Customer Reviews
“We attended Basic Manners 1 with Kim and really enjoyed it. It was a great experience for my rescue to learn how to behave and understand basic commands (down, wait, stay, leave it). Kim made an effort to give personalized attention to each dog and answered questions throughout. As a first time dog owner, this class helped me by creating a better relationship with my dog and we noticed an immediate difference in Riley’s behavior too. We plan to sign up for Basic Manners 2 to continue working with K9 Kims Dog Training.”
