Pet care experience
My name is Kimee, and I am the head trainer and owner at Lugaru K9 Training. Years of experience with dogs has taught me that our pets have a language of their own; I pride myself in my ability to listen. Over the years I have gathered experience caring for dogs from tiny teacups to muscular bully breeds by fostering with a local shelters and volunteering with rescues. I have successfully rehabilitated aggressive dogs and other severe behaviors, worked in agility and obedience training, raised puppies, helped manic dogs become calm, and given countless people the opportunity to live their best lives with their pets.

Safety, trust & environment
The property is a four-bedroom house, resident to myself, my two personal dogs, and two pet cats. There is a large fenced yard, a designated dog room, and a smaller secondary structure on property that is in the process of being converted into a working kennel (but is not yet in use). The house, where dogs are housed, has heating and A/C. Additionally, the dog room has its own independent air conditioner and a backup space heater. Each floor has a large air purifier to filter odor, allergens, etc. In case of emergency, there is also a wood stove for heat, and an emergency supply of water and pet food. I am also certified in dog and cat first aid and CPR through the Red Cross. Board-and-train dogs are boarded at my home and receive 24/7 training for your specific goals. Dogs participating in board-and-train must be crate trained (must be able to sleep in a crate at night). Day train dogs are picked up/ dropped off in the morning and returned home in the afternoon. Boarding, or "board-and-play" dogs as well as daycare dogs are dropped off and receive daily walks and structured playtime. For any service, we screen the behavior of all dogs coming in to determine whether or not they may be around other dogs on the premises, and if so to what extent. All dogs coming on-property must be UTD on vaccines for rabies, distemper, and bordatella (kennel cough), and we may ask for proof of this prior to booking. All dogs coming for overnight stays (board-and-train and boarding-only) must be crate trained enough to sleep in a crate at night and in short bursts during the day.

Information Kimee T. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has behavioral issues such as reactivity, fear aggression, anxiety, etc. I am prepared to handle any of them, but it is good to know because each situation requires a different approach!
A typical day
Depending on services booked: dogs will receive training for obedience, behavior modification, state of mind, and more while going on walks, field trips, spending time at the trainer's home, or any combination thereof. The home has a fenced yard, two resident dogs, and two cats.
