Karen's approach with both the dogs and handlers is fresh and unique. An overall atmosphere of positivity is present at every session. She has understood the particular training needs of my dog and assigned exercises that are exactly right for her training. She is generous with time, inviting interaction at any moment between sessions. I would encourage anyone to become her client. Joel Krott
