About
I excel at obedience training and can teach a dog to walk on a loose leash, by the owner's side, in less than 5 min. My obedience methods are extremely effective. I also work with dogs who have aggression and socialization issues. I take on cases that a lot of trainers are unsuccessful with because they don't have the type of training and experience that I have and they aren't willing to use the training tools necessary to rehabilitate dogs with severe behavior issues. Most of these dogs can be rehabilitated with the correct training tools and methods and owners who are willing to put in the time and effort to help their dog achieve balance. I have the knowledge which is backed by over 12 years of experience and I have completed nine hours of behavior modification college courses which is six hours more behavior education than veterinarians receive during their training. I enjoy helping people improve the behavior of their dogs. Many times I am the dog's last chance at life. Many times I am the one to create peace in the household. And when I see the dog start to become balanced and truly happy and I see the owners genuine appreciation for what I have taught them it makes it all worth while. It keeps me motivated to work hard every day to educate dog owners and to change the lives of problematic dogs. I just want to help people and their companion animals!!!

I have hired Karen to train my daughters two dogs, we have had one session so far but my daughters have said Karen is wonderful, really knows what she is doing and cares alot about the dogs. I will do another review once training is complete.

Karen has done an excellent job of working with me and my dog on our issues. I was at a loss of what to do with him and she swooped in and got us right on track. I would recommend her and wouldn't want to train with anyone else after meeting with her. Her techniques work. If you are struggling with behavior issues with your dog, don't hesitate to call Karen.

Thank you for the wonderful review. I have enjoyed working with you and your dog and I'm confident that with a bit more work he will be right on track!

We have been through 6 trainers for our aggressive dog, it seemed like we weren't getting anywhere and we were at wits end. Karen is number 7. Lucky number 7 it seems. We are amazed after one session. We worked with her for a little over two hours our first session and already understood why she is the one that really knows how to figure our dog out. We didn't believe we would ever be able to keep Ellie due to her extreme fear aggression, but now we have hope for her.

Ella was angel when I was home but the second I left her for work, she would do everything in her power to escape the crate. She tore through 3 metal crates as well as my carpet (not to mention I tried every calming trick in the book; feeding her in the crate, thunder shirt, music, rewarding her, nothing worked. Karen saved my life! With just one visit she was able to identify that Ella has containment issues and she may not be misbehaving due to separation anxiety. I have put her in my spare bedroom with a baby gate in the door way and she has been an angel since! Thank you Karen!
