I've been in classes with dogs that have lunged and growled at her, but she never made the owner feel bad. No matter what, she worked with the dog, and within a matter of weeks, they were walking around the class in a respectful and controlled manner. At first, I was shocked, and then I just learned it was her magic that happened over and over with new dogs to the class. I have three dogs - all of which take her classes because 1) they love class, and 2) their behavior has improved beyond what I could have hoped. I've been to many schools where you learn to sit, down, blah blah. This was the first class that challenged us and allowed us to learn advanced skills. The trainer cares about her students and will check-in via email, providing free additional advice. I notice a not-so-good review on this site, but there are always people who have to complain, while the hundreds of dedicated Eastside Dog students are too busy having fun with their dogs to write Yelp reviews.

I've never had a worse phone experience…read more Called last week to ask about whether it would be a good fit for my dog who is well behaved at home and friendly to female dogs but tries to scuffle with other males. I didn't know if this was the right place for him to meet some other dogs and work on training, so I called. A lady called me back today, I told her what I was looking for, and she was incredibly condescending. She lectured me about how my dog is an animal and not my child, which I know and agree with, and told me me if he barks at people coming into my house he's doing his job and if I love him and feed him he doesn't need to ever interact with other dogs. At first I honestly thought she was kidding. I'm still kind of taken aback. I've never had someone treat me so rudely over the phone or in person. Again, I wasn't trying to demand she fix my dog or anything, just ask if this might be a good fit for him. In conclusion, wtf??

We were really excited to get our first puppy but we did not realize all the headaches that were to come. A month or so in, I was at Pet Pros in Lake Stevens buying a muzzle for my puppy because he would not stop biting my wife. The clerk suggested that rather than use the muzzle begin working with a trainer. She handed me Kim's card. Kim has been a great trainer. The constant nipping has become a thing of the past. Redford knows over a dozen commands. Whether he listens or not is something we are still working on :-), but he is only 6 months old. Incredible! Additionally, my favorite thing about Lake Stevens K9 Academy LLC is that I am able to board my puppy with Kim. Redford loves his "playdates". So it gives me peace of mind when I'm away from him because I know he is in a place he loves and that he's in great hands. Thanks Kim! Nathaniel and Brittany Van Duine
