Kirsti and Trevor are fabulous. They have guided me and trained Teddy beautifully. Teddy also had the 3 week board and train. Teddy came back a new puppy. He listens to all commands. He walks great on his leash. No jumping etc. I can't express how grateful I feel that I found Kirsti and Trevor. Most importantly they had the utmost patience with me. Honestly I thought I just couldn't handle a doggie, and they have and are helping me make a dream of mine come true.

Kirsti and TJ are absolutely phenomenal! My once very reactive German Shepherd has come leaps and bounds with their helpful training and tips! He no longer lunges at cars - 90% of the time. (can't always be perfect lol) Our walks are something I look forward to daily now. I no longer dread taking him out and we are so much more in tune with each other. I can't thank them enough for helping me and my boy become better together.
Our two puppies changed drastically after their training! But I learned so much from Kirsti. I learned how to show the puppies that I am in charge in a stern, kind and loving way. The dogs were trained, but I think I was trained to respond to my dogs and lead my dogs in a positive direction. My house is more peaceful and I'm confident with my puppies❤️
Kirsti and Tj are the best! They are so easy to work with and make sure you fully understand the process. With their help my once leash reactive boy is becoming a much calmer dog and I'm becoming a calmer human. Not only has he learned a lot, but I have as well, we now work as a team and our walks are have become less stressful and more enjoyable. They are the best and I highly recommend them!
