We can't recommend Ms. Jennie at Kindred Spirits Dog Training enough! After we moved to the area, our dog Hank ran away, and the experience completely shook his confidence. We were heartbroken and never imagined he'd feel like himself again. Ms. Jennie changed all of that. Her patience, knowledge, and genuine love for dogs helped Hank rebuild his confidence in ways we never thought possible. She took the time to understand him, worked with him at his own pace, and gave us the tools and confidence we needed as owners too. Today he's a happy, confident dog who can even walk off leash—something we never would have considered before working with her. We're so grateful for everything Ms. Jennie has done for Hank and for us. If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares about your dog and delivers amazing results, Kindred Spirits Dog Training is the best choice. We wholeheartedly recommend her!

I loved having Luna come to work with Mrs Jennifer. Dalmatians are high strung so just to have her go and work with Luna was a treat. She learned so much. I do recommend that you take multiple sessions if you can .

Jennie is such a great trainer. My family came to a hard decision with a stray dog and she was an incredible guide and help. I couldn’t recommend her more!

We are very pleased with the progress Jenny made with our older rescue dog. When Milo showed up at our house it was obvious he'd had a rough life and had been abused. Jenny was able to break through to Milo and now we have a happy, healthy dog who works great on a leash and is learning to work well off leash too. Thank you Jenny!

You are very welcome! Milo is such a sweetheart and we are so happy to know he will be treated and taken are of so well! Thank you for your business and for your trust!

Jennie did a wonderful job with our dog Poppy. She was very mindful about what our specific needs were for Poppy and her life as our family pet, and Poppy responded beautifully to her training. Poppy came home a very content and confident dog, watching for direction and at peace in her daily life. We loved Poppy when we dropped her off, but we are enjoying her more than ever expected now that she is home. Jennie’s communication with us has been excellent and her follow up since coming home has been very helpful. I would recommend Kindered Spirits, with no reservations, to anyone looking to help their pet become a happy and valued member of their family.

Hands down a great experience. Great communication from Jennie and breanna. When I took my 6 month old lab puppy to go through the board and train he would jump up on you and mouth and nip and so far it's has been a complete change in his behavior. I couldn't have asked for a better experience if I had questions they answered them in the best ways possible. I am definitely looking forward to getting back with them to work on him some more to get him to the great dog I know he will be.

Thank you! It was such a pleasure to work with you and give your guy a solid foundation. We are so excited for his future and are so pleased we could be of service! He's a big love and gonna be an awesome dog!
