Meet Karin Linden, Professional Dog Trainer

Philosophy
Karin believes training should be the responsibility of the trainer, rather than a homework burden for her clients. She’s designed all Little Paws Big Adventures programs—particularly her Petagogy Academy and hiking services—with this in mind, keeping demands on clients and their families as minimal as possible.

Karin also believes in training for real-life results. That’s why Petagogy Academy takes place in your own home environment and why training games include your children to get your pup ready for family life.

Training Methods
For the well being of puppies and dogs, and clients’ peace of mind, Karin uses only positive reinforcement training methods. Real-life results are best achieved when everyone—trainer, dog, and client—are relaxed and thus able to learn freely.
