We had a wonderful experience with Lindsey from Koru K9. We have a six-year-old Australian Shepherd and an eight-month-old Australian Shepherd who both needed some solid training — plus we have a newborn, so finding the right person to handle things in one shot was a must. Also, finding someone who would come pick up the dog was so convenient. We are in Mill Valley and she came from Santa Rosa so he was relatively close 🙂
We’re absolutely thrilled with Lindsey and all the work she did with Gizmo, our intact puppy. Working with an unfixed dog is no small task! He ended up staying with her for about a month, and her property was perfect — tons of space in the backyard where he could run and play. She also trains guide dogs for the blind, which made us feel even more confident that he was in the hands of the best of the best.
She sent us biweekly updates, was always responsive, and truly made the whole “sending your dog away” part so much easier. Of course we missed him and would prefer to have him with us always, but Lindsey kept us informed and genuinely made us feel good about the experience.
She was incredibly patient, walking us through everything we needed to know — because let’s be honest, sometimes we need just as much training as the dogs, lol.
Would 100% recommend her to anyone.
