I have been taking herding lessons with my border collie at The Meadow Ranch for about a year now. As a fellow animal behavior and welfare professional, I am admittedly selective about what trainers I expose my dogs (and myself) to. I am always looking to ensure that I'm learning from professionals who are fair, humane, adaptable based on the individual dog, and can think critically about training strategies. Kelsey is all of those things. She is skilled, very professional, and fun to work with. My dog and I always leave feeling better off than when we arrived, which is the core goal of all of my training sessions. She has helped me bring out the best of my dog's natural abilities and I have learned so much from her! Highly recommend.

The Meadow Ranch is a beautiful training facility. Kelsey is professional, knowledgeable, and always friendly. With her help, my dog Ozzie and I have gone from being total beginners to able to compete successfully in dog agility trials while having fun! I highly recommend Kelsey for agility, obedience, and herding training.

The Meadow Ranch has been so good for my working line border collie. He leaves his lessons mentally exhausted and more balanced. As a veterinarian, I often recommend working with Kelsey for clients with herding dogs who feel restless and need a job.

Kelsey has helped me so much with my reactive dog Harley, a great dane mix.
She knows how dogs think and gets the most out of our training time. She gives me positive and practical feedback that I can use for my homework between lessons.
She even enlists her own dogs to help things along which has proven to be an invaluable contribution to our success. She's the best!!!

I currently have the the pleasure of working with Kelsey as my dog trainer and I cannot recommend her enough! She is truly exceptional in her field and has a unique talent for connecting with dogs and understanding their behavior. From the first session, it was clear that Kelsey is not just a dog trainer, but also a passionate advocate for animal welfare and a wonderful teacher for pet owners.
Kelsey is patient, kind, and knowledgeable - and my puppy loves going to her puppy class. Her positive reinforcement techniques works wonders and my puppy is learning so much after just a few sessions. Kelsey is also very responsive to my questions and concerns throughout the training process, and always takes the time to explain things in a way that is easy to understand.
Overall, I highly recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate dog trainer who truly cares about the well-being of both dogs and their owners. Thank you, Kelsey, for all that you do!
