Skylar S.
“Skylar worked with us to help train our pups. His calm, gentle approach to the dogs enables him to establish rapport with them. He is patient and starts with the basics - listens to us where we are experiencing problems with the dogs, e.g., in walking well on a leash. He takes us all outside on walks and demonstrates techniques to get the dogs to stop pulling or barking. He then has us try the techniques and gives feedback on how we did - including where we need to improve. With his help our dogs have become much better behaved - and we are better at ensuring they stay that way.”
Jesus R.
“Jesus provided excellent information about the nuances in recognizing my dogs‘ behavior, and role modeled for us how to respond and prevent our dogs‘ challenging reactions during walks. He offered tips on how to train both animals that I have been able to institute immediately. My dogs are showing improvement already. Jesus was patient with us, and recommended small steps first. His assessment was comprehensive and thorough, and his approach was easygoing and helpful.”
Nina C.
“Nina is awesome! Our first session with her was for our dog's leash manners. She's incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient. We were especially impressed by her customized tips that we'd never thought of before – expertly tailored to our dog's needs and lifestyle. Can't wait for the next session!”

Katherine B.
“I met Kate when my puppy, Pippin was just 13 weeks old. I can't tell you how lucky both Pippin and I were! Kate's approach - partnership between person and dog, attentiveness to one another - builds great friendships while also teaching great skills. Pippin has learned all I've asked of him, and with no stress. His whole body wags when he sees "Auntie Kate" every week!”
Teresa H.
“Teresa was amazing with my puppy. From the very beginning she wanted to be informed of what help I needed. When I picked Taco up, she made a lot of suggestions to help me with continue training Taco. I can see why all the dogs love her so much, she is very warm and caring of her dogs. I highly recommend her if you want to leave your puppy. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby.”

Courtney W.
About: What sets my dog training apart from others is my leadership skills, conflict resolution, creativity, and education that has shaped my career for many years. I believe that the key to dog training is only successful when the trainer and owner work together, and I set my owners up for real life success by ensuring my clients have everything they need, including the knowledge and experience during training.
Kirk P.
“Kirk was attentive, had great communication, and was professional. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a good dog trainer. I can see the difference in the walk already and I really needed a change of experience with the doggo. Thanks Kirk!”
