Simplistic Dog Training LLC

We sought out training for our Australian Cattle Dog when she was four months old. Most trainers we contacted used “treat training” which we felt was fine for tricks but not obedience. At the recommendation of our veterinarian, we scheduled a consultation with Paul and Karen. I knew almost immediately that we were in the right place. Over the course of eight weeks, we learned during four sessions how not only to keep our pet safe but also calm by establishing ourselves as her pack leaders on whom she could solely rely. That dependence and practice of the skills taught in each session helped build a strong bond between myself, my husband, and our dog. We practiced sit, down, and heel daily. It felt great to know that these tools taught to us in K9 Korner’s basic obedience classes could calm my pet and keep her safe in stressful situations. She has had the opportunity to make many new friends, both human and canine, of all ages and sizes. We feel confident in our ability to keep her calm and control her reactions in any situation now. Anywhere that advertises itself as “pet friendly,” we visit to welcome the opportunity to continue to perfect our communication with our dog. We continue to schedule “boot camp” sessions as well. We love that our dog gets the benefit of safe socialization with dogs that are also being taught basic obedience and are kept under the skillful supervision of Karen and Paul for a day of fun learning.

I contacted Karen about training for the new rescue puppy I adopted and for our older dog as well. She was very helpful and explained to me step by step what would be accomplished during the training sessions. I have seen a difference in my older dog just after a few days into the training, and our puppy adjusted well also. Paul and Karen are always available for questions or problems I might have during the training process. They are very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone looking for training for their pups

I have had two dogs go through one-on-one training with Paul, and have had one dog that also attended a boot camp at Simplistic Dog Training last month. Shortly after four training sessions with our first dog, we adopted a second adult dog, and Paul and Karen have helped us to assimilate our new dog into our family. From little details like how to hold two leashes on walks to food recommendations, Paul and Karen have been a very valuable resource to our family on many levels. They are kind, honest, thorough, and really encourage clients to reach out with questions during the training process. I appreciate that there is time between sessions for me to go home and work on key actionable items with my dogs before the next session. Then I can report back to Paul on things that work and don't work and then he offers new practical solutions to any issues we are having. I highly recommend Paul and Karen's services for new puppies, older adoptees, or overall bold fur-babies who just may need some tuning up on their obedience.
