FirstBarkKim is an excellent trainer. She is very patient , and gives instruction very clearly . She makes her clients and dogs feel very comfortable. I am so pleased how quickly my standard poodle Jack improved. I must admit you have to practice with your dog to do well. I would highly recommend her. Lori

About KV Dog Training
KV Dog Training LLC provides in home dog training in Dutchess County and surrounding areas. I focus on real life behavior, not just commands that work in a controlled setting. I help with leash pulling, reactivity, aggression, and the everyday issues that make living with your dog frustrating. I also work with puppies to prevent those problems from starting in the first place. This isn’t a cookie cutter program. I show you what’s actually causing the behavior and how to fix it in your day to day life so the results actually stick. All programs start with a comprehensive in-home consultation where I evaluate your dog, discuss your goals, and begin training right away. You’ll

Kim is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about dog training. We just had our initial consultation with Kim and cannot believe how much we have learned already! Kim is an amazing trainer! she has years of experience. She helped me to lead me dogs with confidence and read their signals. we accomplished a lot in one session. I'm looking forward to the next. We will definitely be continuing our training session.
KV dog training saved us!!! I have 2 puggle puppies and 1 1 year old husky. What was I thinking !!! Well we were at wits end. Kim at KV helped us train them and trained us on how to train our dogs to get along and not have aggression towards each other or toys, food and treats. We are so grateful to Kim and KV dog training. Enough cannot be said …. Thank you
