Thank you for visiting!

I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but I am no longer offering in-person dog training. I’m going to transition my website to offer information about dog training, positive training methods and finding the right trainer. Dog guardians and trainers can visit to learn about the benefits of reward-based training and behavior solutions.

The links below are to trainer searches offered by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, and the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants. They will help you find a trainer in your area.

I’ve also provided links to dog training schools in my area that offer group and private training classes.

You’re welcome to contact me with any questions.

I wish you the very best with your dogs!

Gentle Spirit Dog Training

Creating Lifelong Friendships Through Mutual Understanding and Respect

Welcome to Gentle Spirit Dog Training!

Kate Gorman, Certified Professional Dog Trainer and Behavior Consultant, created Gentle Spirit to teach dog owners how to understand their dogs’ behavior, and to help their dogs become well-mannered, enjoyable family members. The methods used are fun, easy to learn, and don’t include outdated techniques that use force, intimidation or “special equipment”. You’ll learn effective dog training methods that are gentle, simple and long lasting.

Each session is personally customized for you and your dog. Kate’s holistic approach considers every aspect of your dog’s environment, including his or her personality, history, physical abilities, breed characteristics and family lifestyle. This allows Kate to help your dog achieve his or her fullest potential.

Kate has been providing training and behavior counseling to her community for over 30 years, and has a well-established referral network of veterinarians, colleagues and previous clients. She looks forward to the opportunity of helping you and your dog achieve your training and behavioral goals.

Thank you for visiting Gentle Spirit Dog Training!
