Kjersti is amazing! I contacted her for two main problems: I have three excitable labs that jump on people when they come in to the house and don't calm down while people are here and the second problem is the male lab that I walk with constantly pulls on the leash so I walk off leash with him frequently but when he gets near water he doesn't listen at all and took off swimming down a river. Kjersti did a home visit and she walked into the house without saying a word or addressing the dogs poor behavior but within what seemed like seconds they were all laying on the floor relaxing. I was shocked. She showed me tips on body blocking and the importance of not addressing them until they are calm and laying down. Next, we discussed the walking issue and she introduced the e-collar, she determined the proper setting for my dog and we went for a walk with no leash! I was completely amazed. He was perfect, calmer, and more responsive. He heeled when told but then I could give him a command to release him to 'go play', we crossed a busy road, went into a park and he was a dream. It was hands down the best and most productive hour of training that I have ever done with my dogs. I have continued to walk with my male lab on and off leash and he has been such a dream. It is actually a relaxing and a wonderful experience to walk with him now, he doesn't pull on the leash at all and I barely have to use the stimulation on the e-collar. He even resisted going into some water with the help of some e-collar stimulation which he would not have been able to resist without her guidance on how to address those situations. I highly recommend contacting her if you are having issues with your dog.
