I prioritize clear communication with clients, emphasizing the importance of setting realistic expectations and understanding their dog's needs.

Our goal is to empower you and your dog to continue growing together throughout your training journey.
I look forward to working with you and helping your dog thrive!
Dog trainer and heart behind Developing Canines.
Kimmy has been wonderful with our dog. We've done weekly pack walks, one on one training sessions and also attended group classes. Cannot recommend highly enough, Kimmy is kind, caring and knowledgeable. She has taught me a lot and really helped us learn how to better manage with our boisterous, high energy dog.

Reviews
Kimmy has been helping me and my reactive dog, Chief. She is our 3rd trainer, and she has been the best trainer in recognizing the issues (both me and chief were not confident) and knowing how to deal with them. Even with small things like him not biting my fingers while I am giving him a treat, just shows how relaxed he has become during our walks. All of the small things have added up and are giving me and Chief confidence during our walks, we could not have been here if not for her help. I am amazed by the results I am seeing these days.

I highly recommend working with Developing Canines. I contacted Kimmy after a recommendation and she helped with our walking, structure and how to correctly play with Murph. He absolutely loved her too! Since working with Kimmy I have noticed huge improvements in Murphy's behaviour and my own confidence.
