I love working with Lane! She is so amazing and also super cool. My puppy loves her and is super responsive to her! Everytime I bring up a smaller side quest during one of our sessions Lane is on it immediately and my puppy caught on right away! I would really recommend working with Lane from Kalas K9, Im doing the puppy training the price is super fair and worth every penny, she’s worked with us for only 4 or 5 sessions so far and the results are amazing already! I’m so glad I found Lane shes the best!

Lane gave me lots of training tips that actually worked for my two toy poodles that were very stubborn. They seemed to train me, but Lane was able to reverse the roles. I'm going to continue the training protocol and couldn't be happier that I found her! The girls finally learned to sit🐾🐾

Lane is patient with our dog and us trying to train our dog so he is a better companion for us and visitors than come to the house.

Lane is wonderful, we could see a difference in our 2 dogs after the first session. She explains everything and stresses patience. I would highly recommend Kala's K9 if you have large or small dogs, you won't be disappointed with the results. Highly recommend!!!

Our family cannot say enough positive things about Lane. We recently rescued Kona, our 11 month old lab mix and it has been a night and day difference from when we first rescued her until now. Lane makes every technique and training trip easy to understand and provides great feedback to help you connect with your dog to get the results you are looking for. Shes always reliable and helps to answer questions, even when shes not in a training session with you and wants to see the best results from your dog. Growing up with dogs myself I thought I knew a lot, but she showed me so much more. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking to improve their connection with their dog.

Thank you so much Greg! I was so glad to hear about how well she did over Christmas. Thank you for trusting me to train her 😌
