History

Established in 2000.

Our trainer Kim has worked with dogs for 30 years. In addition to training, her «doggie experience resume» includes grooming, non-​anesthetic teeth cleaning and pet ID tattooing, as well as working at a free-​run doggie day care, and as a canine swim therapist. She has competed with her own dogs in obedience and agility, and coached others for competitive obedience and dog grooming competitions. All of this has helped her to hone her animal husbandry, communication, and teaching skills, and to develop a keen understanding of dogs and their behavior. In addition to her past experiences, she continues to grow and learn by attending seminars, reading training books and remaining open to new challenges and opportunities for learning.

She is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers.

Kim R.

Business Owner

As the trainer and owner at Ain’t Misbehavin’ K9, I believe the most common issues that pet owners encounter stem from confusion… the confusion that arises when you combine two different species in one household. Dogs and people each have their own individual and essential way of viewing the world. My goal is to teach a better understanding of these differences in perspective, and to develop a line of communication that both can clearly and easily understand. In doing so, I work to help my clients strengthen the human/​animal bond and to create a harmonious living situation that satisfies the needs of both.

You really can change your dog’s behavior by changing the way you relate to your dog, and learning to effectively communicate is key.

For me there’s only one unbreakable rule when it comes to dog training, and that is that all dogs be treated with fairness and dignity. It’s the least we can offer in exchange for what they give us – uncompromising and unconditional love!
