Customer Testimonials
“Kelly has trained two of my rescue dogs with the Fresh Start Train Smart e-collar program. I can now take both on hikes with me off-leash and they come when called every time. It’s opened up a new world for me and my dogs. I would highly recommend the Fresh Start Train Smart training system.”

“Kelly has been a part of our now 3 year old pups lives since they were 7 months. She knew exactly the need of the breed (Pointers) which consists of lots of activities, plenty of exercise, and good direction!! She knew we had no clue what we had gotten ourselves into with 2 pups from the same litter and was so patient as we navigated through her training sessions. She knew she had to train us more than she had to train our pups. We are grateful for her guidance and her love for our pups. We trust her wholeheartedly and board our pups with her when we travel. They love her!”

“Kelly did a great job with my puppy Remi. She was able to train him to respond to the e-collar which has helped tremendously. Pack training also helped my dog interact with others. Highly recommend!”

“Kelly does a great job with my dogs and they just love her. I have 2 blue healer siblings and she has been helping with training them. Thanks to Kelly they are well behaved puppies.”

“Kelly has trained 2 dogs for us, both Standard Poodles. A very important thing she does is “train the parents” we are glad to have this knowledge. She is an amazing trainer. We live on a very busy road with a sidewalk - lots of people & dogs walking by all day- Kelly trained both our dogs to stay in our yard without being on a leash. I have had many people walking by Say “ that is the best behaved dog I have ever seen!”

“I was ready to give up on our Jack Russell. I did everything I knew to do. I read books, watched training videos, I even contacted the breeder to find out if there were issues with other pups in this litter and if she had any ideas on how to control her behavior but our Daisy was uncontrollable. She was a runner, a fighter and in total control of us and our other pet. That is until we met Kelly Miller at Fresh Smart Train Smart She trained us as well as Daisy. And for the past 9 years, Daisy has been a delight and a loved member of our family. We also board her and our Doubledoodle with Kelly whenever we need to leave town. We highly recommended Kelly Miller and Fresh Start Train Smart.”

“We have had a great experience with Kelly and her training methods. Kelly has assisted us in training Cooper's recall, socializing him, and preparing him for dog daycare. We have had Cooper for just short of three months. When we first got him, he was extremely shy and timid around both people and dogs. Since getting him and beginning training, he has become more confident and come out of his shell. We would highly recommend Kelly's services, as she understands what each individual dog will require!”
— Adam Carlson
“I would highly recommend this training. I had a German Shepherd with a tough start to life and because of that, struggled with high anxiety. This training gave him the ability to live a happy and confident remainder of his life. I could do not recommend this enough. It is straight forward and easy to follow. Not only will it give your dog confidence but it will give you confidence as a dog owner for your current dog and all future dogs to come! Kelly knows her stuff!”
— Murphy Leinbach
“Kelly Miller has been nothing but fantastic! We have been bringing our pup, Cooper, to her for the past month and Cooper has already made so much progress in the little time he has spent training with Kelly, and training with us at home. Her and her team are honest, helpful, and go out of their way to make sure you and your dog understand the training methods that need to be used to train your pup. Need a trainer? Book with Fresh Start Train Smart!”
