Quality Canines by Kim

My wife and I decided to open our home to a pair of rescue dogs. Working with a local rescue organization we adopted the two Golden's over a few months. After adding the second dog we almost immediately started to see issues with the second dog. Things ranging from guarding of food and toys to aggression. Not knowing his history we tried to see if it would get better as time went on. It didn’t, on a visit to out trusted vet he was able to see some of his issues. He gave us a list of local trainers with one name hi-lighted, Quality Canines.
Shortly there after we were at a crossroad. It was either give this guy back to the rescue or try the training. We figured that giving him back had the very real possibility of it not being a happy ending. The training route was selected and Kim was contacted. Lessons were setup and quickly started. We were hopeful but skeptical that we were going to see the results we had hoped for.

Quality Canines By Kim in Crystal Lake is outstanding. Our family has a total of five dachshunds (very difficult dogs to train) ranging in ages 17-4. Kim has lovingly and effectively worked with our entire family to teach us what the dogs behavior means and how to work with the dogs. She is patient, knowledgeable and relentless! She never fails to answer a question or call back with extra help to guide us while we are working with our dogs on our own. I just can't say enough about Kim. I have recommended her to many friends and they have all been extremely satisfied with her services. If you are going to invest in a dog and make a commitment for the dogs lifetime, using Kim's services is a MUST!!!

Training Methods: Our training methods are based on praise and motivation. There won’t be any hitting, yelling, or hanging your dog. “If the tail isn’t wagging, your dog isn’t learning.” A lot of kisses and hugs go into our training to keep up your dog’s confidence and self esteem.
Do You Offer Group Classes? No. Grouping dogs together in a class situation can be very confusing for your dog and frustrating for you, as owners. Every dog, regardless of breed, has a unique personality that requires individual attention and training by a certified, qualified individual. This will also give you the opportunity to train at your own pace without feeling rushed or left behind. Don’t worry. You won’t be missing out on...
