Matters of the Canine Kind

So glad we found Karen! I love the fact that she can come to your house for private lessons and train your dog in your own environment. The price for a private lesson is worth every penny and in my opinion is very reasonable. She gives you a discount if you buy 10 lessons at a time. She teaches you how to train your dog and tells you why your dog is behaving the way he does and what is triggering certain behavior. We have a Corgi that is very fearful of loud noises and gets upset when we my husband or I leaves the house. He exhibits aggressive behavior because of this fear and Karen has helped us to calm him down by showing us how to refocus his energy.
We originally called Karen because I was expecting our first child and was afraid that our dog would be upset about the addition to our family. Our dog was used to being an «only child» and would be getting way less attention with a new baby in our home. Karen showed us how to prepare to introduce our daughter to our dog. Before she was born we practiced swaddling a teddy bear and pretending it was a baby to train our dog to get used to us holding a baby in our arms. Karen’s methods and the information she gives you is so helpful. She truly is very knowledgeable about dogs and helps you have an even better relationship with your pet. Her help has definitely improved our interactions with our dog that we love so much.
We noticed a huge difference in our dog after just one training session. I highly recommend her.

I never new so much about dogs until I met Karen. It’s really cool that there are other ways of dog training besides the old less successful ways.
It’s interesting because science shows that positive training is more effective than traditional methods of dog training because dogs learn faster with positive techniques.
Karens knowledge of dogs is vast because she understands the canine mental
process behind the their behavior.
Karen is so sweet! My Boxer, Summer, gets so excited every time she comes through the door and we just absolutely adore her.
