Kathy,
Thank you again for personally signing all the books in that box yesterday ...
The new student officers in the Behavior Club will be excited to have this educational tool to share with other students, staff, faculty and our clients.
Thank you too, for the discount you provided so the students can sell the books as a fundraiser.

I have loved reading the puppy book. It all makes so much sense. I purchased a copy for my niece who just got a Chocolate Lab puppy. Great job! You deserve a treat!

An informative training handbook, Puppy Possibilities is an ideal guide for starting with either a new puppy or an older dog that has just joined a new family environment.
- Malagold Goldens breeder, Connie (Michigan)
Hi Kathy, The book is really for my new non-doggy husband as we prepare for a new puppy to join the ranks, but I figure I can always learn new things, too!
Edell is a friend of mine and does not give compliments likely and she raved about your book!
So thanks for writing and I look forward to reading it -- All my best.
- Deb, Tom, and the Highfield Goldens (Wisconsin)
Hi Kathy! Your book is the most thorough and positive training book I have seen. I will send a copy home with each puppy sold.
- Great Dane breeder, Jeanne (Maine)
Your book gives me the confidence boost I need to feel as though I
can "get it right" as a first time puppy owner. It is wonderfully
concise and to the point, filled with practical, critical information
on every page. "Puppy Possibilities" is a perfect reference and has
become my "go to" resource to find "all the answers!" Indeed I have
referred to your book countless times over the first few days we have
had our now 8 1/2 week old Corgi puppy. Thank you for creating
such a fabulous book!
- Lucy's owner, Rachel (Connecticut)
I just finished reading your book. It was excellent, very easy to read – I couldn’t put it down. It really got me so excited for our puppy. We can not wait for him to arrive! Thank you!
- Stephanie (MA)
Hi Kathy. The book is great! I'm handing out the books early, when folks come to visit, so they are primed when the pup goes home. The response has been overwhelming. I am SURE the book will result in happier puppies and smarter owners.
- Adirondac Goldens breeder, Carol (New York)
Hi Kathy. Congratulations on the new book and the website! I have often thought of how lucky I was to have found you as my first trainer. You put me on the path to kind, positive training.
- Benny's owner, Sandy (Texas)
Hi Kathy, I just wanted to let you know I saw your book yesterday at Slade Vet in Framingham. What a great book you have put together for new puppy owners. I wish I had had more time to look at it. It seemed to be so complete. I would love to get a copy for myself as well as for my friends, and customers with their new puppies.
- Goldenbear Kennels, Anne (MA)
Hi Kathy, Your book is a terrific resource!
Wish I had it six weeks ago when I got my puppy!
- Pagey's owner, Susan (MA)
Hi Kathy, Here is an update on Lola. While not perfect, she has improved. Everyday we use the techniques & words you taught us. House training has improved. No accidents since you arrived with your magic ideas. Overall Lola has been a pleasure to be around and we credit you with all the tips, vocabulary & encouragement that has helped turn her into a more mannered dog. If it weren’t for you Lola would be with Yankee Golden Retriever rescue!!
- Lola's owner, Lynn (MA)
Hi Kathy, Remember us? We moved to Austin about 15 years ago. The original training you gave us with Teddy and Charly has really come in handy over the years. I still have the folders and handouts you gave us for our "puppy kindergarten" classes! I foster a few rescues every year and the positive training has really made a difference, especially potty training. Thank you! I really appreciate the positive training that you do.
- Teddy and Charlie's owner, Sandy (Texas)
Knowing the directives to use, and learning how to train with voice and
food incentives was very helpful. We feel like we are in control now not him.
- Captain's owner, Janet (MA)
The concepts I learned about dog training from you turned living with a dog into pleasure instead of an unpleasant chore.
- Andy's owner, Kerry (Ohio)
Kathy, I loved your book. I wish I had it three years ago. The book almost makes me want another puppy so I could do it right from the very beginning. Thank you.
- Marcia (MA)
You taught me how to be patient and consistent in training. We also
learned that our dog is really smart and wants to please us. Thank you Kathy!
- Brandee's owner, Stephen (MA)
Thank you for everything. You’ve made owning and working with my first dog
a joy! It’s a dream come true!
- Holly's owner, Laurie (MA)
It’s amazing how quickly puppies can learn. You taught us that by
patience, practice, and praise they respond more quickly than by other methods.
We learned a lot about our puppy. Thank you!
- Fred's owner, Phil (MA)
It's so much easier to learn when you're having fun!
- Ashley's owner, Bobbie (MA)
The training we've learned came out at a good time in their puppyhood.
This was a good foundation for future training. We look forward to many
years of living with enjoyable and controllable pets.
- Spanky & Alfalfa's owners, Marjorie & Ed (MA)
This course has been extremely helpful in getting Brandee
to understand how we'd like her to behave. I think your methods:
lots of praise, firm but gentle hand, voice modulation, and the 3 P's are excellent!
I also think that starting puppies at such an early age is a great idea!
- Brandee's owner, Nancy (MA)
