We sent our two mini-dachshunds, Toro and Timber, to the two-week board and train. We are so happy with the results! Since the training their re-call has been great and we have even had them on off-leash walks where appropriate. We are expecting our first child soon and as an added bonus the board and train program gave our pups exposure to walking with a stroller and being around around a 1-year old. The 'place' command has been my favorite and has made it really easy to get the dogs to hop up on a chair and sit there while I put their leashes on. Finally, Kirstie is super communicative and sent us lots of pictures, videos, and updates which we loved and really appreciated.

I can't recommend Birdie's K9 Academy enough. Kirstie is an unremarkable dog trainer and an all around great person who's passion for dogs is unparalleled. I thought my dog Steve would be an impossible task for any trainer, but for Kirstie it was a walk in the park (literally and figuratively). She went above and beyond my expectations, and taught me and my dog how to finally communicate with each other. I am so grateful that I found her!
