About
If you are interested in talking about your dog and the goals you have, please feel free to give me a call. If you are just shopping prices please read further as it lays out all my prices below. We can do a FREE Phone Consultation! I'm here to answer your questions about your dog! The first thing I do is set up a 90 Minute Training Consultation (Price $175). I come to your home, assess the situation and go over a plan for you and your dog to be successful. I offer private training in your home ($150 per lesson for 1 dog) teaching you and your pup (or pups) to focus on you as their leader. All my training is permission based, teaching them manners and teaching you how to maintain control. I am not currently offering Board and Train Services. I love and adore dogs and it is so gratifying to see a well-behaved, confident and focused dog. I specialize in rescue dogs because a trained dog is a saved dog!!

My dog and I are confident that Karyn has instilled in us the training we need to build a long lasting relationship, and our journey to become a therapy dog! Thanks to Karyn and her expertise through it all, it has been fun and enlightening! I highly recommend Karyn!!!!

Karen has been an excellent "guide on the side" for us as we train our two rescued dobies. The training has been great and she has been very helpful with basic care tips as well.

Karyn has been so amazing with my pup, Reagan! I could tell as soon as our first training session that this was going to turn things around. Reagan is extremely anxious and sometimes aggressive around strangers and other dogs. It’s only gotten worse as she continues to have bad experiences and I isolate her more and more. I originally tried another training service that kept the dogs boarded for a few weeks in a boot-camp setting. I was unhappy with the results, the place felt very punishment-based and didn’t actually address Reagan’s specific problems or give me any tools to address them. Fast forward to my first session with Karyn, she focused on giving me commands and activities to practice that fit into my everyday routine. She improved how I was correcting Reagan, and that has made all the difference. Karyn is thoughtful about the environment we’re in during training. Because Reagan needs practice around other dogs, we train outside of dog parks or walk with Karyn’s dogs. She always gives rationale about why Reagan is doing something and it’s given me confidence now to take Reagan out in public. I’ve seen tremendous progress after each session and am excited to continue working with her. I can’t recommend Karyn enough!

Karyn is a true professional. Luna learned some basic self control, and loved lesson times. We will continue to work with Best Behaved Pups as Luna advances through her obedience training.
