I am a graduate of the CT-K9 Professional Dog Trainer School and a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Committed to providing the most effective, humane solutions to clients’ dog training needs, I avidly pursue ongoing continuing education and professional development by attending seminars, networking with other trainers and keeping current on all industry literature. Secret Lake Dog Training, LLC puts clients first. When not helping clients to enjoy easier lives with their dogs, I spend time with my four dogs. "We absolutely love Karen and her gentle demeanour. She is very knowledgeable and a fantastic instructor. Gentle reinforcement of people and puppies." - Jennifer
personalized attention and concern for the overall well being of all the dogs." - Bruce " If/when I ever get any new dogs, as long as she continues to train I will only go to her- highly recommend her training style and enjoyed going to class." - Tara
and be happy. We are first time dog owners. Our puppy loved attending kindergarten and we learned how puppies play and learn. Our puppy responded very positively to the experience. It's fun for everyone. All questions are answered and help is given. Both dogs and owners are happy during and after class." - Althea

Before you sign up for a class or private session, please read "How I Instruct" to be sure you are comfortable with my training style which is POSITIVE and tail wagging fun! I don't correct behaviors. Instead I teach the desired behaviors!

| Shelters in Connecticut DO KILL dogs when time and space run out! Sissy (left) is an 8 yr old Lab who was to be put down because her time ran out at an overcrowded CT city shelter. Sissy is in foster care temporarily in the Farmington Valley. She needs a permanent home! For more info about adopting her, please email me. |
If you have questions than are not answered on my web site, the best way to contact me is via email. I can be difficult to reach by phone due to my schedule. I teach classes at least 4 nights a week, so returning phone calls in the evening can be nearly impossible. Due to my daytime work schedule, it can be equally difficult for me to return calls during the day. However, I can answer your email late at night after I have taught classes or early morning before I start my work day. Thanks, Karen |
