City Sit Stay

Kimberly is so great to work with. You can tell she truly loves dogs and she will work with you to find a schedule and training program that make sense for your individual situation. I really appreciate her flexibility, positive attitude, and patience. Extra points for helping me figure out within minutes of walking through the door that my dog’s licking was due to food allergies! If you are looking for private dog training in the city, Kimberly has my highest recommendation!

OMG I would be in such trouble if it were for Kimberly. She has helped me with not only one but two dogs. Little did we know the rules were different for each dog. Her patience with us and our puppies led us to have 2 wonderful puppies who are very eel trained!
Thanks so much kim!!!

Kimberly has been very personable since the first time I called her. We spent a while on the phone discussing what sort of help I needed with my new puppy and I could tell she’d be a great solution. I’ve been trying to housebreak him and she’s made so many recommendations to get my 4 month Morkie off to a good start. I was amazed at how she handled him and got his attention! She’s easy to reach when I need advice/​answers in between appointments which is great, and flexible with scheduling. Also very helpful in other questions I had, such as vet/​groomer recommendations etc. I love her approach of positive reinforcement. I’m excited to continue with her and see all the progress!

Kimberly Freeman is a superb puppy/​dog trainer whom I highly recommend. She is knowledgeable, friendly, patient, caring, and she puts her heart is in all that she does, especially when she is working with dogs — and it shows. And equally important. she cares about, and works a great deal with, you.
What I love about Kimberly’s style is that she doesn’t just apply text book theories to her training and work. She considers the puppy/caregivers’/ lifestyle (ie, work/​sleep hours, etc.,) in devising a realistic approach and plan that will best work for your family and pup.
We worked with Kimberly in our home, and we also used her fabulous board and train service, from which my puppy (and therefore I) GREATLY benefitted.
My puppy suffers from severe separation anxiety and used to have massive meltdowns when I would walk just 3 feet away from her, or when left alone in her crate. After spending a week with Kimberly, there was a MAJOR change and improvement in my puppy’s separation anxiety! During the board and stay, Kimberly sent me pictures and always made herself available to me by phone or text.
Kimberly is THE go-​to trainer for your puppy/​dog and you can feel 100% comfortable leaving your «baby» for boarding and/​or training. I trust Kimberly, her work, and advice. I can’t say enough positive things about Kimberly, her training, and our wonderful experience working with her.

What a wonderful experience! I have 2 small dogs and told myself I would never ever board them, but the time came when I didn’t have a choice and had to find somewhere for them to stay for a few days. I did my research and decided City Sit Stay was a good match since they have such a good reputation and found that have very professional, caring and well-​trained staff. I chose the «board and train» option because my one dog had potty training issues, and the other one is a barker.
I don’t know what they did to them, but they are MORE well-​behaved now after I picked them up, than they ever have been! My terrier is much less yappy and my bichon hasn’t had an accident inside since he’s been boarded! It’s amazing what a few days of socializing and proper leadership can do for 2 spoiled pups like mine! I couldn’t be happier and even more so knowing that I can leave my dogs somewhere that will love and care for them and I don’t have to constantly worry if they’re ok.

Kimberly was an absolute Godsend. We moved from the country in Santa Fe to the big city and one of our dogs had a meltdown over all the street noise, trucks, people, etc. and refused to go outside. Thanks to Kimberly she is doing amazing and we were able to help her with her fears and get both dogs on track with being better behaved «city dogs». We still have a little ways to go (stubborn terriers) but they both have turned into such great pets and they are enjoying their new life here. Kimberly has such a great positive attitude, great trainging techniques and is a pleasure to be around. We look forward to continuing to work with her.

Kimberly Freeman is a world renowned dog trainer with years of experience and a reputation for results. It only took her minutes to assess that my pit bull clearly was the pack leader and not us as we had previously thought. If you think that you can just read Cesar’s book or watch «It’s me or the Dog» I can tell you that it’s not that easy. Having followed that advice for years, we thought we were doing well only to find that opps, we were still making mistakes. And that’s the best part about Kim, she doesn’t train dogs, she trains owners.
Anybody can train a dog to sit or stay (no pun intended) when they are in class, but when they come back home all those teachings can go out the window with the wrong person. I’ve witnessed how my dog behaves differently with different people in her level of obedience. And that’s where Kim really shines, she cuts right through the idea that training is just about the dog and focuses on what the human can do to make their dog their ideal best friend. And those results last a lifetime.
Kim’s professionalism and dedication to animals is unmatched, and City Sit Stay is definitely the go to place for a dog trainer that you’ll be pleased with.

City Sit Stay is the only place my girl Ruby wants to go to socialize with her fellow ‘doggy’ friends. Kimberly has trained Ruby since she was 12 weeks old and Ruby is all the better for it. We love Kimberly and City Sit Stay. We highly recommend it. Please check it out. You won’t be sorry and your little one will thank you for it with lots of licks and woofs!
