Testimonials
Miss Kim is awesome! I highly recommend! I am a long term client and both of my rescues attend weekly classes. They love it! Humans and dogs alike, have fun while learning. Each weeks class is a little different with a variety of topics such as obedience, rally, agility, cute tricks, and more. It’s all positive rewards training, so not only do you and your dog learn and have fun, but it also strengthens your bond and trust in one another. It’s also a great confidence booster for your pup! Miss Kim is also happy to give tips/advice when needed if you have a specific behavioral issue that arises. As an added bonus, Miss Kim, along with her associates, support and host events such as dog behavior seminars and benefits to raise supplies/funds for a local rescue!

Worked veritable miracles with my reactive rescue pup! Gentle guidance and directives, as well as involvement in classes with other dogs – all in controlled situations, and made it fun!!! Can’t recommend Kim and Wiggle Branch more highly!!
– Client
Kim provides a comprehensive training program for all dogs. Her classes are very small, dogs are matched based on skill level and temperament. She is able to meet each dog at its particular level and help the owner move the dog along to be successful. Her innovative style combines activities that are fun for both the owner and the dog. Along the way she throws in the educational bits that explain the hows and whys of the activities. At the end of the hour you and your dog leave feeling successful and ready to tackle the new skills.
I am a retired dog trainer, my dogs wouldn’t let me go anywhere else.
