Hi, I'm Kim

Companion dog trainers are not equipped to address the unique needs of working Livestock Guardian Dogs who live with livestock 24/7.

Trainers specializing in working LGDs are extremely rare and the only ones I know of believe that “Livestock Guardian Dogs shouldn’t be kept as pets.” If a trainer doesn’t believe you should OWN your companion LGD they can’t or won’t help you and your dog.

As a Maremma breeder, trainer, Licenced Family Dog Mediator (Breeder Division) and owner of both working and companion Maremmas, I am here to support ALL Livestock Guardian Dog owners. (Because a companion LGD is still an LGD!) And yes, Maremmas and other LGD breeds can make wonderful and happy pets!

Whether you have a working LGD or a companion, or a dog that is a bit of both, I understand their distinct needs and can provide tailored advice. Whether you bought your dog from a breeder or adopted them from a rescue or shelter I am here to help.
