Testimonial

I have waited 5 months before posting a review - in part because I wasn't sure the training would last. Well, it has been 6 months since Kristen worked with my 3 girl dogs and they just keep getting better and better. I knew they would behave with her since she is a professional dog trainer, but I was convinced they would not behave with me. I am now able to take my dogs anywhere and even have them off-leash and they respond to my commands.
I would not have thought this was possible. Even friends who have not seen me for some time cannot believe these are the same dogs. I have worked with trainers in the past, but Kristen is the first trainer that has produced results that last. She is nothing less than amazing. I highly recommend her.

Another Success Story

Kristen literally changed OUR lives. My Doberman puppy, Lulu, had an enormous amount of energy and I just could not get her to focus or behave. I've had Dobermans my whole life, but Lulu was like no other. I was unable to even walk her around the block or to have guests over...we were a mess. After spending a large amount of money to send her to another trainer in which Lulu went to boot camp for 10 days. Lulu came home in worst shape from where she started. I was at a loss. I was desperate. I have Kristen a call who came over the very next day. She said that could help. I was very hesitant, but when Lulu and I met her, we just knew that this was different, that Kristen was different. Lulu was not going to "learn" anything until her explosive energy was addressed and that's where we began. Teaching Lulu how to relax. Teaching ME how to relax with Lulu. After "graduating" from Kristen's train while you work program, it totally feels like a miracle. We practice Lulu's ability to calm HERSELF. She can now focus. Our bond is so strong. I really cannot begin to thank Kristen enough. Kristen has a gift. Thank you Guåhan K9! I'd recommend her to anyone!

Another Client...

Kristen is a phenomenal trainer! We went with her "Train While You Work Program" and it has done wonders for us. When we first got our puppy Titan he had a lot of separation anxiety, obedience problems, resource guarding, etc. We seriously thought we had tried everything and were about to give up and re-home him but she saved us from having to do that. We have a two year old at home and he wasn't behaving the way we needed him to behave around a toddler. She is very patient and kind with dogs. She is also very knowledgeable about dogs and behavioral issues. Her focus was on being able to teach our puppy how to learn manners and how to teach us and our puppy on ways to live a more harmonious life. We noticed with week after week Titan was improving. She always encourages questions and never leaves us wondering. Our puppy Titan can now be trusted to behave and play nicely with my two year old daughter which was never something I ever imagined. I now highly recommend her to people who are in need of a dog trainer. Thank you Kristen! Your work has done wonders for our family and we are forever grateful!
