Let's Get to Work!

My sessions focus on a variety of training challenges for all ages.

As an Accredited Dog Trainer through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), I am experienced in basic manners such as recall, sit, down, and stationing as well as more advanced work in behavior modification for leash reactivity, inter-dog aggression, and resource guarding. 

Send me an email through the Contact Page for requests and questions.
Include the type of session and a little bit about you and your pet.

A few notes:

  • Before meeting, we will discuss your goals over a complimentary 60 minute phone call.

  • Travel fee waived if your home is within a 20 mile drive radius of the Uptown neighborhood in New Orleans.

  • Travel fee of $0.50 per additional mile may apply if you are further than the radius.

  • Train the Trainer Virtual Session is available! This is a great option if you live outside the Greater New Orleans Area.

Train the Trainer

$100 per session

This is a coaching session for pet owners. After watching me demonstrate each task, you take the leash and learn with your pet. I will be on the side, giving feedback and guidance throughout our time together. After the session, we will discuss behavior goals and questions.

​

This type of session is helpful for loose-leash walking, foundational behaviors, visitors coming to the home, and home-based training challenges.

Train the Pooch

$120 per session

This is a more advanced one on one training session with your dog. I will be training your dog, with or without you directly present, and locations can vary. At the end of our time, we will discuss an overview of the hour and the cues your pet learned during the session.

 

This type of session is helpful for leash reactivity, developing settling skills in public spaces, and building cooperative vet care behaviors.

"Kim takes incredible care of my animals when I am out of town. My dog, Peggy, feels so safe and comfortable with her. As well, Kim gives thorough communication during her services."

"I decided to work with Kim after a friend and fellow dog owner enthusiastically recommended her. The fact that she worked at the New Orleans Zoo impressed my husband and me. Kim definitely has a way with dogs and a good intuitive understanding of them. I especially like that Kim is willing to send you a text message summarizing what she does in her lessons after you worked with her. She is a very hard worker, indeed!"​​

Martha M. / Henry & Emma
New Orleans, 2024

"Are you trying to find the best trainer for your pet? Look no further!

Kim and I worked with our two snoodles, Henry and Emma for five months earlier this year. Both dogs are lovable and the focus of our retired life. That being said, one is obsessive (food and greeting people) and the other is reactive (other dogs and surprises!). We needed help with greetings and walks.

I said "we" because Kim knows we humans need the training to train our dogs! With her amazing experience, she knows how to break training down to manageable steps, how to reinforce us and our pets to move toward the desired behavior. She followed up each lesson with a written recap of our session and weekly goals, and was availabe to answer the odd question. Communication is key."​​

"Valka and I met Kim working through R+ Dog. She has been a wonderful colleague with valuable insight into the science of animal training.
Valka (reactive husky/aussie) is always excited to train with Kim at any opportunity! I really appreciate her understanding of each unique animal and human team. She always has such great suggestions for making the most out of the training process. I know she'll work alongside you and your pup to help find ways to set you both up for success!"
