Kristen is the best dog trainer! She helped my German Shepard pup, Grim, with his manners, stop nipping at hands and to wait patiently at doors. I wouldn’t bring my babies anywhere else!

Honestly sought out a trainer because I found a dog, she was scared, she had been abused and abandoned and I was at a loss. Kristen has helped turn that scared dog into a confident well behaved baby. She loves to play and run and we’re able to do so much more with her now than when we first found our baby. She’s happy, she’s confident in herself and her people. We have learned so much and been able to have someone who’s a professional guide us in learning our dog and helping our dog to learn us. With Kristen’s guidance, she’s learned to not cross the street without us saying it’s ok, she’s learned to not chase after squirrels or cats or other dogs, she knows how to sit, lay, stay, knows where her bed is, working on some other stuff like potty bells and how to be friendly and play with other dogs. Without Kristen our dog wouldn’t have had as great of a life as she does now. Kristen has taught us everything! From how to reward and train our dog, how to correct behaviors, what toys to buy, and even hooked us up with a discount code for toys that are now a MUST have for every dog I know. It seems scary to pay for a dog trainer because your not sure how it will go, you don’t have to worry about that here. If she could help my family and my dog she can help you and yours. It’s well worth every penny and then some.
