Lisa & Ollie
I highly recommend Kim if you are looking for help with separation anxiety for your dog! I was given her name when I was looking for a CSAT after reading about the program. I had realised early on that my puppy, Ollie, wasn’t coping at all if I attempted to leave him alone, and I wasn’t having much success getting on top of it by myself.
Kim’s type of training really appealed to me as it’s all about helping the dog to feel safe alone and is very much tailored to each individual situation.
Right from the start Kim went out of her way to really understand our situation and set up the program tailored to both Ollie, myself and my family, and the setup of our home. When we first started the training, I couldn’t even step out of the door without Ollie barking or trying to get to me.
I have spent over 4 months doing this training and with Kim’s support have now reached the point where Ollie has comfortably done a few ‘alone time missions’ that were over 2 hours! This was unthinkable when we first started.
It’s clear that Kim loves dogs and that their welfare is extremely important to her, which I love. As a first-time dog owner, she also gave me plenty of invaluable advice when I was struggling in other areas with Ollie!
I now feel comfortable that I have learnt so much with Kim that I can continue training Ollie independently, knowing that Kim is there if I need some help down the track! I know we couldn’t have come this far without her support and knowledge.
Thank you so much Kim!
