“My partner and I have truly enjoyed working with Kota.”
“She has provided excellent advice for working with our new puppy and has had answers to every question we have posed. Her patience, dedication and passion are apparent in everything she does and her knowledge of dog training is extensive. She also helped provide recommendations to our neighbors with a dog and children and was wonderful in working with the kids so they understood how to be involved. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a well versed, kind and energetic dog trainer!”
— Holly
“Kota is without a doubt that person you could only wish upon a lucky star to find when on the search for the best human to teach and care for your precious fur baby.”
“DG ( my Pom) loves Kota, dogs don’t lie. Kota has taught her not to be terrified of the crate. DG would cry for hours before Kota taught me and DG how to understand not only the safety but the comfort of the crate. It started with some successful overnight sessions. Now DG is crate trained which gave her the skills to be potty trained! DG had zero recall, now this cutie is almost perfect with her recall! I could go on…Kota is the answer to a doggy Mamma’s prayers!”
—Vicki
“Kota has proven to be an invaluable resource for me and Tig.”
“I really thought I was prepared for a puppy but there was so much I never saw coming. Kota has helped me find ways to provide structure and enrichment to manage my extremely high energy pup, as well as coached me in training for different tricks and tasks to benefit Tig and myself! She is a wealth of knowledge and an amazing personality. But the biggest difference between Kota and past trainers I've worked with is she comes completely judgement free. As someone with a background in training and dog care, I knew I could still come to her and say "I don't know what I'm doing" and she would respond "That's okay. How can I help."
