 "Kasey made a huge difference in my family's opinion of how a dog should be treated. I was fighting a losing battle until she came along. Not only did she teach my children and husband how to react to behavior, but she taught us how our dogs react to our behavior... My dogs have never taken to a person so greatly as they did to Kasey. From the minute my dogs saw her they respected her. Kasey does not do what she does for any other reason than she loves and truly cares about the well being of animals and their owners. And she does not teach the dogs for you, she teaches you how to teach yourself. The best way to describe what she did for me and my family is that she was a "God-send. "

"I can't say enough good things about Kasey and her training program.  We have two beautiful dogs - Maya and Jack.  When we called Kasey, we had recently lost a wonderful family pet due to a lack of proper training.  The results we have had with Maya and Jack are amazing!  They are very well-behaved dogs and if they do develop any bad habits, Kasey has equipped us with the knowledge and tools necessary to get them right back on track.  Kasey was always well-prepared and professional.  Her love for animals is obvious.  We have a large family and not a lot of extra time but Kasey was great about including everyone in the training and staying on schedule.  This training is a great investment not only for your four-legged friend but also for your own peace of mind and sanity!"

"When I called Kasey I was in tears and ready to give my new puppy back. Our 10-week-old puppy was nipping and biting us to an extreme. We could not walk across the floor without teeth around our ankles! I've had another puppy and I know that nipping is normal, but not like this! I wanted to kick him- HARD!- But Kasey was able to show me alternate ways to train and deal with him. The one-on-one training was very helpful and I learned alot. My dog is almost two now and I feel he is a good dog. The "Come" command is my favorite because he can be anywhere in our yard and if I yell "Come" he comes a-runnin'! I think that even if you think your dog is good, a well-behaved dog makes you love him all the more. Kasey gives you many choices and methods to handle your dog without hurting them."

 "Thank you so much. We really did learn alot from you. We took Lucy to the groomer and they said she was the best Miniature Schnauzer they have had. I see vast improvement each week!'

 "Our Doberman puppy, Gunner, was nipping/ mouthing...constantly going after our 13-year-old Cocker Spaniel...jumping on us, and just not listening. Kasey taught us why he was doing this and the techniques to stop the bad behavior. We still have a way to go, but we will get there with the great advice and teaching techniques that Kasey taught us. She was awesome!! If she saw something or we said something Gunner was doing that she thought needed to be addressed, she would change her plans for that day's teaching and help us work on that behavior. She emailed right back when I needed help and said I could email anytime. I highly recommend Kasey to show/ help you train your puppy/ dog. We recently added a new Doberman girl and I am using all of the handouts and websites that she provided and recommended to train her. I would not have known how to do it without Kasey."

"What a gift Kasey has been to our family! She's a very rare combination~ well educated, competent, patient, compassionate, and very generous with her time. Because of her, our 6-month-old littermate puppies~ Finnegan and Fiona~ are well on their way! Their "vocabulary" now includes: their names, sit, stay, down, leave it, on the mat (when visitors come to the door), kennel up (to go into their crate), drop it, come, let's go (for loose-leash walking), touch, ring the bell (to go outside), and high five (just for fun!!) And those puppy butts wag non-stop each time we pull out our clickers to practice what we learned. Kasey made '"going to school" fun for our whole family!! We think Kasey is a lovely person and an animal lover ~ perhaps even "part dog" herself, as she definitely speaks their language!

 "When we called Kasey, we knew it was our last hope. We took advice from everyone and nothing seemed to help with our rambunctious little puppy. Goomba was a terrorist to the say the least, doing everything we didn't want him to do. We even considered giving him back. But, as soon as Kasey came, he took such a liking to her . We saw improvement after the first session. Being able to call her when we really needed help was so relieving. We definitely recommend her to anyone dealing with a puppy driving you insane!"

