Nutmeg

Our dog Nutmeg is a sweet, but very shy, Golden mix. We brought her to training with Kim so that she would learn some basic commands and so that we could learn to work around her timidness. After six weeks, we have seen positive changes in her. Training has really given her a lot more confidence; now she sits and lies down quickly (even without treats!) and she seems very eager to please. It seems that she now accepts us as her "alpha dogs" and she is a lot more willing to allow us to handle situations. Up until her training she was terrified when anyone came over to the house, and she would bark and hide behind us. Now, on Kim's advice, when someone new comes over we leash her and have the guest give her treats. After a few minutes of this Nutmeg is still wary, but willing to accept treats and calm down. This has helped us a great deal because now we can entertain without worrying too much about our dog.

Kim is a trainer who works using kindness, patience, and humor to to teach her pupils (human as well as canine). She understands the different needs of each dog and helps the owners to work on specific issues. We recommend Kim as an experienced and understanding trainer who will work with you to solve problems.
