Kim was so great with me and Drake. She tailored the ques for training around bad behaviors at home and what I can do to prevent those from happening. We hadn't had a training since we first got him as a puppy, now 2 years later this was just the refresher we both needed. I think we'll all be happier from having her over! More...

Kim is absolutely amazing!! In my case, she helped with training progressions to help my pupper learn efficiently. She pointed out things that seemed obvious, and made me learn that sometimes the obvious things can lead to bad behaviors down the road.

I hired Kim to train my Yorkie mix in my home and neighborhood, and the results were instantly positive! Through training, we both learned from Kim, and I have greater confidence in my ability to manage my dog so that we are both happy on our walks.
Kim is outstanding, delightful, professional and very smart!!! I highly recommend her to anyone.

I adopted a young foxhound named Charlie last April. He was everything I wasn't looking for. He was extremely timid, fearful and downright shut down.
Afraid of men, children, noises...everything, I just couldn't leave him at the shelter. They were very honest about how much work he would need. I got Kim's name through a trusted friend and I couldn't be happier. When she came to our home the first time Charlie wouldn't go near her. He didn't know how to sit, would flinch at a sudden noise or movement, counter surfed like it was his job, chewed pillows, couches etc..he jumped at my 81 year old mother to greet her (which terrified her since he is a big boy)Now he greets Kim happily and no longer jumps. With Kim's help he has mastered sit, wait, off, leave it and has begun to meet new people with far less fear. He is still wary of newcomers but definitely warms up faster. Kim is very patient with Charlie, my mom and I. We have needed as much, if not more, training than Charlie and Kim has walked with us through journey. We continue to work with Kim and I am very grateful for all of her hard work. She is incredibly accommodating and has given me greater confidence to be the leader I need to be for Charlie. I highly recommend Kim. She has helped our cowering, fearful dog to become a beloved family member.

What do you love most about your job?
I find it especially rewarding to assist customers in strengthening the bond with their dogs as they learn together. Practicing basic skills builds confidence, focus and makes every day with your dog a positive experience!
