I’m Kimberly Freeman

Kimberly Marie Freeman, has over 18 years extensive experience and know how having worked with, and studied dogs in London, Dundee and New York City. 

While in Dundee, Scotland, Kimberly owned and operated the largest dog walking, pet sitting, and behavioral center on the East Coast of Scotland which became the catalyst for the rest of her canine based career.

Over the years, with the support of her 4-legged friends, Folly, Jester, Broadway, Vaudeville and Garbo, Kimberly has honed her skills and developed her reputation as a Trainer and Motivator.

Having worked directly with Andrea Arden, Ian Dunbar and participated in Karen Pryor workshops- yup, she can clicker train a chicken, Kimberly has also completed courses and workshops in TTouch, Advanced Canine Nutrition, Animal Husbandry, Canine First Aid, Zoonotic Diseases, Clicker Training, Agility, Service Dog Training, Gun Dog Training, Aggression, Rescue Rehabilitation (to name but a few), with experts such as Ian Dunbar, Karen Pryor, Sarah Whitehead, Victoria Stilwell.

Kimberly brings unique skills to her chosen field, with particular emphasis on a dogs life. She is an animal behaviour and nutrition expert with a special interest in rescue and rehabilitation of animals and has followed programs at the world renowned Animal Care College.

All is not work, however. Kimberly enjoys the fun of training your dog to be a fly ball whizz, pose for pictures or tv work, and is also known for gun dog training, her work with Search and Rescue teams, for agility training and for introducing suitable dogs into the service world while also offering training to sharpen the skills of animals already in service.

In her non dog hours (although they are few), Kimberly is often seen performing on stage or screen, guest speaking, taking the dogs on campervan adventures, and having random trips around the World.

“We definitely lucked out finding Jane. She has an incredibly deep understanding of dog psychology and is extremely good at adapting her advice to the particular needs of you and your dog. With her help in just a couple of weeks we went from a pup who was scared to leave the house to a pup that is sitting ready and waiting by the front door in the morning and happily commuting with me to work.”
