Mia was exactly what Apollo needed! She addressed all of our concerns, worked with us to design ideal training plans, and was very flexible when schedules changed at the last minute. Now, my boy is happier, more confident, and more self-assured when someone knocks on the door. He's doing so great, and it's all thanks to Mia! We have plans to get a second dog in the future. If Buttons the golden retriever with two brain cells needs some training, I know exactly who'd I'd want on my team!

Mia did an amazing job training our German Shepherd, especially with walking. The improvement has been great, and he's becoming more confident every day. She was clear and patient with her instructions, and she gave us the knowledge and tools we needed to continue reinforcing the training after our sessions ended. We really appreciated that she focused on helping us succeed long-term, not just during the training itself. Mia was kind, professional, and genuinely cared about our dog's progress. She worked with us to create a plan that was specifically tailored to our dog. We couldn't be happier with the results, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring dog trainer.

Our pup Luna is 2-weeks post-board-and-train with KT, and for the past 3 days we've said each evening, "Wow, Luna had a really great day!" KT helped Luna and us as owners reset a lot of habits that had built up and kept escalating in terms of Luna's people and dog reactivity. We'd been trying positive-only training, but felt like Luna's reactivity was on a downward projection over time. While a 3 week board-and-train won't magically fix everything for good, it ended up being the best way to get us back on a good foot (many steps forward) and provide Luna with really consistent patterns and training in a hyper focused way we weren't knowledgeable enough nor had enough time to commit. KT was one of the few people in 4 months that on first meeting, Luna didn't immediately react to and mostly ignored besides a foot sniff. This gave us so much reassurance that Luna isn't unable to be around other people (she was more social when we first adopted her), and put us at ease that she could actually live with KT for 3 weeks. We'll be continuing some one-off training mainly to keep training us, the humans, as we try to solidify Luna's new habits and confidence over the next 3 months, and then hope to continue working with KT and Traction on some sports and brain activities for Luna! She's a sporty girl, and we're new to that, but were encouraged by both KT and Traction's head trainer Mara that Luna can be both neutral to people + dogs and a fun girl with a lot of opportunities to continue enriching her for years to come! We can't thank y'all enough for helping us and our Miss Luna Lemons 😊
