Dog Training

Positive Certified Training

  • Positive training benefits both ends of the leash! Whether you’re interested in learning ways to bond, create compassionate communication, solve behavior struggles, or all of the above,

    I can help.

My Training methods

  • Science-Based

    As a certified VSA-CDT (Victoria Stilwell Academy Certified Dog Trainer), I use up-to-date best practices driven by continuing education.

  • Positive

    Research finds that positive training methods lead to best outcomes. Aversives, intimidation, and punishment have no place in my toolkit.

  • Personalized

    Your dog, your life, and your day-to-day are unique. Your training plan will be as well! If I am not the best fit for you, I will happily refer you to someone who can be.

  • I just adopted my first dog and got to work with Kaci within hours of bringing her home! She walked me through her Welcome Home session and it gave me so much peace of mind as a new dog owner. I learned some of the basics of how dogs function and what behaviors to expect. Kaci is incredibly knowledgeable about what makes dogs tick and she combines her expertise with empathy and a genuine passion for dogs. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

  • “Kaci is AMAZING! She has such a sensible and kind approach to dog training that makes me feel empowered as an owner!”

    — Michelle Ay. (In-Person Training)

  • “The world of training your pup can be so daunting, as there are so many pieces of advice flying around the internet. Kaci approached with confidence and showed us new ways of approaching our sweet gal Kolache with consistency and positive affirmation that showed results literally in the hour she spent with Kolache. I cannot recommend Kaci highly enough, personally and professionally!”

  • “My Louie boy and I are so very lucky to have found Kaci. From the get go, Kaci has been interested in learning everything about Louie’s needs and preferences. Kaci has advanced Louie’s progress in training with each visit as well as seeing to it that all of Louie’s exercise and feeding needs are met. Kaci leaves detailed notes, pics, and videos. I couldn’t recommend Kaci more highly!”

  • “Kaci was great! Thanks for being patient and slowly approaching Carly to allow her time to warm up to you. I highly recommend Kaci.”

    — Tracey S. (Local Sitting)

  • “Kaci’s dedication to her clients and their parents is palpable. She cares so deeply about the relationship, the energy and encouraging positivity throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend Kaci for anyone’s dog training needs whether big or small!”

    — Sam C. (Virtual Training)

  • “I loved that she brought a cooling bandana for my dog and had her do puzzle treats!”

    — Brianna D. (Local Sitting)

  • “Short notice helped me out by coming a few times to take care of my dog. He loved Kaci so much he was looking for her when I returned!”
