The Trained Canine

I helped my friend find this trainer for her dog that was required to have training sessions by animal control. She was extremely honest and up front about how much work the training requires especially from the owners side. That said, she has been extremely accommodating and working with my friends dog for a couple sessions now, and she is doing an amazing job. I have seen huge improvements already, and the dog and my friend seem sooooo much happier in their relationship and life altogether! Too bad I don’t live in California, because I would hire her to come work with me and my dog in a heartbeat.

I contacted Kim about our new rescue adoption, Keira, a husky/shepherd mix. Keira had some bad habits that needed to be resolved, as well as learning basic commands. In addition, we needed her socialized with our cats. I liked how Kim used a variety of methods in working with Keira--not just a "one size fits all" approach. She has extensive experience in working with GSD as well, so she provided a lot of insight into the "thinking" of this breed. We learned so much & Keira responded to the training. I would highly recommend Kim to others that want an individual approach to training their dog.

We had a private consultation prior to hiring her. She came to our home and assessed our two corgi's. She did a demo with how she trains with one of our dogs and we were pleased with the results. That was when we decided to go forward with hiring her.

Kim is an exceptional dog trainer. We had rescued an adult doberman and needed some guidance both at home and in public. Kim came to our home and completed a very in-depth assessment of not only our dogs behaviors (or lack there of), but my husband's and mine. She then began a very systematic and personal approach to training our dog. Kim went above and beyond and came to our home to work with our dog and some of our friends and housekeeper that our dog was not doing well with. She also provided us with the tools to work with our dog and bring out the best in her. We could not be happier with the results that we have seen after the training that Kim has provided. I would highly recommend Kim for your dog training needs.

Kim communicates well and is easy to follow. She keeps it simple, so you can remember the techniques that work with your dog.
