# Client Success Story: Ashley Nunez & Finley
By **Bridget Murphy** ·Published **Oct 11, 2024** ·3 min read
#### In this article
Ray & Bridget Murphy, co-founders of Koru K9 Dog Training, [sit down](https://www.youtube.com/@Koruk9/videos) with Washington based dog trainer, [Ashley](https://www.koruk9.com/about-us/our-team/), to chat about a recent [transformation success story](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY7ph1weEic&t=289s).
Read Finley's mom's review of her experience with Ashley & Koru K9: "We had the best experience with Ashley Nunez with Koru K9 and would highly recommend this company to anyone seeking dog training at any capacity. We sent our very high energy and leash reactive 1.5 year old Golden Retriever / Irish Setter puppy on the 4-week Board & Train and could not be more pleased with the result. Ashley is a very personable, responsive, and thorough dog trainer who understands dogs on a deeper level and produces results that are sustainable long term. While Finley was in training we received extremely detailed updates that not only provided us with the process and gave us tips and tricks on how to help carry out this behavior post training. We also received high quality pictures of our pup that made us feel like she was still at home with us. Ashley exceeded all of our desired training goals and brought Finley back as a new, obedient dog while still maintaining her spunky personality. Finley had effectively learned how to go on a several mile walk on the leash (before training, we could hardly leave our door step), learned how to "do nothing" at home, and has learned how to listen even with distractions. Ashley spent 2 hours with us transitioning Finley back into our home and taught us how to continue her successful obedience going forward. Ashley's support did not stop here, she continued to serve as a resource for us post training, answering any questions about Finley's behavior in the one or out on the town. Ashley truly cares about the success of the dogs. During our follow up training session with Ashley, she helped us dial in some of Finley's behaviors post training, and gave us some tips on how to work with our middle aged dog as well. She has gone out of her way to ensure Finley's training is for the long term. Ashley, as well as Koru K9, are dedicated to ensure you receive your desired results out of your dogs training and are in this business for all the right reasons!"
