  • Animal Rescue
  • Boundary Training
  • Commands
    Program details

    I like to start with 21 commands and will add on more as we go through the training. We will cover different obedience, behavioral, social, domestication, and safety commands. All command words can be changed and adjusted for each dog. Your dog will learn different commands for each environment he is in. He will need to know what is expected of him at all times, so there isn’t any miscommunication. He will have different and additional commands at the park, veterinarian, riding in the car, Petco, Petsmart, when company comes to the door, greeting a strange dog, etc. We will take it one command at a time until your dog understands what you want him to do in various situations and locations.

  • Dog Behaviorist
  • Dog Jumping
  • Dog Parties
    Program details

    Dog Parties are an amazing way for me to socialize your dog as well as keep in touch with you during, and after our initial training. The dog parties help me teach the dogs how to play nicely with each other as well as with the adults and kids that are there. I only allow dogs I have trained to attend the dog parties. This way we can ensure that all the dogs attending will listen and behave with one another. Most people keep in touch with me through the dog parties. This way you can ask questions, keep your dog socialized throughout his life, not to mention give him a workout playing with all the pups.

  • Socialization
    Program details

    Don't think that you will be missing out on socialization if you go with in home training. Socialization is a huge part of our training. Your dog will feel confident and will respond in all types of situations once the training is completed.

  • Support Dog Training
  • Training Process
    Program details

    We will start by scheduling two times a week for me to meet with you at your home or other place of choice to begin training. We begin with three weeks for on-leash training and six weeks for on and off leash training. The first lesson will last 2 hours, some longer depending on the severity of the problems. The lessons thereafter will last approximately an hour. Each time I come out I will begin teaching your dog the new commands as well as the hand signals. You are watching and listening during this time so that you understand the training methods. Once I see that he/she is catching on I will begin working with you (with your dog) to make sure he/she will listen to you. I will continue to help until you feel comfortable with the new commands. Each week you and your dog will learn more commands. We will cover the obedience commands with our voice and hand signals, as well as without our voice.

  • Training Programs

Kim is literally the dog whisper and my sweet puppy just loved being trained by her. She listens to commands and has learned to be gentle and I just could not recommend Kim enough. You will love her and her sweetness towards your puppy. She takes the time to listen to your millions of questions and respects you to be patient when you just need more time learning how to help your puppy. My sweet puppy just loves her.

Amazing individual, direct and clear communication not only to me but also with my beautiful German shepherd Archie. Thank you so much for teaching me how to introduce him to both people and puppies!

When you read the reviews for Kim, you think, how can someone get so many great reviews. Then you meet Kim and watch your dog respond to her training. We have had two Border Collies prior to this one. Her name is Skye and she is our 1st female (very stubborn one year old). We knew we needed help. We thought we were very knowledgeable about dogs after decades with our last two. She had Skye behaving within minutes and gave us an incredible amount of knowledge so that we can continue her training . Very rarely do you meet someone who is truly a master at their profession.

I absolutely love Kim! She helped me teach my husband and kids how to train our Golden retriever puppy Mr. Feeney. Now my 4 year old daughter and 7 year old son are confident in getting Mr. Feeney to listen to them and when he chooses not to listen to me the kids say "I got this mom" and he listens to them for the most part. He is still just a puppy so I'm not expecting perfect behavior but he is wonderful for a 6 month old puppy! I love that Kim does puppy parties with her clients only because it keeps our little guy socialized and tires him out. I'm a Veterinary Technician and I can't recommend Kim enough!!!

Kim did an incredible job with our puppy Maggie! We have seen a significant change before and after her lessons with obedience. Kim is very knowledgeable and experienced in her training and we would highly recommend her!
