Working with Katie Sipple IAABC-ADT:

I use positive reinforcement and science based teaching methods with all of my learners, human and dog. You won’t only learn how to change behavior, but also WHY that behavior is happening in the first place. Because the “why” is where the best and kindest solutions lie. At Wise Mind Canine emotions matter. Wellness matters. Every dog gets a holistic approach, because the only way to thrive in relationships in a multi dog household is to be mentally and emotionally well. My programs succeed where others fail because my clients learn to create whole and happy dogs first, and how to train second.

I am here to be your coach and support person. Many of my clients are on their third or even eighth dog trainer. Your trust in this profession is often broken. Let me be your last stop. I’ll show you what it’s like to have a dog trainer in your corner. Who builds up your confidence and your skills as kindly and efficiently as your dogs’. I’m in this for the people, and getting to watch you love your dogs and life again.

Hear From My Past Clients:

Katie is one of the best teachers I’ve ever known, and I’ve worked in international education for the past 15 years. I evaluate K-12 teachers, and I look for teachers who teach kids, not content. Katie is one of the rarest kinds of teachers. She teaches dogs, not commands. She is so invested in my dogs. She understands them deeply, what they need to learn to succeed, how to build healthy relationships between them, and how they best learn. I have 4 rescue dogs who all have past trauma, so not an easy situation, but Katie finds creative solutions to the most unique challenges. I was blown away by her comprehensive knowledge of dog training and learning theory. Her instruction is meticulous, focused and holistic. I’VE learned so much! Her love and understanding of dogs shines through everything she does. A consummate professional, she is responsive and real with me. She’s changed our family forever, for the better. Thank you, “Auntie Katie!”

Katie is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful — and is an excellent teacher! She also never makes you feel guilty or at fault for issues that you are working through with your pups. I wish that everyone considering adopting a second dog would first take Katie’s online course, to properly prepare for becoming a successful multi-dog household! We came to Katie because our two dogs (who had lived together for 8 months, and been acquainted nearly a year) were having issues, and Katie’s training has taught us so much, and helped everyone feel safe and secure. One of our pups is reactive and highly anxious, and Katie has been phenomenal on helping us working with his behaviours. I would recommend Katie to anyone, regardless of where you live — we live in Canada and have weekly virtual training sessions!
