CommandsProgram details
I like to start with 21 commands and will add on more as we go through the training. We will cover different obedience, behavioral, social, domestication, and safety commands. All command words can be changed and adjusted for each dog. Your dog will learn different commands for each environment he is in. He will need to know what is expected of him at all times, so there isn’t any miscommunication. He will have different and additional commands at the park, veterinarian, riding in the car, Petco, Petsmart, when company comes to the door, greeting a strange dog, etc. We will take it one command at a time until your dog understands what you want him to do in various situations and locations.

Dog PartiesProgram details
Dog Parties are an amazing way for me to socialize your dog as well as keep in touch with you during, and after our initial training. The dog parties help me teach the dogs how to play nicely with each other as well as with the adults and kids that are there. I only allow dogs I have trained to attend the dog parties. This way we can ensure that all the dogs attending will listen and behave with one another. Most people keep in touch with me through the dog parties. This way you can ask questions, keep your dog socialized throughout his life, not to mention give him a workout playing with all the pups.

Training ProcessProgram details
We will start by scheduling two times a week for me to meet with you at your home or other place of choice to begin training. We begin with three weeks for on-leash training and six weeks for on and off leash training. The first lesson will last 2 hours, some longer depending on the severity of the problems. The lessons thereafter will last approximately an hour. Each time I come out I will begin teaching your dog the new commands as well as the hand signals. You are watching and listening during this time so that you understand the training methods. Once I see that he/she is catching on I will begin working with you (with your dog) to make sure he/she will listen to you. I will continue to help until you feel comfortable with the new commands. Each week you and your dog will learn more commands. We will cover the obedience commands with our voice and hand signals, as well as without our voice.

Me and my family are so greatful for kim. We rescued a golden doodle with a big attitude. Before we met Kim the family was deciding if we had to give him back. Within a month of training we noticed our dog, Stanley, less stressed and respecting the family. The family was completely comfortable. By the end of training Stanley was the best behaved and loving dog we ever had. Training with Kim opened up so much opportunities for the family. We're excited to take Stanley hiking, shopping and out for coffee! We highly recommend Kim! Wish we knew about her sooner!

They say dog training is for the human in the relationship...especially true in this sense. Not only was Kim the best trainer we've ever had (and there have been many throughout the years.) But spend 5 minutes with her and you'll quickly learn she's amazingly knowledgeable. She makes you and your dog feel safe and comfortable. Progress was seen after the very first lesson and she gave us the skills to continue his training long into the future. If you have a dog that needs help, stop reading this and reach out to Kim immediately. You will not regret it.

I have owned dogs my whole life and never had a trainer. My son told me he had this terrific girl train his labradoodle and he spoke of her as “the Dog Whisperer.” We now have a Corgi. Enough said. We hired Kim and she definitely is a dog whisperer. She trains with kindness and love and it works! She’s a delight to work with and loved by our dog. We now have a good dog that listens and minds and we are the head of the pack and not her. She’s now having Kim withdrawals however and is watching the door for her. We owe Kim more than we paid for the dog she gave us in return.

Kim has been such a godsend to us! It had been so long since either one of us had a puppy that we forgot how much work we were getting into. She patiently walked our little goldendoodle and his parents along each step of the way lovingly correcting and offering sage insights and wisdom. She really is the quintessential dog whisperer and she forever has our gratitude and heartfelt appreciation.

Kim was the perfect match for our energetic, young Australian Shepard. She mixed together at-home and in-the-field training at our convenience, and really helped us understand the psychology of training our dog, not just rote memorization of commands and motions. Cocoa is a different dog after our sessions, and I highly recommend Kim's training to anyone who'd like to have a more obedient and fun dog.
