Kathrine Breeden

At Be Kind to Dogs, we believe that the traditional methods of dog training, which rely on intimidation, force, and conditional rewards, are outdated and ineffective. In fact, scientific research has proven that dogs' cognition, emotions, and ability to learn are not dissimilar to those of a three-year-old child. This understanding has led us to adopt a bond-based approach to dog training, which focuses on building trust and consistency, rather than relying on coercion and reward.

As a professional dog trainer, I, Kathrine Breeden, have dedicated myself to teaching pet parents how to create a strong bond with their dogs, founded on trust, consistency, and positive reinforcement. By adopting this approach, we can help dogs become more confident, educated, and self-controlled, rather than simply obedient.

We provide a range of services to pet parents in Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, Mesa, and the surrounding areas. Our services include eight-week training packages, four-week training packages, mini seminars, phone/video consultations, and more. These services are designed to address various behavioral concerns, from common issues like potty training and chewing to more serious concerns like aggression and separation anxiety.

As a licensed, insured, and certified professional dog trainer, I have the expertise and experience to help pet parents achieve their goals and create a happier, healthier relationship with their dogs. I am dedicated to providing the best possible training for my clients, using only the most scientifically-proven and humane methods.
