We found Kim after searching through several trainers and training facilities. We had been struggling to find a trainer whose first “go-to” was not aversives such as prong collers, e-collars, or sprays that make scary noises, and all of the facilities were wildly unaffordable. I do understand these tools have their place, but it was our preference to avoid them with our puppy at least until we tried other options! She’s just a baby and we’d rather encourage her than scare her. Kim was very prompt in responding and was happy to hop on a call with us to go over what we were looking for with our puppy, Lily. During this call we actually learned a lot and were able to start working on a few things before even hiring Kim. We felt really good about the call so we went ahead and scheduled an evaluation for Lily, and during this first evaluation we learned a ton! Within the week we felt like we had tools to address a lot of the struggles that we had been facing. We had been training Lily for 7 months on our own and had just hit a wall. Kim was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to understand Lily and her needs, and find ways to help us meet those needs so that she could be better behaved. We’ve now had 5 total sessions and Lily is a new dog. She is still a work in progress, she likely always will be, but we are SO MUCH happier because of the training we’ve been able to do with her. Lily is becoming the dog we always wanted! We are extremely happy to have found Kim and plan on continuing to work with her to help refine Lilys skills as she grows into a smart confident dog! Attached is a photo of Lily napping with us after a day of working her brain :)

Was very pleased with the trainer I was able to contact. Gave me a lot of information and was very patient. If I need to I will use her again.

Kim was wonderful to work with and is so gentle with dogs. She worked with us to make our dog, Ginger, a much safer dog to be around. Ginger was resource guarding and could get snippy if we tried to get what she had. Within 1 session, Kim taught us how to deal with this problem. We did 3 sessions total but plan on doing more in the spring. Kim is reasonable and has practical solutions to help your dog be her best. You will not find a better value than Eye to Eye Dog Training and believe me, I did my research. Kim is the best!
