We used Karen and New Beginnings when we got our first dog 11 years ago. He had numerous behavior problems and she helped us understand what he was going through. With consistent training and support for both us and our dog, he is still happily with us today.
So when we found ourselves unexpectedly with another puppy, Karen was the first person I called for help with training. Her patience and support have been above and beyond, always. Whatever type of situation you find yourself in with your dog, from normal puppy training and socialization to anything more difficult, Karen is able to help. She loves our dogs as much as we do and wants our success.

Karen is very knowledgable. Her methods work! She is patient with me and my dog. 😊
Addendum March 2018: What a change in my dog. She is calmer, eating well, mostly house broken, and fun! She now loves her crate where before she was terrified of it. And she is learning to use the treadmill! How about that?! I admit the training is as much for me as it is for the dog. (Ha!) Karen has been so wonderful to work with. I highly recommend her.

New Beginnings and Karen have been wonderful! I love that they love my pup as much as me AND I love that they encourage good behavior too! I feel fully confident and relaxed when she's there and know she's getting the exercise and socialization that she needs. I love that they treat each dog with individual love and care. This is clearly so much more than a business- its a calling. I am so very sad that they had to close. My pup will miss them immensely and so will we. I look forward to see what the next generation NBK9 is. With Karen at the helm, I'm certain that it will be ground breaking and dog-wonderful!

When we got our lab puppy, we thought we could handle the training on our own, but soon we realized we needed help. Thankfully we found New Beginnings. We were just looking for training, but now Willow is in daycare twice a week and has boarded when we can't take her with us. She loves Karen and all the amazing people that take care of her. She is thriving in training and so are we. We went through an intense training with our last lab and I knew I wanted a different approach. This is more than positive reinforcement, Karen shows you how the dogs think and how to read their body language. She has given me the confidence that I need to make Willow a better and happier dog.

Being a new dog owner as of last fall, we were fortunate to find such a great dog care facility. New Beginnings has been a much needed source of guidance and confidence with allowing us to raise a well-behaved yorkie. As a puppy, our dog, Scout, had ringworm and was unable to attain social skills that majority of other dogs had already gathered by that time. In taking our pup to New Beginnings, he was able to slowly get acclimated to the normal sociability of his age. New Beginnings has truly made a difference in our pup's life and has been a tremendous blessing to our entire family. We don't know what we we do without doggy daycare and boarding! Our dog loves all the playtime with his pup friends, and we know he is safe and well taken care of at New Beginnings.
