Interacted with both the canine and all members of the family. Demonstrated exceptional skills in conveying advice for training, addressing behavioral issues, and managing health concerns through both verbal and written means.

Upon her arrival, Kristin quickly gained my dog's trust and made him feel comfortable. He actively participated in the training sessions and was highly receptive to her guidance. It was evident that he held a strong affinity for her.

Working with my dogs, Kristen has been fantastic. I have a lively pup that is always up for play, and an older dog who is often grumpy. Kristen is helping them learn new tricks, bond and ultimately live together harmoniously. Her perseverance in creating schedules for my puppy and keeping us on track is much appreciated. With Kristen's guidance, I am confident that my dogs will be in an even better position by the time our training is complete.

Kristin is exceptional. Despite not having personally interacted or worked with my furry friend, she generously provided me with valuable guidance and exerted extra effort to assist me in finding the perfect dog. She exudes authenticity and comes highly praised. I wholeheartedly endorse her and am excited for the debut of her new establishment in Franklin Park, NJ. I cannot wait to enroll my pup and have him trained by her. Overall, her customer service is truly remarkable.

Unlike many of the trainers I spoke with, Kristin does not only possess obedience training skills. She also has the ability to understand a dog's emotional needs, such as stress level, anxiety, activity level, and medical conditions. Kristin trained my dog at her own residence and regularly discussed with my doctor about tests to eliminate factors that may have caused my dog's poor behavior. She communicates with clients in a clear and effective manner. I highly recommend Kristin and Blue Butterfly Dog Training without any hesitation.
