Calming K9S

Ann really helped me get my dog to listen to me and, most importantly, helped me to understand her behavior. She was impossible to take for a walk. I learned to be calm around her thus calming her.
I would definitely recommend Ann.

When Ann came to our house to help us with our 7 month old puppy I had little hope that she would be able to help us so quickly. We had only 3 lessons and she worked a miracle, not only training our dog but us as well, my pup was so feeding off of my frustration. She also followed up via email after every class highlighting what we covered. We highly recommend her! Thanks Ann.

I was referred to Ann by one of my co workers and thank god for that! With only 5 sessions she had me a believer again, me and my boyfriend were ready to give up until she came along. Our dog has an extreme case of separation anxiety to the point where we couldn’t contain her anymore. She would break/​chew through all of her metal cages and get out and become very destructive. But of course when your home she is the sweetest most caring cuddly dog. Ann showed her her cage doesn’t have to be a bad thing and gave us all the tools we need to continue the training. From now walking her properly and stopping her from jumping on people when they come over, we could not be happier. She still doesn’t love her cage and thinks of it as a punishment but Ann reassured us it’s not something you can change over night, it’s all about consistency, now thanks to her we have hope again and couldn’t be more thankful. I highly recommend her she truly takes pride in her work and cares a great deal about your loved ones. Thanks again Ann

Ann is a life saver! Our 10 month old puppy suffers from horrible separation anxiety. We tried crate training her, and every time we put the dog in the crate she would howl, excessively drool, and bite on the crate, so we gave up on it and started giving her free reign. We were worried and anxious every time we left the house because we would come home to chewed up door frames and a manic dog. And then we found Ann… We hired Ann to do overnight crate and behavior training for a week. When we got our puppy back, she was miraculously crate trained! I’m not sure what Ann did, but she worked magic. Not only is our puppy less anxious in the crate now, but she is better behaved overall. Moreover, Ann is great on a personal level too. She has made herself extremely available to us, so if we ever have a question she calls or texts me back immediately. And she leaves you extremely detailed notes to refer to after the training session. I would highly recommend Ann to anyone.

I hired Ann Casper of Calming K9s dog training to help me with my sons’ dog that was visiting me for several weeks. I couldn’t afford to commit to an expensive contract which Ann understood. She worked with me on a per lesson basis which I really appreciated. Gracie was very difficult to walk due to severe leash pulling and reacting to other dogs that were walking outside. This made walking her a nightmare! Ann came to my home and in as little as 2 sessions had Gracie walking beautifully on the leash and passing dogs without lunging and barking. Ann works with you and e-​mails personalized training notes after each session. She was always reachable when I had a question or concern and I never felt like I was bothering her. She truly is a remarkable dog trainer that connects with both the dog and the owner in a caring and kind way. I highly recommend Ann for any problems your dog may have.

After going through multiple dog trainers, we finally found Ann!
She has honestly been extremely helpful in getting my very anxiety-​ridden dog back under control. He was terrified of being left alone, and would scream for hours! She got him to get over his intense separation anxiety, feel safe in his crate, stop house-​soiling, and even walk properly on a leash. Ann also continuously follows up on his progress to ensure that everything is going well.
During the first session, she immediately gets to work in helping the dog owners understand what they can do to help their dog, and even gives you training notes after each session so that they can easily be followed and reviewed upon.
I couldn’t recommend a better dog trainer after my experience!

Ann was wonderful! My boyfriend has a four-​year-​old rescue who is such a good girl in almost every aspect except when it comes to going on walks. Cleo pulls at the leash, barks at other dogs and people, and generally makes the whole going for a walk experience very stressful and unenjoyable.
Ann explained to us that Cleo was feeling our apprehension and anxiety during those walks, and her behavior was a direct result of that. Ann then took us all on a walk, showed us some very simple techniques, and explained to us why these techniques work.
My boyfriend has been applying the techniques that Ann showed us and has been so happy because Cleo is a completely different dog. He called me during their morning walk this morning and was so happy and amazed at what a pleasant and enjoyable experience it was.
Thank you so much Ann!

Ann Casper, the owner, is wonderful. She is currently helping me with barking and calming issues with my small maltese. I highly recommend her.
