A huge shout-out to Kimberlee of Black Magic Dog Training. She practices the balanced training method, and her knowledgeable, hands-on approach was exactly what my foster Belgian Malinois needed after being adopted out for two months and returned with intense reactivity and other new challenges. Kimberlee carefully assessed my foster and crafted a focused plan to tackle the reactivity episodes, including the safe use of a prong collar.The results were impressive — we saw measurable improvement within a single session. Kimberlee showed us how to apply techniques safely and confidently. Training felt like a fun, collaborative journey that empowered both dog and human.If you want a skilled, compassionate trainer who blends clear instruction with real-world results, give Black Magic Dog Training a try!

Wow! I am so impressed with Kimberlee. She does in your own home training as well as daycare and board and train. We rescued a dog in Costa Rica that had been born in the shelter and lived there for 26 months! Not a lot of interaction out in the real world. Just daily walks at the grounds surrounding the shelter. No home visits or car rides. He started Resource guarding me from other members in our household. We have had him home for 2 months and he is becoming more self assured bit by bit. He is seeing me more as his comfort person now. She is very patient with him and has simple tips for us to work on with him. He is getting along with our other two dogs and slowly thinking other people aren’t so bad. He is such a smart and loving dog. Kimberlee is bringing out the best in him (and us!) I would highly recommend her. The in home training is amazing. Plus the doggy daycare board and train. We had her watch all three dogs overnight and I thought they would hate it. They have never been without us. When she comes over they are all scrambling for her attention. So, they indeed had fun. 10 out of 10. Do it!! More...

Can not recommend Kimberlee enough! As a first time dog owner I had no idea how to handle my dogs anxiety. I had previously tried training elsewhere at a pretty established training center and it did not have an impact on my dog's behavior so I was nervous to try again. I am not joking when I tell you the majority of the issues I was having with my dog were solved within a week of working with Kimberlee! Her training has dramatically improved my relationship with my dog. She goes above and beyond and clearly has an amazing understanding of dogs. More...

Kimberlee is great. She is clear about what needs to be done with your pup. She pays attention to your issues and your interactions with your dog. My german sheppard/husky mix is not trusting but he took to her immediately. Always a great sign in my book anyway. Cree has only been with Black Magic Training for 3 days now but I have high hope. Give her a try I believe you will be happy with the results. More...

We had an amazing experience and Kimberlee was seriously such a big help teaching my dog and I some training basics! He loves to jump on everyone and is very reactive to the front door, but she showed us how to correct HIS behavior and the actions WE can take in those situations. Her tips and training advice were very clear and she explained each step, also showing us how we can continue this training on our own. My dog is very food motivated, so we used treats and affection as rewards. The training was tailored straight for his personality and what works for him, which I really appreciated! I’m really impressed with the results we achieved in such a short amount of time. She was kind, patient and very informative. I highly recommend!!!!! More...

Kimee has been a constant source of growth for not only my dog but also myself. Whether it’s behavioral modification or confidence training etc. she’s been consistent in their mission to improve my dogs life and give me the tools needed to make sure training sticks. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else and look forward to seeing just how much my dog is capable of with her guidance! More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love giving people peace of mind, and giving dogs access to all the living they miss out on when their behaviors keep their bubble small. More than anything I love helping people and dogs live their best lives together.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started my own business because I wanted to help others in a flexible way, without restrictions. Many larger training companies do not get results the way I do, and I wanted to be able to share my skillset in a way that empowers people and betters the lives of dogs.
Why should our clients choose you?
Black Magic Dog Training gets results. We do not care about selling you expensive treats or stacking up on recurring costs. We want you and your dog to succeed; the goal should always be that you never need us again! When you work with us, you can rest easy knowing that the best version of your dog is yours.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
We do not advertise remote training packages, but in some cases we may be able to help via video chat exclusively. You may request this when you contact us, but please understand that there are some cases where hands-on work is going to be most effective!
That said, we do offer online support via our client portal, where you can ask questions, get updates on training, and more.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Our staff is fully vaccinated and wears masks upon request during all private lessons, pickups and dropoffs, field trips, and all other interactions with other people.
Private Lessons
Our package for in-home training. We come to your home or other agreed-upon location, do some hands-on work with your dog tailored to your goals, and teach you how to tackle your concerns between lessons. The goal is always to empower you, the owner.
Day Train
A trainer takes your dog in the morning, and you take them back in the afternoon. A very collaborative program that combines the hands-on work of a board-and-train with the communicative learning of private lessons.
Board-and-train
The most hands-off for you, the owner. Your dog stays in the trainer's home, typically for three weeks. During this time they get daily training, exercise, field trips, and 24/7 care. You attend a go-home lesson at the end of training to learn maintenance skills, and a trainer does the rest.
