Kish is the best. She is so smart and highly educated. And the most friendly genuine person you'll ever meet. My dog is nervous around strangers and was always trying to be her class pet right from the beginning. We spent several months with her and I would go back in a heartbeat! More...

Kish is an awesome trainer and Down Dog is the place to bring your dogs for training without question. She and her team are great coaches and are very attentive during class and are great resources for questions related to dog behavior. They are all dog people who want nothing but for you and your dog to succeed together. Class is fun and the skills you learn are really helpful for real life situations that will come up with you and your dog. More...

I had a private lesson with our dog for some behavior issues and Kish was extremely helpful and knowledgeable on the issue. I had reached out to other trainers for help and was never given such helpful information. She is wonderful. More...

We just finished the Step Up Pup class at Down Dog with our new puppy (was 4 months at the time). It really helped us get an understanding for training basics and learning the behaviors of our dog. Kish and Jennifer are always willing to answer questions and jump in with suggestions. I'm so impressed with their dog behavior knowledge and were hoping to return in the future for more classes!

Kish takes a caring, informed, sensible approach that values the dogs and helps and the humans. Kindness and clarity are her hallmarks, and her approach is the soundest, best I have encountered in my many years with dogs.

I highly recommend Down Dog Studio. Kish is so very helpful, she responds quickly to emails and is patient with new puppy parents (like ME) who need more instructions than the puppies. :) Thanks, Kish!!

This is the only place you want to be to have a positive successful learning experience for you and your dog. After several horrible experiences with other trainers using pinch collars, choke collars and vinegar spray I reached out to Kish. My puppy changed from an unruly, aggressive, in your face barking baby shark to an attentive, happy, eager, responsive loving fur baby after just a few days. Kish uses evidence based practices that are humane and work. She addresses the issues that are unique to you and your dog. She has given us written and video resources to hone our skills. My puppy and I look forward to our daily training. We have fun and it is easy. Kish truly has a heart and a mission for her students, both 4 legged and 2 legged. I am forever grateful to her!!

We were able to learn how to motivate our adopted adult dog to learn new commands and helped our other adult dog learn some great skills. Our small dog has some reactive leash behaviors and has been very fearful of kids and some adults. He also would run away when not leashed and had bad anxiety. Now we have learned how to control and stop his reactivity, he can be happily off leash at our cabin with good recall, and actually enjoyed playing with kids when they used his commands to play fetch. This summer is like night and day from last summer (before our sessions with Kish)! We are incredibly thankful and recommend her to anyone! More...

Down Dog is top notch! Kish uses the best training methods around to make sure your dog is learning, she is an expert problem solver and her classes are nothing like the ineffective chain stores that just teach your dog a routine. Kish helped me discover that the most stubborn dog I have ever worked with was just smart and bored. We are blessed to have someone so amazing in our area. More...

Kish is amazing, providing individualized training based on specific needs of your dog in her one-on-one at home sessions. It is time and money well spent. She is knowledgeable and personable, and our dog not only loves her, but has made noticeable improvements as a result of working with her. More...

Kish is so wonderful! I've been to a few different puppy schools, but Down Dog Studio is BY FAR the best. She knows what she is doing and she trains dogs the right way! Class sizes are perfect. Every family is provided an individual space to train with their dog. My dog loves going there. Thank you Kish for everything!!! :) More...

I just completed the puppy preschool class with my 12 week old French Bulldog, Larry, and I HIGHLY recommend this program for all new puppy owners. I have had dogs my whole life, but there was so much I learned from Kish, and taking this class that I had never known! The puppy preschool offers so many fundamentals (for both the dog and the owner!) that give a good basis to build on, and I found that even just having the weekly socialization aspect for a puppy is VERY beneficial!!

Down dog has been such a great experience for me and my pit bull, Molly. She is a really smart girl but she needed to work on her manners with guests and she is reactive to other dogs. Kish has been so good at working with her and being patient with her. She doesn't use the prong collar, which I was happy about, and uses positive reinforcement to train. She also understands the breed which is important to me. We started with group class and then went to in home when she got kennel cough and couldn't be in the group setting. I am a student and I work and she has been great about scheduling and very easy to work with. Kish also has a plethora of references and videos that I can watch with my boyfriend so he knows what we are working on as well and can help train. We are still in the process of working with Molly, but I feel like I have been set up to have success with her training and that I am well equipped to work with her on her issues. Kish has been a great trainer and I can't say enough how thankful we are to have her help and expertise. I highly recommend her for even the most difficult dogs. She's a great trainer and great person! More...

Kish is absolutely amazing. She helped our family deal with our sweet husky Kylo and some sudden aggression issues he was having. She was always just a text away if we needed anything and always responded as quickly as she could. Thank you so much for everything you did for us. We will always be indebted to you. �� More...

First time dog owner, was always told shock collar, choke chain, prong collar. This is a place where they throw all those out the door and teach the right way. In 6 sessions they teach to have that mutual respect between dog and owner and prove no need to use such aggressive styles. Oh and no pull collars are awesome. More...
