Quality Canines By Kim

If you are seeking a person to help with your dog, i.e. train or help with bad habits, then you need look no further. Kim is the person you want helping you & your pup enter a beautiful, cohesive, peaceful relationship. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all things canine. Her light but firm touch is exactly what your pup needs. She approaches her work with kindness toward your pet & you. Your dog will love her! The reviews on her web page are true. She is truly a "dog-whisperer". I know my pup Pip will be better as an adult because of Kim's guiding hand with her. Thanks Kim!

We are completely impressed with Kim, her love for dogs, and the extreme knowledge and passion she has. From the moment she walked in the door, she began not only working with our puppy but working with us. Providing the tools we all needed and guidance along the way. She explains everything clearly and has a magic answer to any problem. We would highly recommend Kim and her expertise to anyone looking to have a beautiful relationship with their precious pup!!!

I cannot recommend Kim highly enough! From the moment we started working together, her knowledge, patience, and genuine love for dogs were evident. She is especially excellent at making corrections without using any force or excessive punishment. My dog, Whiskey, was struggling with leash pulling, excessive barking, and reactivity, and by the end of our sessions, we saw incredible progress. Kim tailored the training to mine and Whiskey's specific needs and made the entire process enjoyable for both of us. She explained techniques clearly and provided helpful training plans we could practice at home. It was amazing to see

We adopted Tori in August 2024. She is a 4.5 year old Corgi that was rescued from a puppy mill situation and basically didn't know how to be a dog. When we brought Tori home she was scared of EVERYTHING! Every single noise small or loud, any type of movement, people and dogs. She refused to eat for 3-4 days and hid under our coffee table. She growled at our adult kids when they came home and snapped when someone would try to pet her. We have had other dogs but this little girl had soooo many layers we knew we needed help. I googled dog trainers and by chance found Kim's website and read through all the glowing reviews. The first time we met with her she sat on the floor explaining what she was doing and the psychology of it all in her approach to Tori and within a half hour she had Tori interested enough to come near her and take a treat. We knew at that moment we had found the right person! Kim's passion for dogs is evident the first time you meet her! She listens, explains everything she is doing, why she is doing it, and the psychology behind it. She asks what you want your dog to learn, then tailors the lessons to teach it. I think she taught my husband and I just as much as she taught Tori. We learned how to be good "alphas" and she learned how to be a great dog! Kim's lessons and excursions to parks, Home Depot, walks in downtown Crystal Lake and her "dog parties" have all helped Tori and us to gain the confidence she needed to come out of her shell. In just 3 months' time Tori has learned sit, stay, come, heel, sit for the street, go to your place and walk down our stairs. She loves going for walks (both short and long leash ones) and car rides. Tori is also accepting pets from anyone who wants to come into our home. We cannot thank her enough for all that she has done for Tori and us. I'm thrilled to have the lifetime guarantee that she offers in case we ever need help. Kim's reputation truly lives up to the hype. She is a "dog whisperer" in every sense of the word!
