Customer Reviews
Kera has been awesome to work with! I was so happy to find a trainer who was willing to come out to our house for private lessons and to check in on our dog when needed. She is extremely knowledgeable, and I loved that she provided detailed recaps of everything we covered in training sessions to refer back to. When checking in on our dog, she sends lots of pictures to give me peace of mind. Highly recommend Kera for all your dog training and home check-in needs!
- Hailey HI would 100% recommend CCPS for anyone looking for a great dog daycare option in Winona. My dog always gets super excited when we turn into the driveway which reassures me that my pup truly loves going to daycare with Kera. She’s always been very accommodating with our schedule and sends home a tired, happy dog every time.
- Kati TKera has such impressive talent when it comes to dog behavior. She has a keen eye when observing body language and analyzing patterns that can get to the root cause of behavior problems, which allows for her to bring about the most effective training plan. She has such a passion for what she does and delivers it with kindness to both the dogs and the humans at the other end of the leash. This allows for training to be fun and collaborative. I would recommend her to anyone.