"I just had to let you know how PROUD I am of that little Sasha girl... She is doing sooooooo well with recall and stay even when there are squirrels and other dogs around to intice her.  I have had her off leash outside already and no darting off.  We play catch almost everyday and she brings the ball back and "drops" it right by my side.  She really is a great little dog... THANKS to YOU and YOUR POSITIVE TRAINING.  Now I have to say we are still working on the "MAT" and the door but she is getting better, just have to work on her excitement to see who's at the door.  We have had numerous people at my mom's house over the past few weeks and they are all amazed at to how "calm this Jack Russell" really is...
In part all I can say is Thank u thank u thank u..."

 "After working with Kasey, I can honestly say I've seen improvement with CoCo. Kasey gave us the tools to train CoCo in a positive and effective manner. Kasey even made time to come and do a training session with our kids. It was very helpful and the kids have a better understanding of how to work with CoCo. It's been a pleasure."

"After extensive research, I chose Kasey to train us to train our dogs. I honestly can't say enough tremendous things about her. She is extremely knowledgeable, uses only positive reinforcement (which was my Number One "must" whem looking for a trainer), and is exceptionally generous with her time, She follows through to make sure you understand what to do and how to handle situations that might arise. She is patient, caring, and considerate. She makes sure she covers everything YOU want covered.

 

She has radically helped turn my non-listening, high-energy, spastic Miniature Pinscher into a lovely, attentive, little well-behaved guy. (I never thought I'd see that day!) She has given us the tools and eduction we needed to turn all 3 of our dogs into the well-behaved dogs everyone now enjoys being around. My family and I truly do enjoy our time traingng them, it was undeniably easy to work the routine into our hectic schedule long after Kasey finished her part with us. And best of all, not only has it helped our dogs; it has helped strengthen our bond as a family.

 

Because of Kasey, we have a much more calm and relaxed home atmosphere. Our guests don't feel like they're being trampled at the door and the neighbors aren't being barked at everytime they step out of their houses. Without a doubt, I would (and already have ) HIGHLY recommend Shake, Waggle, and Roll to everyone I know. We certainly feel we got much more than we paid for. We just adore Kasey, and I know you will too."

"Kasey has made walking the dogs more enjoyable. I am not fond of the choker method. My dogs looked forward to seeing her each week. My 6-month-old Dachshund is responding very well. She comes on command and is great on the "Sit" and "Leave it". My Yorkie looks forward to walking and is really taking to people. As I work with them and use Kasey's methods, I know they will continue to improve on their behvior. I highly recommend her."

"Kasey is a joy to work with; my puppy Elvis and I both enjoyed our sessions! Her talents are many, and she has a true understanding of what motivates a dog to learn. She is so upbeat and so very patient. I feel like our six sessions have given me a good framework to shape my Bernese Mountain puppy into a well behaved dog. It's an ongoing project, but rewarding to see your dog progress and such fun to interact with them in such a positive way! Thanks Kasey! And Elvis would like to thank Kasey for the days she brought the chicken and for the plentiful hugs!"

"Kasey is an excellent dog trainer! She is incredibly observant and gave us all the resources we needed. She went above and beyond to accomodate our dog's special diet and problem behaviors. I couldn't ask for more :-)"

"When a new dog joined our family, I wanted to take full opportunity of first impressions. Within a week, we had Kasey meet our 9-month old Norwich Terrier, Forester. He was one scared, homesick dog. I was one self-taught via books owner not sure what to do.

 

Kasey was very professional, a wealth of information and patient as she worked with both of us.

 

An hour is a long time for a puppy and a person to pay attention. But the hour long training (often longer) went quickly. Immediately, Forester loved Kasey. Her lessons were designed so Forester and I could succeed and build confidence week after week.  I felt confortable asking questions/discussing concerns and issues. I never felt overwhelm nor did I feel that Kasey was trying to force me to do things. She filtered her suggestions/answers to meet my needs and Forester’s best interests.

 

Training the month of December was not easy with all the end of year hoopla. But our time with Kasey was a good investment. I would recommend anyone to use her services."

"Kasey did a terrific job of teaching us to commumnicate with and to understand our dog. She taught us simple commands that made life with our new puppy more manageable. By having her come to our home, we received help with specific siutations we were strugging with. She included all five of our children in the training which is something we would never get in a traditional class. We highly recommend Shake, Waggle, and Roll!"
