We were looking for a trainer for our Hound Mix (Castle) and Australian Shepherd (Chessie), and were looking for someone who utilized positive reinforcement training (i.e. no e-collar). Kelly was the answer! Chessie and Castle each had different things that they needed some help with, and Kelly has given us the tools we needed to help with it all. Chessie and Castle loved every session with her, and we couldn't be happier with the results!

We had such a wonderful experience using Kelly to train our puppy Buster! Like many others this year, our family did the mid pandemic puppy rescue and we were thrilled to add Buster to our family. However, we knew with two young kids and the fact that we live near a main road it was imperative that we got help with training. Kelly was so friendly and responsive right away, and although her attention was on our puppy, she mainly taught us (in the nicest way possible!) ways to be better pet owners. Buster is high energy but Kelly helped us learn how to work some of that out with him through various activities and showed us that he is actually a very well mannered pup and picks up commands quickly! He is already getting rave reviews at his doggie daycare on how well he listens- and I can throw a treat across the room without him running after it. Kelly was a blessing during this crazy time and we cannot wait to watch our already well behaved 6 month old pup thrive thanks to her training!

I can't say enough good things about Kelly. She helped us rehome and condition our dog Sylvester. He came from a hunt club who treated him well but no longer had a need for him. She helped us create a home for Sylvester and helped him make sense of his new world. He came to us riddled with anxiety and with no knowledge of what treats and toys were. He is now a dog that greets you at the door, gladly takes treats from your hand, and will cuddle up next to you even if you don't want him to.

Kelly is awesome with dog training. She is professional, reliable and knows how to train the toughest of dogs. We have a wild little shih-tzu and she has taught it to sit, heal, stay, come, and the most importantly, potty-training. She even taught our little furball how to look at a treat on her paw and not touch it until we say so. She does all of this training with a positive approach; and that goes a long way with us. Highly recommended.
