East Bay Dog Spot Dog Training

Kip is a really outstanding trainer During her beginner course, she could take any one of our dogs to use as an example (and believe me, many of us would joke and say PLEASE take mine!) and she just has this way about her that speaks to the dog. You can learn so much by just watching how she communicates with the dogs. Her classes were such a game changer for us. I initially wanted to be able to walk a “non pulling dog” and work in her impulse control. After 6 weeks, Kips classes helped my pup with impulse control (because being in class with other dogs was a HUGE help in this process) and most importantly I can walk my dog loose leash. Loose leash wasn’t something that just came about. It was everything that Kip taught us during the classes. It all builds an amazing foundation. Tonight, after graduation, we had another walk through the neighborhood where she walked right next to me. She paid attention, enjoyed her walk, met other dogs and was able to read what I asked of her. I was able to read what she was doing. Kip is really a great teacher. She is fun, makes it fun, and I swear, every dog there was so engaged because of the fun in learning. I was worried my pup was too hyper for a class with a few other dogs, but this ended up being the best class for my dog. We are signed up for the Intermediate class next, and I know my dog is looking forward to it as much as I am. Pepper & Jane

We just finished the puppy/beginner class with our dog Jack and could not happier! If you are looking for a great trainer that uses positive reinforcement. She transformed our 10 months old Aussiedoodle from a strong puller to an excellent walker that now walks on a loose leash right by my side. Even in a group class you feel like you and your dog get one on one time and attention. She’s a good people trainer as well and trains you how to train your dog! We have already signed up for our next class and can’t wait to see what else our Jack will learn.
