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

        "Karen explains things very well, and I appreciate her sincerity,
    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

        "Karen loves dogs and it shows. She wants you and your dog to succeed
    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

    "How I Instruct"  to be sure you are comfortable with my training
    style which is POSITIVE and tail wagging fun!  I don't correct

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
