Happy Tailz

Kelly is such a patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring trainer. From our very first session, it was clear that she truly loves what she does and has a natural ability to connect with dogs of all personalities. My Great Pyrenees, Luna, is a large and very strong-willed dog, and we had struggled in traditional group classes with multiple dogs. However, in Kelly’s one-on-one sessions, Luna absolutely thrived. Over the course of six training sessions, Kelly transformed what used to be stressful walks into enjoyable ones. Before working with her, Luna wouldn’t even make it down our driveway on a leash without resisting or sitting down. Now, thanks to Kelly’s guidance and consistency, we’re going on peaceful two-mile walks with only minor corrections. Kelly’s calm presence, positive reinforcement techniques, and (of course) her delicious treats made Luna completely adore her—and I can’t blame her! Kelly not only helped Luna gain confidence and focus but also helped me learn how to communicate more effectively with her. I feel much more confident as a dog owner and leader, and Luna is happier and more responsive because of it. I’m so grateful for Kelly’s help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced trainer who truly understands dogs and cares deeply about their progress. Thank you, Kelly, for making such a difference in both our lives.

Kelly is such a calm, fun, enthusiastic, and effective teacher. Right off the bat, it was very clear she loves what she does and genuinely connects with the animals. She has helped my four year old mini dachshund, Piper, so much with her anxiety and helped me learn how to be the strong leader and support Piper needs. We have learned skills together that we incorporate into daily life - sit, down, stay, come, leave it, and heel. Not to mention she introduced us to agility to help build Piper’s confidence. I highly recommend Kelly. Piper and I are now going on calm walks that I never imagined possible a few months ago. Thank you so much Kelly for changing our lives for the better.
