Amie and Ruby

For the first 3 years of her life, Ruby thought she ruled the world, as most dachshunds do. One trip to Minnesota to visit her cousin Holly the beagle showed me that Ruby desperately needed some discipline. I knew exactly who to go to - Kim. Turns out Ruby thought she was the leader in our tiny little pack (just the 2 of us).

After only 3 or 4 sessions, Ruby and I made another trip to MN and she already showed improvement. Now I can take Ruby anywhere with confidence that I can control the situation. Kim showed me how to be the boss and get Ruby to follow behavioral commands. I've even been able to incorporate these commands into our everyday routine. For example, Ruby loves to go up and down the stairs, which is very bad for dachshund backs. Now I can tell her to stay at the top of the stairs, go down, get what I need, come back up and she's still staying like a good little girl. I'm very happy that Ruby and I went through Kim's training.
