Eye to Eye Dog Training - Portsmouth, RI
With a passion for nurturing the bond between pets and their owners, I offer customized, private, in-home dog training and behavior services tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. Whether you're looking to establish basic skills or prepare for therapy dog certification, my approach is rooted in over 18 years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), I focus on enhancing the relationship between you and your furry friend by using clear, consistent cues and body language. Through positive reinforcement techniques, including praise, affection, and treats, I help you effectively communicate and achieve lasting results.
Specializing in addressing behavioral issues commonly found in dogs adopted from shelters and rescue organizations, I provide solutions to challenges such as leash reactivity, housebreaking, inappropriate greetings, and unreliable recall. As an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator (AKC CGC), I also ensure that your dog is set up for success in achieving important health and behavior milestones. My services are fully insured, and I hold a PetCPR+ Pet CPR Certification, ensuring the utmost safety and care for your beloved companion. I am dedicated to using humane and effective methods like clickers, front-clip harnesses, and martingale collars.
Convenience is key, and I offer mobile services to bring training directly to your home, making it easier for both you and your pet. My flexible cancellation policy and attention to individual needs ensure a stress-free experience. Ready to transform your dog's behavior and strengthen your bond? Book me through Petworks today!

I can’t say enough good things about Kim and Eye to Eye Dog Training! She was so patient with our new rescue Lab, River and with our family as well. After four 1-hr lessons (and lots of practice in-between) River made excellent progress with skills such as: Leave it, Wait, Down, Come, Watch and Touch. Kim helped us understand how River thinks and processes commands which allowed us reinforce her good behavior in a more effective way. We are building on these foundational skills every day with continued practice and Kim continues to be a resource for questions about training. I have no hesitation in highly recommending her
- Janie MWe recently adopted a 7 month old puppy. She is a great puppy but she is very afraid of noises and small spaces. We had no idea how to help her so after numerous recommendations we called Kim. We could not have called a better person to help our dog. Kim is fantastic! After the first lesson we learned great techniques to help her overcome her fears. We practiced with our dog during the week and by the second lesson with Kim our dog was so much better. We had Kim come for three lessons and the change in our puppy is amazing! Kim is kind and gentle, she is great with our dog and has taught us invaluable lessons that have changed our puppy for the better. I can’t thank or recommend Kim enough.
