About Us

Pivotal Pittsburgh Dog Training, led by Kara Hoffman, provides professional, in-home dog training services, board and trains, group classes and pack walks throughout Pittsburgh, PA and surrounding areas. We specialize in obedience training, puppy training, leash manners, and behavior modification, helping dogs and owners build clear communication and real-world reliability.

Kara has spent years helping dogs and their families build stronger, happier relationships through clear communication and proven training methods. A few years ago, an injury pulled her away from the industry she loves, but it never dimmed her passion for working with dogs and their people. Kara is dedicated to making training a fun, rewarding experience for both dogs and their people.
