Kirsten helped me with my pups immensely. She was knowledgeable about everything - mobility, health, behavior, training, you name it. Most importantly, she was so kind with me and helped ease my anxiety with in turn helped my boys. I could not recommend her enough.
Kirsten has worked with us several times over the last year with our 22 month Golden. She has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Kirsten is very knowledgeable, positive and helpful. Our pup has a couple of small behavioral issues and Kirsten immediately helped us to work successfully on handling them and given us more confidence with her training. She's also very good her clients - both dogs and their owners. She sends an email summary with tips and techniques after each session - much appreciated. Our dog loves her and we recommend Kirsten very highly.
