What people have asked about this business.

I sincerely do apologize for what I can only describe as the pure stupidity in what I am about to ask... but here goes nothing... Is there any way to reach out to you guys that isn't a phone call? I am legally deaf and do not know what to do?

They have a Facebook page and you may contact them thru that.

Jen is incredibly knowledgeable. She and her daughter are the only staff I've worked with. They can train us humans on pet care very well!!

Jenn and her staff are wonderful! We have been doing training sessions with her for the past 4 months and our French bulldog who has reactivity and aggression issues has improved greatly! We just finished our first board and train at Kawa Farms, and we are very happy with how it went, they took excellent care of our dog. We are so happy we found Kawa Farms! :]

GREAT EXPERIENCE!! Our 6 month old spent a week here during Spring Break. The time Jen spent with us at pick up was MOST VALUABLE!! We have a better understanding of how we were previously confusing our dog, and she showed us how to correct our actions. (All 4 of us....including our 6 and 8 year old daughters.) THANK YOU!! We'll be back. 😃

We adopted a rescue that was already full size...100#. We were told he was just broken and trained....joke was on us we he broke out of his kennel and DISTROYED our house the first day he was home alone (2 weeks after adoption) TWICE in one day. DISTROYED isn’t a word that I use lightly....imagine the amount of poop a 100# dog can produce....now imagine that in liquid form + stress/separation anxiety (that we didn’t know he had) + urine being tracked for your house for HOURS after his Houdini style escape(s)....windows, walls, couch, rugs, doors, counters, etc. covered in “Lewie-liquids” (not to mention the hole in the drywall next to the front door and the kitchen window from his attempts to escape). He was the worst of the worst and we allllll needed Jen’s help. She was a gift from my parents for Christmas and boy she, to this day, is the best thing that could have happened to all of us. She was ON IT. She worked with Lewie immediately and endlessly with positivity and understanding. She was available to us for any and all questions we had and, quite honestly, trained us, just as much as she trained our fur child in how to communicate and understand each other. Over a 6 month period our pup went from “untrainable” to the “perfect”. Lewie is now a free-to-range-the-home pet with no issues. We all walked alway with so many new understandings of each other. And when Lewie (and the humans) had graduated from needing her help she still makes phone calls/texts/and house calls when she is in the area to check in on us and we are all excited to see her. Lewie improved almost immediately on a leash, he knows both sign language commands, and verbal commands. He has undergone impulse control trainings (if something falls on the floor he doesn’t immediately try to eat it but instead looks to his humans, makes eye contact, and waits for commands in order to take something). Jen also was there when we brought home our daughter from the hospital to make sure that there weren’t any early signs of contention and uneasiness on Lewie’s Part. She also interpreted the good behaviors that Lewie would display around our daughter and why they were important. I could go on and on but I hope this helps paint a picture of not only how important your pup is but how vitally important your TRAINER is. We found a friend for LIFE! Thanks to Kawa Farms for everything that you have done and continue to do for us! I would also like to add: the negative reviews...this isn’t magic...if you want to have your pup listen to you then you also have to be willing to put in the time just as they have. If you don’t want to listen to their professional opinion and aren’t getting the same results as the profession then maybe it’s not the professionals fault. You can’t see change if you don’t change. If you don’t like the professional opinion get a second one. And a third. And if you get the same opinion from all of them then move on.
