Testimonials

 

I have a 6 year old Australian Cattle Dog who began exhibiting aggressive behavior and biting me.  After the first meeting Kelly gave me a detailed written assessment and provided us with a clear plan of action. She demonstrated simple positive ways to get Banka to want to behave well.  She supplied easy interventions for our day-to-day challenges. Kelly also left us with helpful suggestions (books and websites for further ideas) for keeping Banka mentally and physically stimulated. I would highly recommend Spring Training to anyone with a dog.

... When I return home now, Oscar is responding well to “back-up” and is sitting down  — away from the door.         Remarkable!  It's a pleasure now to enter the house and not be leapt on repeatedly, chewed at, and to have to worry neurotically about escapes out the door.  
Thank you!

I first met Kelly through volunteering with several dog rescues, and then contacted her several years later to help with a dog I had adopted through one of the rescues. She came to our home and gave some great recommendations and step-by-step training guidelines for getting my dog to obey some basic commands and to help gain or regain her focus when she gets distracted (by other dogs, etc). Kelly quite obviously has a deep love of animals and uses a very compassionate approach to training them. She has the patience to work with even the most stubborn or distracted dogs, and you're able to see results very quickly. I highly recommend Kelly's services, especially when working with rescue dogs who can sometimes require a little extra TLC
and attention

Since we’re first-time dog owners, we decided to go ahead and get the Beginner’s Good Manners Package from Spring Training to help us train our rescue dog, Sophie.  Kelly was fantastic and tailored the program to fit our needs.  She took great care to address all our concerns -- from basic obedience, to grooming, to appropriate social behavior -- and we are thrilled with all of Sophie’s progress.  Our investment was worth every penny and we highly recommend Spring Training to anyone who wants a well-behaved dog.

Mattie is my first puppy and Kelly has been instrumental in helping me through all of the new challenges I have faced!  She has helped me immensely through early training and has helped me reign in and channel the crazy puppy behavior.  I continue to work with Kelly and have had a great time teaching Mattie new things and establishing good boundaries!  Mattie loves her time with Kelly.

Kelly Spring cared for our dog for several years. She's professional, reliable -- and most importantly -- she took great care of Newton, who has some health issues.  Kelly always goes above and beyond our expectations.  We highly recommend her services and look forward to having her train our next dog
