Hi, I’m Kim Capria

I started working with dogs back in 2012 when I adopted a dog from a rescue name Timmy. Unfortunately, Timmy revealed himself to be human aggressive and caused me to seek out a dog trainer. When I met someone who was able to help me, I absolutely loved everything I learned about training. From there, I embarked on a path that led me all the way to San Francisco, where I have helped over 300 dogs learn to live a better life in a dense, urban environment.

I began my own business in the fall of 2020 and started boarding and training dogs in my home in downtown Phoenix. Shortly after, an opportunity came up to move to San Francisco, and I took it!

In the last 4 years working in San Francisco, I have developed a unique skillset of helping dogs in a dense, urban environment. The majority of my cases have been behavior modification, working with dogs that struggle with reactivity, resource guarding, anxiety, over-arousal, and overall issues listening and learning in a place with so much distraction.

I regularly attend seminars and work-shops to continue my education as a dog trainer. I believe that we are always learning, especially in this field. My approach is catered to what the dogs needs. Every dog deserves a fair chance and I believe that a modern day dog training approach with a focus on building relationship and handling skills are key for the success of each dog and owner.

I am passionate, considerate, honest, fair, and experienced. I will do what the DOG needs. My commitment is to the dog, always.

When I am not training dogs you can find me writing songs and playing music around the city, studying stenography, or taking photos. I believe that my creative approach to life has allowed me to connect with dogs and people in a way that leads to the success of my clients. I have the skills to solve the unique problems that pop up in San Francisco, and I absolutely love what I do!
