Kc is walking my big naughty pit mix while I am pregnant. Can I just say even when Im not as big as a house I struggle with him, he is reactive to a lot of stuff when I take him for a stroll. I trust no one when it comes to handling my dogs, but I was familiar with Kc and thought if anyone can do it, she can. He seems to be a different dog when she is with him. Broc is super OCD when it comes to tennis balls....No one, other than my husband or myself have ever been able get him to give it back. When she dropped Broc off today she is standing at my doorstep with a tennis ball in her hand, and Broc isnt paying any attention to it. Mind blown! She obviously has a way with dogs. I am now thinking of hiring her for training after this baby is born. I figured he was too old to really benefit much from a trainer.....but today I think she verified that my lack of understanding of what to do when he is being bad is the real problem.

KC helped me understand how to listen and learn from my dogs behavior. I took advantage of her personalized training plan since I live too far away for her at home training. She sent me some step by step training techniques to help me not only work with my dogs fear aggression, but also helped me strengthen my role as the pack leader. I am so happy with the results and use her plan every day to work on getting closer with my little trouble maker. <3

I have never met someone with so much passion, love and determination to rescue, save and train Dogs. This was a dream for her and she has worked hard to pursue this dream. She will continue to work hard to help every Family and their Fur Babies to resolve issues and circumstances to keep fur babies with their Familes in addition helping find homes for Dogs and helping Families understand and have knowledge to keep Dogs in their homes!

Kc has a deep rooted love and passion for training dogs that goes above and beyond anything I've ever witnessed before. She is flexible and patient and even creates a structured individualized plan, that is easy to follow when you're at home with your pet so you can continue the work she does with them personally. She works with all breeds, in all states and does not play favorites, she loves each one as if they are her own. Kc is just overall one of the most amazing humans I've ever had the privilege of knowing. If you get the opportunity to work with her, your pets will thank you :)

I am certified through the Animal Behavioral College in 7 different areas. I also have years of experience volunteering with local techies and shelters.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
After training and rehabilitating rescue dogs for many years, I lost one due to behavioral issues I was not equipped to handle. I vowed to never go through that again and set out to educate myself beyond my experience.
