Up A Level K9

May 6th, 2021

We took our adorable, but untrained Golden Teddy to up a levelk9 recently for a 3 week class. We went in every Friday to learn what he learned. We thought wed never remember, but we did and he has done a complete turn around! He comes when we call him-most important in a busy town and his walking is amazing. No pulling. Cant say enough about Karen and Anthony. Totally worth it!! PS he misses school.

Karen is amazing! She was everything I was looking for and more. I got a Border Collie named Rose in August. I did research and watched many videos to train her myself but did not see the results I was looking for. I decided to try a more formal training approach and Im so glad that I found Karen. After 3 weeks, Rose is a new dog, she listens to me, knows how to chill, enjoys training, doesnt chew on stuff, isnt reactive towards my other dog, she comes when called, etc. Because of Karen, Rose is exactly what I had hoped for in a dog. She helps you create a language with your dog that allows you to communicate with them. You can tell that she is not only very passionate about what she does, but is also very educated in dog training. She continues to seek out new information and stay up to date with the best methods for her work. As a new dog owner, I was worried about leaving my dog alone anywhere. Karen offered for me to come see the facility and was very transparent with me about all of my concerns. Her facility is SO CLEAN and smells great. You can tell that she cares deeply for the animals in her care and treats them as if they are her own. Rose loves being there. Karen builds a personal relationship with you and your dog and makes you feel like a priority. She takes calls and texts outside of the training sessions. She also sends you text updates with pictures and videos while your dog is away. Even after Roses training has ended, Karen loves to see updates of her progress and still answers any new questions that come up. With her extensive experience with dogs, beyond training, Karen has helped me find a better food for my dog to be on, she has helped me with an injury that Rose got while at home, connected me with another client for Rose to have doggy friend play dates with and she has become a friend. I can assure you that Karen eases any worries you may have leaving your dog with a stranger. She doesnt stay a stranger for long. Her training and work with Rose and I has changed our relationship and home. I could not say enough good things about my experience with Karen, she is truly a joy to work with!

We would like to thank Karen for saving our household. We have a 10 year old, 60 pound Rottweiler mix rescue and a 1 year old, 30 pound beagle rescue. A year ago, while walking the dogs, the older dog became triggered when our puppy began barking at another dog, and started attacking the smaller dog. This was obviously very traumatic for everyone . For safety reasons, we needed to separate the dogs in the house and withhold walking the older dog in fear of aggressive behavior. Karen met with us and both dogs at her facility to assess the situation. Through multiple training sessions, she was able to work with us and the dogs with training techniques that enabled us to assimilate the dogs safely back into our lives. We are so grateful for her guidance and expertise.
