Kim at Eye to Eye Training is an absolute wizard. I brought her two of the most dramatic, chaotic creatures on planet Earth and she somehow turned them into dogs who can function in society. Solo sessions with my pups were basically therapy for all three of us and she never once judged the nonsense they pulled.Gimli did the Basic Skills class and now walks around like hes the valedictorian of dog school. Miss Daisy is in the Caf Dog class learning how to sit politely at a table instead of acting like she owns the entire restaurant. Progress.Kim makes training hilarious, stress free, and weirdly easy. My dogs adore her, I adore her, and honestly if she opened a school for humans Id go too. If youre thinking about training your dog stop thinking and go to Eye to Eye. It will change your life and your dog will stop embarrassing you in public (most of the time).

Kim is incredibly patient and has a natural way with dogs - our two Frenchies have become better socialized and better-mannered THANKS to the training.Kim taught US how to effectively communicate with our dogs and address their behavioral reactions in a POSITIVE way.Our dogs used to be extremely reactive towards other dogs & people, but thanks to Kims expertise, WE can now confidently walk them with less issues.WE highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a professional and compassionate dog trainer- SHE knows her stuff!

Kim has worked with us and our rescue dachshund Finn for nearly three years now, and I can say without a doubt we could not have made it without her. We adopted Finn when he was one years old and he had little to no socialization. She has helped us work through Finn's severe reactivity to people, dogs, and literally anything that moved and helped us to help Finn transform into a happy pup with confidence who we love so dearly. When we first adopted Finn we looked for trainers and met with other people who weren't able to provide the expertise and experience that we needed. When we started working with Kim it was like we could breathe again knowing that someone with so much patience and knowledge would be by our side. Her approach is one grounded in dog behavioral science and the upmost respect for our furry friends; she does not rely on aversives to suppress behavior, rather helping you to learn how to provide your pup with the chance to make better decisions and mold their behavior over time. She has a very deep understanding of dog behavior and we have learned so much in working with her. I would recommend her without any hesitation from obedience training to complex behavioral work.

Thank you Sylvia! It has been such a pleasure watching Finn progress to the friendly, fun-loving boy that he is! From the moment you brought him home, you made a commitment to his training, and your hard work and dedication has paid off!
