Kazma Consulting

​

Welcome to Kazma Consulting, and congratulations on your new puppy! I'm here to support you on this exciting journey. Let’s start with a virtual consult to assess your needs. From there, we can decide the best path forward—whether it’s continuing with virtual sessions, finding a local trainer, or a combination of both!

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

With over 20 years of experience in the animal industry, I bring extensive knowledge in dog training and behavior. My diverse background has given me a deep understanding of canine body language, behavior patterns, and how to foster positive relationships between dogs and their owners. I pride myself on using humane, reward-based methods that focus on the overall well-being of each dog. Whether working with puppies or more seasoned dogs, my approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and a commitment to helping dogs and their families thrive together.

And More!

We will also cover manners, explore opportunities for future training classes, and discuss goals and aspirations for the puppy's development. Our conversations may lead to discussions about other helpful topics as well. If our session is beneficial and there's a desire to meet again, I offer additional sessions at an affordable rate.

Virtual with Me

Let’s keep the conversation going! Even after your pup starts in-person group classes, many clients enjoy keeping me “in their back pocket” for ongoing support. We can connect weekly or bi-weekly so I can teach new skills and help with any questions or concerns along the way.

My Clients Say

"Alexandra has been the best thing that could have happened to us when we got our 8 week old puppy. We managed to avoid so many mistakes thanks to her advice and she really helped us raise a happy puppy. Alexandra advised us on crate training, puppy proofing our house, ensuring our not-yet-vaccinated, super active puppy got enough socialization and exercise, teaching a few essential commands all the way to proper leash walking. We could not have done it without her. Whenever we are at a puppy social listening to other people struggling with leaving the house or sleeping through the night, we silently thank her."
