For an easy puppy now and an even easier dog later

You want a canine family member you can include in everything and take anywhere.
My job as your Alexandria concierge puppy trainer is to make that happen.

How concierge puppy training works

Here’s how I help you enjoy a calmer, easier puppy

A customized Jump Start session

Our first step is your 90 minute Jump Start session to discuss your training goals and provide some immediate relief from common puppy issues.

I train your puppy for you

Each week of your training plan I hold three one hour training sessions with your puppy. You can watch me work, or go about your usual schedule.

I transfer your pup’s new behavior to you

At the end of each week we meet in your home for a fun one hour transfer session, where your puppy learns to impress you with her new manners.

I set you up for a lifetime of results

We schedule two one hour follow-up sessions to make sure you enjoy the results of my training efforts over the course of your dog’s lifetime.

“We can’t say enough good things about Kim’s dog training although it turns out it was we that needed to be trained! She was able to explain the logic behind certain behaviors and offered solutions that were easy to understand and execute.”

“Our dog Nigel adores her and is having so much fun even though it’s “learning”. I would recommend her to anyone!”
