Training Philosophy
Kerri follows the guidelines of “LIMA”, least intrusive, minimally aversive training methods. She will not use, body manipulation, yelling, stern corrections, prong collars, shock collars, vibration collars, bark collars, etc. She focuses on supporting the dog in front of her, allowing them to make choices, and reframing an internal dialogue of, “he never listens to me,” to “how can I support him in a way that he understands?” Her approach is ethical and kind, going at the pace set forth by your dog.

Customer Reviews
“Kerri was amazing! My dog stayed with her for a few days and she sent me lots of updates of Beans going on adventures and hanging out with her adorable dogs. At first Beans was pretty anxious about being left, but Kerri built her confidence up and by the time I came back to get her, she was her usual goofy, happy self and completely relaxed. I would definitely recommend her to care for my friends’ dogs.
