Kara has been working with our puppy Newt. She has made wonderful progress and we are thrilled to do more training with her in the future! She really knows her stuff!
This is a great experience, I've learned so much and my dog is so much happier!!
Kara did an amazing job helping us train our miniature schnauzer. Minnie just completed the puppy class learning to sit, lay down, walk by our side, touch, and stay. Kara also gave us potty training tips that were successful. Kara really understands dogs and how to train them and with positivity and respect.
I have a now 6mo. Pomchi Gunner. He was 4mo when I took him to Kara. The 1st time I handed him to her he screamed as if he was hurt! He had to be muzzled at the vet to get his nails clipped!

I have a now 6mo. Pomchi Gunner. He was 4mo when I took him to Kara. The 1st time I handed him to her he screamed as if he was hurt! He had to be muzzled at the vet to get his nails clipped! He ran every chance he got. And stold everything. She taught him and I how to socialize. And how to build his confidence. And little tips I will use our whole lives. She helped get him trained to go outside. In just a couple weeks.Gun wanted to please her. Him and I are going back for the next level of reading real soon. Thanks Kara for working with us!
