Questions about which option fits your dog? Call 480-628-4079 — Katy, our Head Trainer + Pack Leader, can help you choose.
Our approach
Dog psychology first. Training second.
Commands matter, but they only stick when a dog's mind is calm and clear. That's why everything at Katy's K9s starts with how dogs think, learn, and feel safe.
1
Understand the dog
We look at energy, body language, and motivation — not just the behavior you see on the surface — so training addresses the cause, not only the symptom.
2
Structure they can trust
Predictable routines, clear boundaries, and consistent follow-through help dogs relax. A dog who knows what to expect is a dog who can learn.
3
Teach the human, too
Lasting change happens at home. You'll leave with clear, practical guidance you can actually use on walks, at the door, and in everyday life.
Life here
A home, not a kennel — on over an acre in Mesa
This is the part owners tell us they love most: boarding and training dogs don't stay in a separate kennel facility. They live in our home, with us, as part of the household.
They live in our home
Boarded dogs live in the house with Katy and her household — couches, routines, and real home life included.
Never unattended
The dogs are with us around the clock. No empty building overnight, no long stretches alone — someone is always there.
Over an acre to roam
Our Mesa property sits on over an acre of land, with room to run, play, train, and decompress outdoors every day.
Every photo on this page is a real Katy's K9s photo — from @katysk9s on Instagram ↗ and Katy & Major's own camera roll — no stock, no illustrations.
About the owners
Locally owned. Personally run. Dog-obsessed.
Katy's K9s is owned by Katy Cartell and her husband, Major Cartell, in Mesa, Arizona, on over an acre of land, serving families across Mesa and the East Valley. It's a small, intentional program — not a big-box kennel — built around knowing each dog as an individual.
Head Trainer + Pack LeaderKaty Cartell
Katy leads every training program and runs the pack day to day — the structure, the sessions, and the dogs' daily routine are all hers.
Co-Owner + CEOMajor CartellMajor is co-owner and CEO of Katy's K9s, running the business side of the operation alongside Katy — and, like Katy, he's right here at home with the dogs every day.
Dogs who stay with us live in our home with us and our household, and they're never unattended. It's the same promise behind our Instagram bio: your dog's all-inclusive home away from home.
Whether your dog is here for an hour-long training session, a single day of camp, a week of boarding, or the full 45-day board & train, they get the same thing: structure, patience, exercise, and clear communication.
