  • Client Testimonials

    My two dogs absolutely love Kennedy! She approaches everything with patience and enthusiasm, and she is super encouraging and knowledgeable. I reach out to Kennedy because my dogs were reactive and quite anxious, and I’ve seen huge strides in their behavior. My dogs are becoming more confident and trusting and we’re looking forward to more progress with Kennedy!

  • Client Testimonials

    Kennedy has been and continues to be an excellent trainer for our rescue. She believes in positive reinforcement training and gets the best out of our smart pup. She has helped us resolve many issues that we never thought of and all were successful. Thanks to Kennedy, our pup gets a lot of toys and comforts that we would not have thought of and our dog is quite happy. We highly recommend Kennedy.

  • Client Testimonials

    Kennedy is amazing! We initially booked with her in hopes that she could help our dog Walter with puppy manners and positive interactions with our other dog, but we got so much more. She put so much thoughtfulness and care into our sessions, researching his neurological condition ahead of time and giving tailored guidance to not only reach our training goals but also support his neuro needs. After only a few sessions, we were able to implement strategies right away that led to improved interactions between Walter and our other dog. They now play + cuddle on a daily basis while and truly seem to enjoy being around one another (despite their vastly differing personalities and needs). I recommend Kennedy/RooDog to anyone who is looking for dog training in the area!

  • Client Testimonials

    Working with Kennedy is a true blessing. She is a comprehensive dog trainer who immediately understood what our super sweet but high energy & spirted pup needed and was able to teach us the best tools to set up our family for success. Kennedy is patient, insightful, fun and knows how best to guide training your pup AND you as the owners. I love her approach with positive reinforcement and building a strong relationship.
    Kennedy is an amazing resource and someone we trust our baby with 100%!

    -Clarissa & Ellie

Every dog deserves to be understood.
