About Kelly

Animals have always been Kelly's passion because of the unconditional love and companionship they provide. But without proper training, dogs can become more of a burden than a joy. Everyone knows stories of dogs that were abused or dropped off at shelters because they became too much for their owners to cope with. So Kelly decided to do something about it!

She is certified through two highly reputable agencies in positively-reinforced canine training for self-discipline and behavioral issues. The training Kelly provides will give you a meaningful and joy-filled relationship with your dog. Give her a call today and learn what you can do to make your bond with your dog the best it can be!

Training*

Dog training ranges from basic 'sit, loose leash walking, leave it' commands to developmental behaviors such as barking, jumping, and socializing. Owners can choose from traditional and non-traditional verbal commands, and hand signals. Training in other languages is also an option. All training focuses on the pet's relationship with the owner.

Training sessions are fun! Help will always be available for the rest of your pets life once training is completed!

Sitting

Pet sitting includes cleaning and refilling feeding dishes, playtime for your pet(s), cleaning litter boxes, watering plants, making your home appear lived in while you are away, retrieving mail/packages and bringing in trash cans. Feel secure knowing your home is in good hands!

Walking

Walking is a great opportunity to teach your dog lots of new skills.

Walking is needed with training to ensure that time is also given to exercise. Your dog will think of training as outdoor play!

Pet owners are encouraged to hire all services from one source. Caretaker familiarity increases trust and obedience, and minimizes stress and behavioral failures. Single-source caretaking also saves you time and money. Ask how!

Understanding Certifications

Certifications are what set professional trainers apart. Kelly is certified by TWO international training associations that are known for difficulty in earning qualifications and that are discerning in professional standards.

The Association of Professional Dog Trainers, APDT, is a professional organization of individual trainers who are committed to becoming better through continuous education. The APDT offers individual pet dog trainers a respected and concerted voice in the dog world. APDT continues to promote professional trainers in the veterinary profession and to increase public awareness of dog-friendly training techniques.

Founded in 1884, the AKC is the recognized and trusted expert in breed, health and training information for dogs. AKC actively advocates for responsible dog ownership and is dedicated to advancing dog sports.

What Pet Owners Say

"Very Professional"

“We met Kelly Sunday when we signed up our puppy Clyde for
obedience school. During our training with Kelly, she showed a lot of patience and dedication to teaching her 'students.' Clyde learned a lot and has retained his training. Greg and I were truly impressed with Kelly and her teaching abilities."

~ Heather Newman ~

"Great Service"

"I still call Kelly from time to time as new concerns or questions arise and she's always there to lend a helping hand. Even when you're not with her you never feel alone in your new adventure as a fur mom or dad. There's no one else I would really trust quite like her, she goes the extra mile."

~ Gina Wolters ~

"Kind & Loving"

"Kelly’s training with my Shepherd is a true asset to me, my family and people who visit my home. Kelly is honest, dependable and incredibly hard working. Beyond that she is one of the kindest people I know and her passion for animals and their training is to be commended."

~ Karen Goff ~

"Earns Absolute Trust"

"I've known Kelly for only about a year, but during this time I have trusted her with my most prized possession, JR. JR is my dog, that I brought home last January. It's hard to explain what JR has done for me, but after years of military service, she gives me peace that few other things can. JR is not a dog I would trust with just anyone. Kelly proved to me numerous occasions she was very trustworthy. Kelly came into my home with no one here to take care of JR when I could not be there, and she often took JR to her home. I was never apprehensive of either of these."
