Kirsten, Shana and Wendy are amazing trainers who have helped me with two rescue Shelties, including my current boy, Toby. He has become a much more confident and happy dog thanks to their guidance and encouragement. He loves going to classes (Agility, Rally, Trick, Manners and more), and so do I. They make it fun for dogs and humans alike.

Kristin, Wendy, and Shauna have been brilliant from early puppy classes through to my now four-year-old crazy Daisy Aussie. Both my Aussie loves boarding and K-9 camp! These girls know their stuff. They know how to train your dog and how to train you to understand your pet, lol. Whatever issues you have, they will help you work through them with kindness and professionalism. I always felt welcomed. Would not trust anybody else with the training or boarding of any of my pets forevermore. They have me for life now. 🤗
Kirsten and Shana have always made our dog Romeo feel welcome, safe, and loved. He absolutely loves going to K-9 Camp, and we’re thrilled about the new location and the opportunity to continue his training there. We’re so grateful for the care, dedication, and positive environment they provide!
Kirsten, Wendy, Shana and Trinity have been amazing to work with! They have helped so much in not only building mine and my dog’s confidence through training and getting ready to trial, but also helped us build a better bond together. Their grooming is also top notch! I’m so grateful to be training with them for the last 2 years and look forward to continuing!
