Kelly helped me work with my elderly rescue hound and his fear of thunder. She had so many great ideas and was patient and compassionate with him. She helped me work on my behaviors as a dog mom as well - and that was really important. She loves all animals and is talented at what she does and is all around a wonderful human.

Kelly is the best! My dog Dio is a rescue with a high trauma background.

Kelly is the best! My dog Dio is a rescue with a high trauma background. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting too much since his trauma was so severe but after the first session, there were already so many changes in his behavior and confidence. Plus, working with Kelly gave me so much confidence in being the best dog owner I can. We've had a handful of sessions now and with every session I see improvement. I'm so grateful to Kelly and cannot recommend her enough.
Our Hazel loves Miss Kelly! She is so kind and positive, and we have seen leaps and bounds in Hazel’s response to commands and in her anxiety level on walks and towards the TV. We still have some work to do, but I know that if we need her again, Kelly will be there!
Kelly was fantastic with our labradoodle, Luna! We initially reached out because Luna was a counter surfer and had gotten into many foods that she shouldn’t have.

Kelly was fantastic with our labradoodle, Luna! We initially reached out because Luna was a counter surfer and had gotten into many foods that she shouldn’t have. During our first meeting I was super impressed with how quickly Luna responded to Miss Kelly! We had four sessions with her and have now received several compliments from others about how well behaved she is and that makes us so happy! Luna will miss her time with Kelly, but we’re so grateful for everything she did for us! Thank you!
Kelly, I can't thank you enough. I have an English Mastiff, two Huskies, and two cats. Kelly was amazing with all of them. You can see her love and passion for animals the moment you meet her.

Kelly, I can't thank you enough. I have an English Mastiff, two Huskies, and two cats. Kelly was amazing with all of them. You can see her love and passion for animals the moment you meet her. She is amazing at reading a room the second she walks in it and is very personable. One of our huskies has bad male anxiety and my boyfriend couldn't even look at him without him running away. This past session, we not only had the husky coming up willingly to him, but my boyfriend actually got to pet him on the head. I cried out of relief because just seeing that it was actually possible when thinking it never was going to happen... I can not believe the progress that we have had with our dogs and I encourage you, if you are thinking about using Kelly, to do so. Every session we have had with her we have learned something new and have been shocked at what she can get our puppies to do. We love you Kelly and thank you so much for everything you've done. We look forward to scheduling more sessions to see what else we can bond about with our pups!!
