Education
Shadow Programs
$350/day | $900/3 days | $1750/6 days
Whether you’re just entering the dog world or are an established professional looking to broaden your skill set, this program is for you. Follow Kim for the day and observe how she runs her business, manages her team, works with new and existing clients, operates her pack walks, boarding dogs, daycare, and of course, how she works with the current dogs in her training programs.
Every day can be extremely hands-on, physically and mentally demanding, so come ready and rested to keep up! You will practice Kim’s simple, yet proven formulas and techniques on any dogs she believes are safe and appropriate to suit your skill set. As the title implies, this involves Shadowing Kim while she works, so bringing your own dog to work should be set up through a different training program.

Train The Lifestyle Workshops
$1200 Working | $800 Audit
Bring your reactive dog and spend an intensive 3 day weekend learning how to properly fulfill their needs, communicate more clearly, read their cues and ultimately connect on a higher level. This is a small, fun and private event with only 5 working spots and no more than 2-3 audit spots allowed.
On Day 1, Kim will specifically break down TCR’s “‘Yes’ Cycle” and 4 Geometry Shapes: Rectangle, Square, Triangle & Circle. In this we teach you and your dog about loose leash walking, waiting in stillness when troubled, mental and physical thresholds & shaping free movement and healthy free thinking.
Day 2, our team safely stages controlled challenges that trigger your dog’s reactivity and you get to apply all of what you’ve been learning. In this time we teach/strengthen Recall, expand on E-Collar (if the dog is already conditioned) and learn about TCR’s Sound Space Touch protocols.
On the final day, we take it to the real world! We meet at a local park, start with car work and then move about the park around uncontrolled distractions/triggers. You will understand how to bring all of your learnings together to practically problem solve reactivity. The third day ends with a large social with about a dozen of TCR’s most trusted pack members. Each student gets to watch Kim introduce their dog to the pack and learn just what their dog is actually capable of and how other balanced dogs see them. Breaking down the psychology of what your dog is going through to better understand how to support, advocate for or interrupt them.
Hosted at the TCR’s Ranch in Santa Clarita, CA.
