I cannot say enough great things about Kristen and Angelic Paws. Her patience. Especially with Ricky parents, us and Ricky was not to be compared to. Kristen's techniques of positive reforcement is just what we wanted. We are all wiser and happier. Thank you so much

I’ve had dogs, including two previous Labrador Retrievers, before but never felt like I knew the proper way to train one without the use of a collar. When I picked up my new Labrador Retriever puppy in March, I knew I wanted to have a good idea of training methods before the summer. I found Kristin through a search and realized she was right in my neck of the woods. I set up four training sessions with her and I have nothing but positive feedback. Kristin was responsive and very easy to work with in setting up my four appointments. She clearly cares very much about dogs and making sure they are not only well cared for but also trained in a positive manner. She is incredibly knowledgeable and keeps up with all of the latest research and she had well thought out answers to every single question I asked through the four lessons. She can help you with many disciplines for your dog, including agility, hunting, or just general behavior and making your four legged best friend a great companion. I feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her. If you are looking to train your dog and are willing to put in the extra effort, rather than going to the collars/negative feedback, you can’t find a better place to start than with Kristin.
Kristin has been a valuable source of training advice, tips, and information for myself and my puppy. Her kind approach has been very effective, and has also helped me to better communicate with my pup. I highly recommend to anyone!
Virtual lessons were easy to setup, and the instructions were very practical. Definitely a great experience!
I have had a great experience with Angelic Paws - very happy with the training so far! The owner is very nice and genuinely cares about my dog's progress.
