Client Testimonials

"Kirsten is an incredibly wise, insightful and loving trainer. She was able to explain trouble spots from my dog’s point of view, so that I understood how to shape her behavior with rewards and games that resulted in win-win change for both of us!"
-Wendy F.
"She’s really good at understanding a dog’s behavior and who they are, and working with that."
-Kira F. (13)

"I got Duck when he was a puppy, but I had no idea what I was doing. Kirsten helped me make a training schedule and set goals for us. I am so grateful because without her I'm sure he still wouldn't know his name! She is amazing!"
-Lara H.

"With her positive training focus and clear directions, Kirsten has helped my children connect with our family dog and teach him some polite manners and tricks. We all enjoy working with him so much more now."
