Hey, I’m Kaci.

I help dog owners and pet parents build meaningful relationships with their dogs by establishing clear boundaries and communication through fear-free training.

My Approach

Collaborative

I believe in the power of collaboration to create an exceptional bond between you and your dog. As an extension of your team, I help you to set a clear vision, goals and expectations. I work closely with you to develop a training plan that not only reflects your unique needs but also fits your life style.

Reinforcement

I take a science based approach in my work utilizing reward based training to ensure the final result aligns with your goals while maintaining your dogs emotional and physical well-being. We’ll work together to refine and fine-tune the techniques that work best for your dog.
