As a trainer and dog lover myself, I believe that the most common issues that pet owners encounter, stem from confusion: the confusion that arises when you combine two different species in one household. Dogs arent people and people arent dogs, and each has their own individual and essential way of viewing the world. As a trainer, my goal is to teach people a better understanding of these differences in perspective, and to develop a line of communication that both can clearly and easily understand. In doing so, I strive to connect people with their pets, and to create a harmonious living situation that will satisfy the needs of both.Good training is the careful blending of science and art. Behavioral science provides us with mountains of information to work with. Our dogs provide us information as well, and the"art"is in reading our dogs, and adapting what we know to what we learn from them. It is this art that I attempt to impart to my human clients. Providing them with a better understanding of their dogs, along with proven methods and techniques shaping their dog's desirable behaviors and changing their problematic behavior, allows them to build the best possible relationship with their canine friends.

Kim trained my 2 adult German Shepherds years ago. When they passed, I got 2 Aussies puppies...what do I do with puppies?!?! Call Kim!!! Kim trained my Aussies as puppies and now as young adults. They are lovely well behaved dogs and so much fun! I have used Kim both as a long term trainer and for specific behavior issues. Kim is by far the best trainer in the field....she is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met when it comes to animal behaviors and how to correct an issue. Kim trains with patience, understanding and humor...and rewards! It's a win - win. Kim has been the perfect choice in all cases. She is the first person I would recommend to anyone looking for a dog trainer. Call her!
