Katherine A. High believes in teaching people how to be proactive with their dogs in training. She will show you how we can set your pup up for success, creating a situation where your dog is choosing to perform behaviors we appreciate, thus creating a positive relationship with your pup. More specifically, she uses marker training, luring, capturing and shaping in her training sessions.

Customer Reviews
Alyssa N – Great classes in really good sizes.
OLDMANSTILLCAN PNW – Katie is great. She helped us in 2015 with our two min pins and some anxiety issues that made it hard to walk the dogs together; one session with her helped us help them. Now we have a female German Shepherd, great dog lots of energy and we turned to Katie and her staff to help us once again!
John Lampus – I love this place and wish we could go more often! Our pup gets so excited and always learns valuable behavior skills. I also find she listens better when we’re regularly attending a class. Highly recommend high expectations!
Talara Tate – I’ve owned many dogs over the past few years and have worked closely with them my whole life. I don’t really have enough good things to say about High Expectations and Hailey in particular. We recently adopted our fourth dog, a border collie mix, who has more energy and tenacity than any other herding dog I’ve owned. Through their puppy day school and training classes he has become such an amazing and attentive dog. I love how all the trainers seem to know him and working with them and Brooke has been such a breeze. Whenever I have specific questions, they always have helpful answers and truly care about your pup and the work they do. So happy we found them!
adam berg – I have only been through one class so far and Hailey has impressed me 100 times over and the training is over the top professional and it exceeds my expectations. I will recommend them to everyone. Thank you so much Hailey for your training. You are a definitely a rock star, and I appreciate all your additional advice.
Erin Contour – This is a wonderful family with talented and caring trainers. Every time we’ve had questions, they’ve offered practical advice. Classes are structured to progress naturally for your pup and you (which is important, you’re both getting trained!) plus they’re just fun.
