  • Dropped [off] a little monster in the making and got back a totally different dog who actually minded and respected the training he had been given. Highly recommend K9WAGIN

  • I needed an older Papillion that I inherited to be trained. He went from difficult dog to one that is enthusiastic about his training in a few weeks. I could not be happier. Kerri is loving, patient, and knowledgable.

  • We have gained so much from our pups' time with Kerri. She has such a sense for how pets are wired and how to get the best from them. Her love of furry folks is clear. We trust her fully and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring trainer and care taker of their pets.

  • Kerri was very helpful both times we had her over. She offered keen and perceptive advice that was individual to our dog. She also followed up several times and kept close correspondence to ensure we were keeping up with the training. She was also kind enough to offer personal notes, advice, and tips that were unique to the dog. Highly recommend!

  • Kerri is great at what she does. Within the first few moments of teaching my dog obedience I was blown away from her techniques, my border collie responded well to her, she gave me great advice and methods to train my dog. Since then my border is doing well on learning to obey. Takes a lot of patience but it's well worth it! I highly recommend her!

  • Kerri came to our home for a consultation (and first lesson) with our Aussie mix rescue, and we were very impressed. She showed us techniques we can use to work with our dog’s timidness and dog aggression. She even tested our girl with her own dogs! We will definitely be contacting her for future training sessions. Her prices are reasonable, especially for the quality experience and knowledge she offers. Thank you Kerri! :)

  • Our Sophie is one year old and has had many challenges to keeping her attention on task. Kerri was informative and compassionate! She helped Sophie, and us, learn new skill sets in a kind but consistent way. We are so happy with the results we have seen with Sophie's ability to learn, walk on leash calmly and act more appropriately in our house. We're looking forward to all our continued learning. Thankyou Kerri for a VERY professional job well done! We HIGHLY recommend Kerri for your dog training issues.

  • I hired Kerri to help my elderly parents work with their energetic rescue Labrador. My parents are in their late 80s and have trained labs for years, but were not able to fully manage a young active dog. Kerri was fabulous with both my folks and their dog. She came to their home and worked to ensure that the dog respects their space and understands basic commands. She was respectful of their knowledge and has become a true resource for them. We couldn't be more pleased. I highly recommend Kerri

  • At the heart of Kerri's training is a deep love and respect for each dog as an individual. She has worked with us to help train our smart, funny and head strong Great Dane from puppy to young adult. Her methods are innovative and humane. She communicates with dogs in ways that they understand - and teaches her clients to do the same. Kerri is an invaluable resource and sounding board. We are so thankful to have her as a partner in training our dog.

  • Kerri was absolutely the right person for our dog Rosie. She taught us so much about her and the inner workings of why she is the way she is. Rosie is a Working Australian Shepard and has a very active brain. We had come to stand still where we just couldn’t figure out what to do next. She was out of control. Kerri saved the day for us all. She’s quiet on the leash, no pulling. She has learned to calm down enough to take directive. And the best part is we aren’t yelling at her all day long. We have even learned how to defuse a situation before it gets out of control. My favorite part about Kerri’s training was the constant updates and videos we received with Rosie’s progress. I even text Kerri here and there with questions on behaviors that we are just not sure about and always receive a quick response. Kerri was quite affordable, I felt like her pricing was very reasonable for what she was offering. She’s worth every penny, but more importantly your dog deserves an advocate like Kerri.

  • We are over the moon in our 1st experience w/ Kerri. Trust me, we are not inexperienced w/ dog trainers. We have a unique rescue dog w/ some real challenging, fear agression behavior. The first two trainers didn't really look into our dogs past and truly assess his current behavior...nobody really wanted to deal w/ him and his circumstances. Kerri came to our home, assessed us, our home environment and our dog. Our dog immediately succumbed to her training. She taught us real life techniques to put to use immediately. Now we know what direction we're going in, and our dog can feel safe that we've got his back. We're putting our best alpha feet forward and we'll keep working w/ Kerri, to keep us working w/ our dog to make him be, the best he can be. We love him. Thank you Kerri.

  • I was at the end of my rope when I was fortunate enough to find Kerri Lamorey. I'm a very busy business owner and did not have time to train my Standard Poodle puppy. She came to my office, explained in detail what her plan was with "Winston" and assured me that my poodle just needed Obedience training and outlined in detail what she could do for him and me. She took him for a week, sent videos of his progress along with videos of him socializing and playing with her dogs. She took him to Home Depot and he obeyed all her commands. After 1 week she returned my dog to me, he was completely different. He now has manners, he is obedient and knows his place. He no longer pulls me when I walk him, he stays on the floor unless I invite him up to sit on the couch with me. He now loves being in his crate which has become a safe place for him. I am so happy with Kerri for giving me the dog I always wanted, he no longer jumps up on people, even though he is a puppy he weighs 50lbs and is a big boy! He heels when walking and is a delight to be around. I am even considering making him a therapy dog. I recommend her with no hesitation!

  • I am very pleased to provide a testimonial for Kerri Lamorey of K9WAGIN Dog Training. I used to think that I was a pretty good dog guy but my meager skill pales in comparison to the encyclopedic knowledge and solid experience that Kerri Lamorey has with dogs. To say that she has mastered dog-think and behaviors would be an understatement. She is especially adept with herding dogs. I learned of Kerri when I watched her give a herding-dog demonstration at the Reno Celtic Festival. I thought of her a few months later after I rescued a twelve-month-old Border-Collie-Kelpie mix from a shelter in Salinas California. This high-power dog had been feral for most of its life and it was a calamity waiting to happen. I realized that I would need Kerri if this rescue dog and I were to have any hope of a future together. Twelve months later HappyJack is still a handful but that's to be expected from a dog with the combined energy of an entire ranger platoon. Thanks to Kerri, Jack and I have learned to channel his enormous drive in productive ways. Kerri skillfully employs rational, compassionate, behavior modification to dog and human simultaneously. She is not afraid to voice her opinions honestly and with passion regarding all things dog. You have only to listen to her and incorporate her recommendations which she communicates tactfully, clearly, and respectfully to gain the dog you want to have. If having a balanced, secure, polite, obedient, well-behaved, eager-to-learn, dog is important to you, Kerri is the trainer for you. If having confidence that your dog’s behavior will be appropriate when introduced to anyone or to any situation is important to you, Kerri is your trainer. I recommend her highly and without reservation.
