– Melissa M.
We have been working with Kristen for a few months now doing private lessons with our 1-year old Akita. She has been TREMENDOUS! She is super kind, easy to work with, punctual, and flexible. She prioritizes making her schedule work with ours so we can work together. Not only is our pup growing a great relationship and rapport with her, but my husband and I are as well. We could not recommend Kristin enough!
