-on-one with Lakota and assess her prey-drive tendencies. Katie continues to make herself available for online advice, and has offered training tips and solutions I would not have thought of before. She has put all of the dogs I have worked with on the path to success!

Emily & Sadie-
Katie is very knowledgeable, communicates clearly, is very patient, and flexible with her scheduling. I learned a lot working with her and saw that my dog was beginning to improve in her problem areas almost immediately. I’m not sure who benefited more from our training sessions, myself or Sadie! I would definitely recommend Katie to anyone looking to enroll their dog in training sessions.

Tara & Jasmine-
Katie absolutely rocked our session. I finally got to see some of the dog I know my smart little pup can be. She gave me new skills as well as confidence to use them and just hours after our session Jasmine is doing WONDERFUL! Katie was easy to talk to, understanding, she explained everything clearly, and answered sooo many questions I had. Thank you! We will be ready to book again after we get a little practice under our belts!

I LOVE how knowledgeable Katie is and she is also very good at communicating what needs to be done and how to get it done! We have been having issues with two of our dogs getting along together, so Katie has been helping us with this issue. She is so in tune with the dogs and I feel so comfortable with her. She is just just what we needed to relieve our stress!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Katie! We have four dogs with very different emotional and social needs, and Katie is helping us get them to live peaceably. Her training methods are humane and ethical, and her knowledge and experience have been crucial to achieving our goals. She has treated all of us, dogs and humans, with kindness and respect. We enthusiastically recommend Paws on the Plains!

Katie is so kind and knowledgeable about dogs and the whole training process! My 4 year old husky is so stubborn and I was having the hardest time getting her to go on walks and I needed her to lose some weight. Katie met with us several times and we brainstormed new ideas and worked on new techniques to get my dog to walk better. We ended up finding several techniques that worked for my dog and I and it even put a little pep back in her step! Katie was great to work with, sent me additional information between sessions and my dog loved hanging out with her! I highly recommend her if you are looking for a dog trainer! Both big and small issues she knows her stuff on!

Katie was wonderful to work with. She taught us how to work with our dog to reduce her reactivity to other dogs and in just 5 sessions our dog’s behavior has improved immensely because we learned how to read her language and time our responses to meet her needs.

Katie was great to work with! We just recently took in a third dog who had been neglected by previous owners. Having 3 dogs all under 3 made our home feel anything but relaxing! Katie taught us the tools we needed to guide our dogs to be their most well behaved selves and how to understand and handle our newest rescues anxiety caused by previous neglect. 10/10 recommend!

Our overly reactive 7 year old lab mix male dog’s behavior improved drastically. Flexible and full of helpful guidance. We recommend Paws on the Plains.

We loved working with Katie! She is very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about training. I was also able to see progress in my dog’s behavior pretty quickly which is awesome. Love her approach and ability to make training a fun experience for you to connect more with your dog.

Katie is best of the best. We were at a loss of what to do with our fur baby after her had been attacked by a couple of dogs and some bad interactions with people he was starting to show some fear aggression. We looked around town for help but no one seemed to have space or could work with us not during the work day. In steps Katie I throughly looked over her page and she hit all my criteria and more and I couldn’t wait to get to work. She is kind, professional, and really knows how to bring out the best in you and your dog. She helped us learn why he was showing some aggression and helped us learn his personality when it comes to social situations which was a light bulb moment for us and helped us tailor training to help him excel. Your dog won’t walk away “perfect” after all they are there own individual and need to be respected for who they are and that is how it should be. What will happen is you will walk away with tools and plans to help your dog excel and to help everyone feel more peace. If your looking for private lessons reach our to Katie she is the best!

Our adolescent Aussie was showing some concerning biting behavior, and I wanted a trainer who was IAABC certified, which led me to Katie. We had a fantastic experience with her, and I highly recommend Paws on the Plains. Our Aussie has made substantial improvement in his frustration tolerance with her guidance, and I appreciate that Katie was not quick to dismiss him as aggressive. She was very patient and took the time to get to know our dog and talk my husband and I through his behavior. Katie was very communicative, easy to work with, affordable, and provided great resources.

It’s important to me that my pups are physically and mentally healthy as possible. Katie, from Paws on the Plains, comes to my home and fits into my schedule. She teaches me how to sculpt my pups into the best version of themselves. Each session ends with me gaining more knowledge and having more tools in my tool box to ensure my dogs live their best life. What my family gains from the experience is priceless.
