Hi! I’m Kelli,
a Professional Dog Trainer
based in Sacramento, CA.
I offer personalized training for
you & your dog.
I believe that training a dog only works if you feel confident in your own skills teaching & handling your dog.
I focus as much importance on the training of the dog as I do in coaching you!
PROGRAMS
BOARD & TRAIN
This program is designed for anyone who would like to get a jump start on their dogs training. I will lay the foundation for you and then help you transfer all of your dogs new skills to your everyday life. While your dog is in the Board & Train program they will be living with me in my home. Throughout the three or four weeks your dog will be immersed in a daily training routine, which includes daily doses of structure, rules, socialization, outings, and supervised play. I focus each dog's training on your specific goals. You will receive regular video & photo updates of your dog while they are with me.
For dogs 5 months & older
I offer 3 or 4 week programs depending on your specific goals.
Includes follow up lessons, homework emails, training equipment and phone/email support
DAY TRAINING
This program is designed as a hybrid between a board & train and private lessons. This program is where I initially train your dog during the day & then you will continue with the training yourself as well! During the Day Train program I will work with your dog around various levels of distractions on your specific goals for them. This program is 2 days a week for 3 - 6 weeks. On the first day of the week that I have them I also do a private lesson with you for about an hour to go over what we've worked on and how to keep up with it. You’ll also receive custom video updates of your dog during the week so you can follow along with their training!
For dogs 5 months & older
Number of days depend on specific client goals and focus areas.
Includes follow up lessons, homework emails and phone/email support
PUPPY TRAINING
This program is designed to help you get off on the right paw with your new puppy!
The sessions are customized to cover the areas of concern for you and happen in your own home. Puppy training lessons address some of the most frustrating and challenging issues with new puppies. We will cover things such as potty training, crate training, proper socialization, home manners and so much more!
Puppies 8 weeks - 4 months
Number of lessons depend on specific client goals and focus areas.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
I believe that the relationship we have with our dogs should be built on mutual trust & understanding. I want to help each dog be a better version of themselves while coaching my clients on how to understand, communicate and enjoy their relationship to its fullest. I want to teach you how to train your dog and build an amazing life with them that you might never have thought was possible.
I have always had a love for dogs. Growing up I had my first experience with dog training through Guide Dogs for the Blind in San Rafael, CA. Through that program I raised & trained dogs to become Guide Dogs for the Blind. The moment I received my first puppy to raise & train I was hooked! I knew that this was more than just a passion, this could be my future.
Fast forward to 10 years ago when I moved to Austin, TX. I immediately sought out a job that would allow myself to continue my passion for working with dogs. I found one with a company that specialized in boarding, daycare & training. It was through this company that I grew my knowledge of dog behavior & communication. After growing into the role of lead trainer at one of their facilities I was still craving more knowledge. It was then that I found yet another company that specialized in dog training & working with behavioral cases. I’ve helped thousands of clients learn how to better communicate with their dogs. I’ve worked with many different behavioral cases and taught owners how to build a stronger relationship with their dogs. I’ve helped clients learn how to enjoy life with their dogs!
I am constantly fine tuning my craft with continued education through online learning, in-person seminars and collaborating with fellow dog trainers. I use my years of knowledge & experience of various methods and approaches in the dog training world to help you move forward with building the relationship you want with your dog. My goal is not just to train your dog, it is to give you and your dog the best life together. I believe that the relationship between human & dog is special and improving that relationship will bring happiness & clarity to their lives.
