"We wouldn't have such a well behaved dog if it had not been for Doreen" We began private in-home training with Doreen when Chewie was 3 months old. Doreen taught Chewie basic puppy manners. She also taught us, as a family, how to train him and more importantly, how to be responsible dog owners. Chewie has since gone on to receive his Canine Good Citizen title and also is a registered Therapy Dog. We wouldn’t have such a well-behaved dog had it not been for Doreen. She is a wealth of information and clearly has a passion for the dogs. We are truly blessed.

"Ruby is the best dog we’ve ever had and I firmly believe it is because Doreen trained her and us!" We started training with Doreen the day after we brought our golden doodle, Ruby, home! She could sit and lay down after the first visit. Ruby is the best dog we’ve ever had and I firmly believe it is because Doreen trained her and us! Ruby is now a therapy dog at Mar and Lennon Dentistry. Doreen's facility was well thought out and designed for pet safety. Everything about K-9 Kudos is perfect and Doreen is truly a gem that we are lucky to have in our lives!

“Doreen has helped make life more enjoyable for both our young dog and our family.” Doreen has been a lifesaver & educated us so much with our super anxious and fearful Mini Goldendoodle! She has helped make life more enjoyable for both our young dog and our family. She is always more than willing to offer advice whenever we reach out to her. When we added a second puppy to our family, we brought him to K-9 Kudos' Puppy Life Skills classes and he is now a confident, well-mannered pup.
