Kim loves dogs and knows them extremely well. She sees things others don't, so that you can work on those behaviors before they become issues. It takes work, but if you follow her lead, you will have a wonderful companion for many years to come.

Kim has worked professionally with animals for well over three decades, and even in her spare time, she has chosen to involve herself in hobbies that revolve around dogs. In addition to training, her animal skills and work experience resume include professional dog grooming, dog and cat anesthesia-free teeth cleaning, tattooing for pet identification, and recreational and swim therapy work at a canine physical rehabilitation center. In her spare time, she’s trained, competed, and won awards with multiple dogs in a variety of dog sports. This naturally led to being asked to coach others, and after a while she segued from competition training to companion animal training and behavior modification. It didn’t take long for this to become a full-time venture. After having worked as a professional dog trainer for more than a decade, in 2010 Kim successfully completed the process to become certified as a CPDT-KA, through the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers. Because she believes that you should never stop learning, Kim pursues continuing education whenever possible. She attends lectures, seminars, and conferences, as well as reading numerous texts and periodicals, in order to stay current with the most up to date science and information about animal behavior. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7fe1a5737abc0444d8c801/1620879763130-437Y4BHU4K99N0ZFWMA8/Me+n+flirt.jpeg About - “It’s been said, ‘Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.’ Well I do love my job, although I cannot in all honestly say that it’s never felt like work. But I do feel incredibly lucky to be instrumental in creating a deeper understanding, and more harmonious relationship between pets and their people. When I can help people to better communicate with their canine companions, and when I can help dogs to better understand and live successfully with their human best friends, I know I’m doing exactly what I was always meant to do. I can’t think of a more fulfilling way to spend my time.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7fe1a5737abc0444d8c801/1591842425543-N0P0350CH5VMOBN8XV8P/donna+and+surf+2.jpg About - “I came to Kim in an act of desperation. The relationship with my two-year old dog was difficult at best, and I didn’t know what to do. The most disturbing behavior was my dog’s lashing out at other dogs without provocation. The past three months have been revelatory. Kim has shown me how we got to where we are. I stress “we” because Kim has helped me to see how my decisions/indecision during training left my dog without support. In these past few months Kim has shown me how to work through layers of behavior, but most importantly how to become a trustworthy leader, and that is giving my dog the confidence to make successful decisions. Together we are becoming a team.! Kim’s ability to recognize the dynamics of a relationship and provide feedback followed by tools is remarkable. I have learned as much about myself as I have about my dog. Just terrific!” —Donna Williams & Surf https://www.yourk9educator.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2022-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7fe1a5737abc0444d8c801/1586591242244-WFZ4FM7SOJ9CSD42HZ6Y/staffies.jpg Contact us Beginning, intermediate, or advanced training for dogs of all ages. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7fe1a5737abc0444d8c801/1586026686984-NIBKO8CKFTJO6OVRBXDU/image-asset.jpeg Contact us Small well trained dog running to owner. https://www.yourk9educator.com/privacypolicy daily 0.75 2020-04-11 https://www.yourk9educator.com/training-methods daily 0.75 2022-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7fe1a5737abc0444d8c801/1590946282333-ZSS6NED217XYWHMT5DKS/willow+%282%29.jpg Training Methods - Our Training Philosophy & Methods The K9 Educator uses a customized strategy of environmental changes, coupled with proven effective positive reinforcement techniques, to change unwanted problem behavior, and achieve desired results.
