Rebecca came highly recommended by several when I asked for a local dog trainer in a social media group. I had a boxer puppy who ended up being the class clown. She gave me to tools and most importantly the confidence when training this hyper pup. My dog has gone though the puppy class, advanced training and now onto public access classes. I have since gotten another puppy who has been though puppy and advanced training. We have recommended many of our friends to Rebecca as well as use her for boarding.

My husband and I love Kindred Spirit Ranch. Our puppy did the stay and train program for 2 weeks and when we picked him up he was crate trained and with consistency on our end was potty trained after a few days being in our home.
Our puppy has completed the puppy training class and is now in the K9 good citizens class. Rebecca is a wonderful trainer! We've also had our goldendoodle groomed by Natasha at Kindred Spirit Ranch and she did a fantastic job!
We haven't had to board our dog yet but we definitely plan on having him stay at Kindred Spirit Ranch when we do. So many people have been impressed with how well trained our puppy is and that is thanks to Rebecca giving us the tools. I'd recommend them to anyone with a new puppy or who needs some help with training.

Rebekah trained our rescued 2 year old Pyranese Lab mix to be good with our chickens and general obedience. She also boarded her for a week while we were out of town. My dog was happy and well cared for when we returned. Rebekah has an ideal set up for boarding and was easy to work with as a trainer coming out to us. Would recommend all around!

I’m a first time puppy owner and to say I was nervous before embarking on this journey would be a huge understatement. I honestly did not know how I was going to manage raising the pup by myself while balancing the stresses and unpredictability of my job nor did I even know where to begin.
Fortunately, I was referred to Rebecca who came highly recommended for a stay and train program for my 8 week old mini GoldenDoodle. After speaking with her on the phone and explaining my situation and concerns, she recommended I do the 3 week training program, which turned out to be the best decision and investment.
I’ve now had my little pup Ellie for 2 weeks, and I cannot thank Rebecca enough for the amazing job she did with her. I couldn’t have asked for such a sweet and well-behaved pup. It’s apparent that Rebecca did a great job with socialization as Ellie has never met a stranger and loves to meet new people and is good with other animals. She also quickly picked up on her potty training and crate training. Rebecca was very good at checking in those first few days to make sure everything was ok and making herself available to answer any questions.
Looking back, I am beyond grateful for what Rebecca did as she set me up with the foundation to smoothly transition Ellie into my life.

Rebecca is amazing! She has worked with several of our dogs. She helped train my daughter's medic alert service dog. My daughter is a freshman in college and with Rebecca's help was able to take her service dog to college with her to attend classes. Nugget, the service dog, is so well behaved people don't even realize she is there. With Rebecca's help, we all learned how to be better owners while or fur babies learned how to be Canine Good Citizens. We have used Rebecca for boarding, board and train, private, and group lessons. I cannot say enough about how great she is with all involved. I highly recommend you send your dogs to Rebecca or take one of her classes. You won't regret it.

Kindred Spirit Ranch helped my dog become my dream dog. 10/10 recommend all their services. When my old German Shepherd Maggie passed after 12 years, I thought I’d never have another as good as her. I thought she was a fluke of the breed. There’s no way a working breed is always this well rounded, calm, good with any dog, child, stranger, etc.. you put her with right? I waited a year to get another knowing I couldn’t live without a GSD in my home, but also knowing raising/ training a solid good citizen GSD can come with challenges… and Maggie had made it just too easy. Insert Mina. She was pretty and she looked just like Maggie, I was smitten. BUT…She was terrified of all other dogs bigger than her which came out in the form of aggression and weary of strangers. I knew her behaviors needed to be curbed as early on as possible to have the solid dog that could truly be part of the family and community as Maggie was. So I Enrolled Mina in the KSR Puppy Class for socialization and help with her basic commands. Perfection! The socialization Methods and training approach are the best fit! Rebecca tailors to your dog and helps trouble shoot/ focus on your goals and dogs needs. The nervous aggression towards larger dogs was gone completely in just a few sessions! One of the other parts I love about KSR is she boards in her home! Every time I go out of town and Mina can’t come, I know she is treated as one of the family with Rebecca, her husband, and all her children. This came in especially handy to fix the weary of strangers issue I had early on too! After just one, 4-night stint boarding at KSR my dog was completely okay with everyone!! Mina is a year and half now, and Most recently we completed the Advanced Behaviors and Training Class and earned our Canine Good Citizen through KSR. This class honed in on the training that is necessary for brining your dog into public parks, dog friendly establishments, and community gatherings. While ensuring they stay focused on you and wait for the next task you give them. ** There was a service dog and handler team in our advanced class with KSR and it was awesome to see the processes Rebecca uses of training the specialized tasks she needed to perform for her owner. Mina is every bit the dog that Maggie was now and I know I owe that largely to KSR and the classes, training, boarding, and easy to understand homework given by Rebecca to help us succeed. A trained dog is a happy dog and Rebecca/KSR is your best choice. You won’t be disappointed.

KSR has been the most amazing thing for me, my family, and our dogs! My daughter just finished their Advanced Class with her Standard Poodle, Koda. They even earned their CGC and CGAC certificates! I finished the puppy class with our F1 Bernedoodle who really made the most amazing transformation through class! I can’t believe how far he came along!! He is a totally different dog and the classes really helped me see him for his true self. I feel confident that we can earn our CGC together in the very near future! 😍❤️ I’m so looking forward to coming back to the puppy classes to teach and socialize our new puppies here soon. I will definitely be turning to KSR for all of my needs, and highly recommend them to all of my puppy families. ❤️❤️

Rebecca is really good working with all sorts of dogs. She can help with a lot of different behavior problems, like jumping and pulling on a leash.

Rebecca is very professional and does a great job with me, my dogs and clients that I refer to her.

I have been taking my two german shepherds to Rebecca for the past 6 weeks now. We have done private classes for basic obedience, group classes for advanced obedience, and group classes for puppy obedience and socialization and I can honestly say none of these classes have disappointed. Rebecca is so knowledgeable and kind and so easy to work with. She bot only teaches your dog, she teaches you. Its been so great getting to work with her and my dogs are doing so much better and listen so well now. I am going to continue working with Rebecca but i know ill be sad when our sessions come to an end lol she is such a great person and teacher!! I highly recommend!!

I absolutely have adored training with her! My dogs love our classes and personal sessions. She’s always willing to help with any issue and walk you through anything you have questions about my dogs have made amazing progress since starting our training

KSR is the most amazing trainer!! I have two service dogs that went through KSR. The first struggled with socializing abs her puppy class absolutely turned him around! My second was personally trained by KSR abs she couldn’t be more responsive, well behaved and all around best team mate I could have asked for. KSR treats all dogs as if they were her own! I would recommend her to anyone and every!

Thunder (our rescue puppy) has grown leaps and bounds since taking part in KSRs STAR puppy program. Can’t wait to see how far we can take him through the rest of their courses!
