Kristin is professional, caring, on time, and is really great with my dog, an American Akita that loves her so much!

Business response

Gus is the absolute best! I loved working and hanging out with Gus and taking him on walks. He has the most loving personality once you get to know him. I remeber the first time he asked me for belly rubs, I felt chosen! I love Gus like my own and I’m happy to watch him anytime!

Kristen was my last hope when it came to my dog Sunny learning recall. I was so worried because other trainers/companies had turned my dog away for being to rambunctious and resistant to training so she was the last straw. Not only was she super kind and friendly with both him and I, she also taught me tips and tricks when teaching other things to him. Not only did she accomplish excellent recall, he’s now opening up and becoming just the pup I knew he could be. Wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else. 10/10

I absolutely adored working with you and Sunny! He is such a bright pup! I was particularly impressed with how fast he picked things up. He was so much fun to train! Im so happy we were able to make so much progress with Sunny.

Had a wonderful training session with Kristen and my dog Tori she really helped a lot with recall and basic training for what I needed! I plan to schedule with her for more training definitely the best experience I’ve had in a long time!

5/5

We have a unique situation with our heeler. He is elderly, and was coming from my dad’s home who had just passed. Kristen worked with us and him and we are at a better base line. We have so many more tools and we learned so much. She even helped us with our other two dogs. She’s a rock star and a 10/10 recommend!

Mike has been so much fun to work with! I’m really glad we were able to come up with a game plan that works well for both Mike and your family.<br><br>Gimley and Ryker were such a joy to work with too! I especially loved Gimley’s little snorts—they always made me smile. I’m so glad we were able to work through the challenges you were having with them and find solutions that helped everyone move forward.<br><br>It’s been a pleasure working with all three of them, and I’ve loved getting to know each of their personalities!
