Testimonials

Kelly is phenomenal. She truly cares about the dogs she works with and it shows. Her classes are extremely reasonable (price and methods), upbeat and a great way to start the socialization process! She is also happy to provide guidance and suggest personalized methods. We have been going for about 9 months now and will continue to do so!
– Client

We visited Kelly for an assessment of the puppy we adopted. First, she was kind enough to be available over the weekend, which was perfect for our schedule but not something she normally does. Second, she was so calm and actively listened to our concerns before even engaging with our dog. In the short time we were together she taught us a great deal about the behaviors our dog was exhibiting, as well as gave us recommendations on next steps. She is excellent at dog evaluations & assessments while at the same time being sensitive, understanding, and professional. Thank you Kelly!
– Client

Kelly is by far the best trainer that I have ever worked with. I have been working with Kelly for the past 8 months to train my service dog. Kelly has been extremely involved since the beginning. She came with me to evaluate the litter of pups to ensure that I got the best dog for service work. She not only helped to pick the BEST puppy I could have asked for, she continues to support us with our service dog training.
