About
I feel my work stands out from other professionals in the field because of my people skills AND my dog skills. People and their companion animals always go together and it is important to be able to communicate with both ends of the leash. I really enjoy seeing relationships develop between the dogs and their people. There are no "bad dogs" nor "bad people"...everyone just needs to learn what works and go from there.

Kim is a wonderful person and a sweet dog trainer. She is warm and patient with her clients, including the parents:-), and she seems to have a natural connection with my dog, he really likes her. I've observed and worked with other trainers, and Kim is the only one I found to have a gentle and patient approach with my dog. Kindness works far better than harshness. Kim is very skilled and I would highly reccomend her. She is also funny, so that added to the whole experience:-) Like her a lot, if you hire you, you won't be disappointed. Oh, I should add that Kim worked with my schedule and that was HUGE. She's great.

Working with Kim was an extremely positive experience. Kim came prepared with "puppy" topics to cover and handouts to review. What I liked most, though, was how responsive Kim was to our day-to-day questions such as how to get our pup to stop pouncing on her dog bowl and how to stop the pup from racing out the patio door as well as what to do when the pup doesn't want to follow you back inside the house. Kim demonstrated how to train our pup in our own home right in front of us and it was then easy for me to duplicate her behavior. Kim definitely knows dogs and is a phenomenal mentor.

Kim was very professional and really seems to understand dog behavior. She was not as harsh as some other behaviorists that I have worked with in the past. I am really excited to continue working with her!

Fabulous! Our miniature schnauzer Butch is a rescue dog she was able to explain his behavior. In the hour she spent with us, she determined the best way to react to his behavior, as well as give us the tools to train him. Incredibly personable and very experienced in all varieties of dog behaviors, I would highly recommend her!
