"Highly recommended! I've been taking lessons with Kim for many years now. She's a wonderful, caring instructor, who knows how to get the best out of you and your dog. I travel more than 1 hour each way to train with her - her instruction is worth all the travel time. The facility has heat/air conditioning, the flooring is great and she has all the necessary equipment. Anyone who's interested in agility should take their dogs to Kim Seiter's classes. From foundations through advanced competition, Kim's done it all and teaches it all. She'll help you and your dog go as far in the sport as you want. Again, highly recommended."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I have taken my dogs to Kim for over 7 years. Kim is an excellent instructor who not only has the skills, but also cares. 2016 I searched for last minute privates to help me prepare for Westminster. Kim stepped up to the plate and took me on her day off to prepare us. She prepared us so well that my dog took Highest scoring mixed breed and 3rd place for her height group. I am now taking my puppy to her. Highly recommend!"

"I have trained three dogs with Kim. She really excells at promoting the relationship between you and your dog, not just training them how to go through a tunnel. She is patient and helps you to have positive goals at each session. I have taken group classes and private lessons. She is an amazing resource for dog training."
