Very highly recommend Kirsten’s Pup2Dog training!! I have one lead reactive dog and one dog who is fearful of other dogs when they get too close. As you can imagine, walking them together was becoming a nightmare and just plain stress inducing. After a one-on-one session with Kirsten, she loaded us with strategies, an action plan and reward based training tips. Fast forward 6 months and my fearful dog hasn’t snapped at another dog in months, is happier and trusts me to protect her. My lead reactive dog now looks at me instead of barking when we walk passed other dogs. I’m blown away by the amazing progress I’ve seen in my dogs. I would 100% recommend Kirsten with anyone who needs any help with their pup!

We have loved every minute of puppy class and adolescent class! We learnt a lot, made new friends and had a lot of fun. Kirsten has so much to offer and is a fabulous trainer. I would highly recommend Kirsten’s pup2dog training.

Kirsten has made the entry to the world of puppy parenting for us so much more bearable, with great puppy classes to set up foundations for our energetic boy and teach us how to teach him as well as understand what to expect and what is normal. The adolescent classes helped to refine skills and keep him on track and her ongoing advice, tips and knowledge gives us a fantastic resource to keep up with training. Getting a puppy through to adulthood is a marathon and like raising children, it takes a village. You won't regret having Kirsten in your team.

Kristen had so much patience and kindness when dealing with my anxious, scaredy cat big boy. she took the time to understand Patrick's particular issues and work with me to make training a fun, positive experience. Patty loves his aunty Kirsten and I would (and have) recommend her to anyone regardless of where they're at with their dog.

Kirsten is hands down the best dog trainer I have ever come across! Thank you so much for being so patient, compassionate & sharing all of the knowledge you have with us! I love your training style and you made it so easy to learn over zoom, and gave us so much information! You helped make such a difference with Archie & I couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much, I couldn’t recommend KirstensPup2Dog training enough!

Kristen has been Skye’s trainer since her puppy days and boy oh boy! What a delightful journey it has been. We have comes long way with her input and guidance. Skye being a beagle is very adamant in her ways. Kristen has taught me to love this journey with Skye. She has taught me how to make training my dog fun using only positive reinforcement. Would highly recommend her to all first dog owners. She is able to answer queries and supports you with queries even after training sessions are done. Her place is stocked with any essentials that you need as dog owners which is very handy! So all in all a one stop shop.

Kirsten was amazing! We had an at home consult for our 10 month old Amstaff Snoop who we had some troubles walking on the lead. Kirsten was so helpful! She was completely non judgemental, listened to our problems and only used kind, reward based training methods for our strong boy. We couldn’t recommend Kirsten enough and can’t wait to put our training to practice 🐾 🐶

We joined Kirstens online Adolescent class with our 18 month old beagle. We have used In person trainers before who used a "balanced " approach to training "positive and negative reinforcement " and it made no difference! After 6 weeks with Kirstens guidance our naughty beagle is a different dog and we love him more than ever! thanks Kirsten! You are awesome and Its obvious you are incredibly passionate about ensuring all dogs have the best life!

The best decision I made was to enquire with Kirsten for adolescent classes. I love how open and honest she is with her advice, and I greatly appreciate her willingness to share and give practical hints and tips in best caring for our pets! The training was so beneficial for our puppy Sully but also for myself as a first time anxious pet owner. I can’t recommend her enough and I know who I can reach out to if we( Sully and I) need a refresher. Thank you Kirsten from Sully and our family xx
