Our puppy went through two “board and train” programs with Ashlyn at Kismet K9—once at 3 months and again at 7 months—and we were amazed by the remarkable transformation each time. The growth in our puppy’s confidence, independence, and overall behavior was truly impressive, especially since we previously had a dog who struggled with separation anxiety. Now, it’s a relief to see our new pup perfectly content when left alone. Working with Ashlyn was an absolute pleasure. She is responsive, professional, and reliable, and our dog adores her. Ashlyn treats every interaction as a chance to train, and her enthusiasm is simply contagious! We always felt reassured knowing our puppy was cared for with such genuine compassion and diligence. A special highlight for us was the abundance of photos and videos Ashlyn shared via Dropbox during the training sessions, allowing us to stay connected and witness our puppy’s progress even from afar. Even though being separated from our puppy for those months was tough, the incredible results made it completely worthwhile. Originally, we sought out Ashlyn’s program because we needed trustworthy care while traveling abroad. Choosing the board and train option proved to be an outstanding decision, benefiting both us and our newest family member immensely. I enthusiastically recommend Ashlyn to anyone wanting a well-adjusted, happy, and well-mannered dog!

I enrolled my rescue Penny Lane in Ashlyn's 4 week behavior modification board and train program after she developed some concerning behaviors. Ashlyn was knowledgeable, professional, caring, and easy to communicate with during the process. She treated Penny with nothing but love, and was tenderhearted and reassuring to me as an over-bearing dog mom. Penny returned to me with a new found confidence and a calm demeanor that helped strengthen our bond. Her intimate-style board and train setting was exactly what I had hoped for when researching different options. After the training, I was so thrilled with the experience, that I use Ashlyn for boarding whenever I go out of town and can't bring Penny along. Penny loves going there and gets so excited to see her each time. It is such a relief to have found such an amazing resource and someone I trust with Penny Lane.
