Kim and her training modules were an answer to my prayers. I recently adopted a 9 year old female Cavachon with separation anxiety. When she arrived at our home she would whine ALL the time. If I closed the door to go to the bathroom, she would whine. If I left anywhere where she could not see me, she would whine. This dog had 0 calm. It was driving me a little crazy and I was finishing the day anxious and feeling inadequate because I did not know how to calm her. I have been binge-watching Kim's training videos and by implementing her positive reinforcement tips (have not gotten to the "correcting unwanted behavior" part yet) it feels like I have a brand new dog. Kim, thank you. You restored peace back to my home! My dog is in a relaxed state 99% of the day. If you are on the fence about this training, do it! You will be amazed at the results.

We worked with Lauren to help with some “new family member” adjustments when our first child was born. Lauren was amazing!! So professional, kind, helpful, and made the training very enjoyable. I would highly recommend for any type of dog training. We will surely use them again for all our dog needs!

We hired Kim because of our 3 month old puppies separation anxiety. We live in CA so all of our sessions were virtual. I was nervous at first, thinking virtual wouldn’t be the same. Well, I was very wrong. This was the best investment we made in our puppy. She no longer has separation anxiety and responded so well to everything Kim taught us. We are so grateful to have found this company across the country! I highly recommend paws and possibilities to anyone! Thank you Kim!!!!

I can't speak highly enough about Kim, Lauren, Lylah, Kara and all of the trainers at Paws and Possibilities. They have a great understanding of how to work with you and your dog to achieve what you are looking to get out of the classes. Anything from manners, behavior modification and basic commands, to high level skills… if you can define it, they will work with you and your dog to achieve your goals. After saying all of that, what I appreciate most about everyone at Paws and Possibilities is that they care. They take the time to get to know and understand your dog, and to me, that is as important as anything in the process.
