I met Kimee when she was a dog walker for our goldendoodle Xena but quickly realized that her skillset went far beyond dog walking. What started out as Kimee training our dog Xena to walk politely on a leash without pulling evolved into Kimee becoming our dog trainer.  Kimee worked with my husband and I on training Xena to follow basic commands as well as working through more challenging behaviors such as jumping on people and barking. Kimee is an incredibly knowledgeable dog trainer who truly understands the psychology behind the training method she is using. We hired her to help train our dog but what I loved most was  that she took the time to teach/ train my husband and I on the methods that she was using, so that as her owners we could become our dog’s own  trainer. In addition to Kimee being professional, knowledgeable, experienced and effective it is clear to me how much she loves our dog. My husband and I love our dog very much and we trust Kimee with Xena because watching Xena and Kimee interact it is clear that Kimee wants nothing more then to make sure our goldendoodle Xena is happy healthy and well-trained. Having a well-trained dog allows us to take Xena places that we couldn’t if Kimee hadn’t helped us train her. I would recommend Kimee to friends, family and anyone who has a dog. I also know that if Xena could write she would also recommend to Kimee!
