"Kim is one of those rare individuals who not only has natural ability but a true passion for what she does, which makes it hard to overstate how valuable she has been to my veterinary practice over the years. I have had countless phone calls from clients thanking me for referring them to her for training. Her dependability and professionalism are matched only by her kindness and compassion. The natural bond she has with dogs is readily apparent, as her calm demeanor elicits an eager response from them. From puppy training to dealing with behavioral issues in older dogs and everything in between, Kim succeeds in helping them become a happy and balanced member of the family."

"We first met Kim almost two years ago when our daughter was just learning to walk. Our beloved dog, Bandit, was not pleased with her lurching around the house, pulling his tail and frequently landing on top of him. He started growling at her and displaying some aggression. Our vet expressed very real concern and suggested we might need to give him away or contact Kim for a consultation. We were devastated and knew something had to be done. Within a week of hiring Kim, she helped us get everything back in order. She taught us how dogs think, how to use training times throughout the day to teach Bandit his role in the house and also engage his mind. Our sweet dog went back to  being the lovable guy we'd always known. Today, he and our daughter are the best of friends and he has infinite patience and love for her. Kim still walks Bandit twice per week and honestly, I don't know what we'd do without her. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone considering dog training - she's been an absolute lifesaver to us!"

"Kim was recommended to me by a good friend for pet sitting/walking our 9 year-old Chihuahua mix, Ollie. Kim has been a God send!!! Even on short notice, she makes the effort to adjust her schedule to take Ollie on a midday walk when I am not available to do so.  She recently took care of Ollie for 5 days and everything went very smoothly. (None of Ollie's stubborn attributes appeared. Amazing!) Kim is professional, highly reliable and very dependable. I love the occasional photo texts I receive when she is with Ollie. I am so grateful to Kim for giving Ollie such fine care and giving my husband and I the peace of mind knowing that our 'little buddy' is happy and being well taken care of."

"Kim is such a great trainer! She worked with us and helped transform our mouthy, jumpy, underwear-eating golden retriever puppy into an angel!!! She provided great follow up to make sure we, the parents, were keeping on top of our training with Lilly."

"We came to Kim because we needed help understanding how to discipline and manage our Golden Retriever. Kim really understands dog psychology. After our first training session, Kim devised a plan for us that showed us how to take the necessary steps to correctly discipline and enjoy our dog without having to worry. Kim is super professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We are very happy with our results!"
