Crimson Hound, based in La Crosse, Wisconsin, offers in-home consultations throughout the Coulee Region and virtual sessions for clients anywhere. Kerrie Hoar specializes in working with dogs exhibiting reactive, aggressive, and fearful behaviors. As a Family Dog Mediator®, she takes a different approach to dog training, focusing on building relationships based on trust and understanding. FDMs analyze how L.E.G.S.® come together to create the dog in front of us, using realistic goal setting, management protocols, and, when necessary, teaching new behaviors to meet both client goals and the dog’s needs. Kerrie’s training philosophy is grounded in rewards-based methods and LIMA standards, avoiding force, coercion, and punishment.
