"Coach Karli is a miracle worker. When I brought home a stray dog in February, and for weeks afterwards, it seemed that keeping her was going to be near impossible. She was very aggressive to my other dogs and was always looking for a way to attack them. The first time Coach Karli arrived, she saw the problem immediately. To add to the aggressive/afraid stray, I had a very stubborn dog who was not pleased about the new addition. Through her incredible patience and firm but calm manner, she was able to gradually and safely introduce the dogs to each other. Now, after only a half dozen sessions, they run around and play like they have been best friends forever. Thanks to Coach Karli, Roxy is no longer a stray, she has a forever home with other friends, and Bunny and Clover are still happy and safe in their own home. I never thought it was possible – but she made it look easy. Thank you!!!!!"

"The behavioral issues Peaches had were, acting as pack leader, issues with obedience, grabbing food, unfamiliar with commands, and urinating indoors."
"We saw results very quickly – in fact, Peaches did a 180 degree turn in her behavior in less than one week with Coach Karli’s tips."
"The most important thing that we learned was that it is not hard to re-train an older dog, if you have knowledge and understanding of how they think and what they are looking for from their humans. Once we understood that Peaches was simply asking us to set boundaries for her, she became more relaxed and loving."
"I have not used any trainers in the past, and never will in the future. Coach Karli is it!"
"Coach Karli's training methods were extremely easy, very intuitive, and made a lot of sense. It wasn’t just training for the dog; it was training for us humans too."
"Coach Karli’s training methods have been instrumental in making my experience as a first-time dog owner truly delightful and rewarding. Peaches is a rescued dog who picked up many bad habits over the years, and learned that she can get away with her bad actions simply by not listening. It was frustrating for us not knowing what she was trying to tell us and unable to read signals. With Coach Karli’s help, we have learned to interpret her behavior and understand why she acts the way she does, and how to help her become closer to us. I have referred Coach Karli to my roommate too, who has a senior rescued dog as well. As usual, Coach Karli was at her best, wowing everyone with her knowledge and experience."
"Thank you Coach Karli!! Peaches and I are paws-itively best friends now!! Woof!"

"I SAW IMMEDIATE RESULTS, AND THE TOOLS WERE EASY TO FOLLOW"
"Coach Karli has a unique and wonderful gift! I admire her for doing what she loves every day and for loving our dogs and so positively touching the lives of others. Sometimes I wish I could just snap my fingers and have you here, because I know I’ll get an immediate result from whatever my dog is doing that I can’t seem to get him to stop. But instead, I try to correct the behavior with some of your simple voice commands and gestures, and he usually responds relatively well to those. I’ve never needed your dog sitting services yet because of an arrangement I have with a neighbor, but if ever she is unavailable, you are the first (and only) person I would call! I’ve interacted with you and seen you your work enough to know my pets would be very safe and happy in your care. I have every confidence in you, and I applaud your work!! Thank you for all the positive changes you’ve made in our lives…because of you, our lives with our dogs are much more enjoyable."

"Coach Karli came highly recommended by my dog’s friends, The Keezer Kids. (Two dogs who have also benefited from Coach Karli) Before adopting Sophia, there was no reason to call upon Coach Karli for services, since Addy had no “known” behavioral issues before. On the other hand, my little Sophia has turned our life upside down and we needed a little assistance in making our family a happy one"
"I am beyond satisfied. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Coach Karli. Her knowledge is extensive and the response I have received from the training has been a life saver!"
"By using natural teaching methods were not only easy for the dogs to learn, retain and show progression; these methods also are very humane and do not require unnecessary discipline. I learned being consistent is of the utmost importance."
"I have recommended Coach Karli to numerous people. Usually, it is after they have commented on how well behaved my dogs are. (Usually Addy and not so much Sophia, but they are forgiving since she is just a pup!) I have passed her information on, multiple times, by writing down her very easy to remember website. Thank you Coach Karli. We would not be where we are without you and look forward to learning more in the future."

"We had just about given up hope that our puppy would listen to me or that I would ever be able to take her for a walk without Martin. Bella is a completely different dog! After just one lesson, the change was amazing! Bella and I actually enjoy our walks together now! Coach Karli is a life-saver!"

"My feeling is that there is no one better to care for or work with an animal. Karli is patient, kind, experienced and amazing to watch. There is little doubt that she has tremendous impact on the humans as well as the dogs she sees. In my experience, Karli is my dog's personal dog whisperer. She has a nack, particularly with Prince, to get him to do her bidding at any time in any place. She sees the good in both the animal and the human and finds a way to bring out the best in us all. (Also she is incredibly practical about training methods, toys, rewards and kenneling dogs when necessary.)"

"Karli, not only made it convenient by coming to our house, she also was very personable and extremely knowledgeable in terms of training our dogs. She never missed a beat and was fabulous. She is worth every penny and more in my opinion. We only wish that we would have choose her before going anywhere else. We have seen a tremendous difference in our dogs with only two sessions. "
"PetSmart training required that you spend countless hours working with your dog each day. Knowing that we all work full-time and just don’t have that kind of time, it was unrealisitic. Karli, had us work with our dogs in a effective and time efficient manner. Coach Karli also worked on the problems that she saw and allowed us to follow by her example. She was amazing."
"We learned that the main reason for our Akita’s behavioral and aggressive behavior was because of his lack of respect for us. I would have never thought that was the case, but it was true. We also learned that you have to be more stern when punishing them as they are big dogs. I could go on for pages about the things we learned."
"I would recommend Coach Karli to absolutely everyone. We have 7 dogs and many people think that there is no way that you could handle that many dogs. Coach Karli showed us various techniques that will allow us to have a very happy pack. She was patient and very understanding while working with us. She never looked at the clock and stayed as long as she needed to. She was great."

"Karli was great. She has a great rapport with the dogs and is a good teacher for the "humans""
"We did training through Pet Smart which was good for the basic things. The difference is having Karli come to your home and observe the specific behaviors that need to be worked on. She came up with great solutions as far as crating, feeding and playing in our home. These are all things that the trainer at Pet Smart could not help us with."
"Karli has a geat wealth of experience in training and living with dogs. You can tell that she truly loves her job, as well as her clients."
