Lindsay’s Client Reviews

“Very organized, well thought out curriculum, working with each dog based on their personality, experience, temperament and confidence level learning nosework. Primary concern is for the dog and handler to have a good experience! Great class! No complaints!” -Kelly T. and their Labrador/Alaskan Husky mix, Nomi, reviewing their K9 Scent Work Foundations class with Lindsay Kinney

“Great introduction to several different types of dog sports. Fun way to spend time with my dog and try out different sport activities together! This is a class I would take multiple times as a fun way to spend 1:1 time with my dogs!” -Kelly T. and their Golden Retriever, Ruby, reviewing their Dog Sport Foundations class with Lindsay Kinney

“I appreciated Lindsay’s ability to help us through the skills in a methodical way– she was clear and direct while also being approachable and open to questions or further discussion of an issue. We sought out Paws Abilities after a very difficult experience of dog training with a one-on-one trainer whose strategy involved facing “triggers” and setting limits firmly with the leash and voice while both me and my dog were flooded with the adrenaline of a stressful situation. I appreciated the much slower pace with attention to cues from my dog that at first seemed subtle but are now very clear signs of concern and stress. We left with the resources to increase our dog’s experience of calm, minimize the impact of unavoidable stressful situations, and continue working on counter-conditioning.” -Julian E. and their Collie/Pit Bull mix Charlie, reviewing their Beginning Reactive Dog Rehab class with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay is patient positive and always has good ideas” -Alex M. and their Bernese Mountain Dog Tobie, reviewing their Rally Obedience Foundations class with Lindsay Kinney

“There were clear demos and exercises – made them fun and easy – understood the beginning steps and what the end would eventually be look like; made sure my dog was comfortable and confident and gauged changes based on watching us – so important to me!” – Heidi H. and their Miniature Pinscher/Beagle cross Birdee, reviewing their Heeling, Fronts, and Finishes class with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay has a way of communicating a lot of information and demonstrating things clearly so that I walk away feeling like I learned a lot and had a great time!” Alex M. with Bernese Mountain Dog Tobie, reviewing their Rally Obedience Class with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay was very helpful and informative. She provided clear instructions, including targeted exercises to practice with our dog during the week. Lindsay provided useful initialized, corrective feedback. Her instruction was effective and she kept us accountable, which was helpful in a beginning obedience class! I would highly recommend beginning obedience and Paws Abilities!” – Lauren with Rusty reviewing their Beginning Obedience class with Lindsay Kinney

“Due to a bad experience at another dog training facility, Cheyenne and I only attended two of the four classes; she was apprehensive, nervous, uncomfortable with the exercises. At Paws Abilities, Cheyenne walked into the building head held high, confident, eager to train. We then attended the Reactive Dog Scent Work class, also taught by Lindsay Kinney. Cheyenne’s confidence level had increased – she basically ran into the building and “cubbie”, tail wagging, eager to train! Cheyenne and I look forward to attending another class in the future” – Laura L. with German Shepherd Dog Cheyenne, reviewing their Reactive Dog Rehab class with Lindsay Kinney.

She gave real time feedback on how to improve and walked us through tricks when we were stuck.” – Elizabeth P. with Irish Setter cross Indy, reviewing their Fun Tricks class with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay was very laid back and informative. She navigated the class well and was very attentive to each student, making adjustments when necessary.” – Allison L. with American Pit Bull Terrier/American Bulldog cross Ahsoka, reviewing their Canine Good Citizen Prep Course with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay thinks outside the box. I like how we spend time getting to know what our dog likes first so that we can figure out what kinds of games they might like best and will be more engaged with. I liked the exercise where we try different treat delivery methods a lot. It tells you a lot about what’s engaging and fun for them. Bizza says this is the best class ever!” – Heather P. with Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross Biz, reviewing their Boredom Busters with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay went above and beyond helping my kids learn to help train our dog!” – Elizabeth P. with Border Collie Hiro, reviewing their Adolescent Manners Solo Tutoring Session with Lindsay Kinney

“The real world examples were great! Also, different ways to train. Not every dog will get the same thing, so a few different ways to try it was awesome! I am so happy with the class and will be doing more. Also, recommending to friends and family. Thank you!” – Madeline S. with mixed breed Moose, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class with Lindsay Kinney

“Both Lindsay and Rei were incredibly patient with Penny’s excitability. I never felt embarrassed by her reactiveness (she REALLY loves people).” – Tiffany A. with Bedlington Terrier cross Penny, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class with Lindsay Kinney and Reiichi Hanson

I love the engagement.” – Andrew S. and Kenna W. with Boxer/German Shepherd cross Duke, reviewing their Nailed It: Nail Trims and Scratch Boards with Lindsay Kinney

“I really like the small class size for the reactive class, it had a good balance of talk vs “play” for me and my dog. Online orientation is great (vs in-person)” – Anitra F. with her Border Collie Fernando, reviewing their Beginning Reactive Dog Rehab class with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay did a great job at looking at my dog as an individual as well as factoring in my level of training experience to adjust our plans in level 2 for him and try different things to see what worked best.” – Anitra F. with Fernando reviewing their Advanced Reactive Dog Rehab class with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay was a wonderful and knowledgeable trainer. She really knows what she’s doing and handled my jumpy pup beautifully. Provided useful techniques and reassurance. I love the 30-minute intensive solo training sessions. Offer more!” – Nancy B. and their dog, Ruthie, reviewing their multiple Solo Tutoring Sessions with Lindsay Kinney

“Overall, Lindsay is a phenomenal trainer. We saw so much growth in our 8-month-old goldendoodle over the course of Intermediate Obedience. Looking forward to taking more classes!” – Tyler U. and their Goldendoodle Millie, reviewing their Intermediate Obedience class with Lindsay Kinney

“I’d not done a live online dog class previously – but was impressed with how smoothly things went. Emma and I really enjoyed the Rock Paper Scissors [Get a Cue] class! We felt like we’d been to a dog class even though we took the class from home! It was a fun hour-long “outing” for us!” – Sara B. and their Labrador Retriever mix, Emma, reviewing their Get a Cue Pajama Party class with Lindsay Kinney

“I think Lindsay did a great job with the class – working within where both dogs were at. We also had some nice differing levels of distraction each week – and we slowly built more complexity with each week. We ended up with some great training prompts out of class – were able to identify specific things we need to work on. We’d not done an in-person class- so having her coaching on handling was also helpful. We would do the class again.

I learned a ton and have new things to work on with Miss Emma. She had a great time and improved A LOT through the class. Emma also really likes Lindsay!

We’re sort of stuck outdoors right now with our household covid risk factor, but would do the traveling scent work class again/rally run throughs when that is feasible again.

Fun class. We had a great time! Nice to get back into doing something fun after our Covid hiatus!” – Sara B. and their dog Emma, reviewing their Traveling Scent Work class with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay was AMAZING! The class helped [my dog] build confidence!! I loved that Lindsay knew my name as well as my pup’s by the second week. Love the little ‘great job!’ and words of encouragement through out the class. Loved the pace of class, it kept the dogs engaged. I’ve told so many people about this place!” – Jesse L. and their Rat Terrier, Fizzy, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class with Lindsay Kinney

“The challenges were interesting and varied each week! They were also scale-able for different dog abilities, which I appreciated having two very different dogs in class.” – Sara R. with her Beagle cross Trout and Jack Russell cross Pan, reviewing their K9 Scent Work class with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay’s great and I will likely keep an eye out for more of her classes… I wish there were a Level 3 Rally Obedience class!” – Stephanie J. and their Australian Cattle Dog mix, Kya, reviewing their Rally Obedience II class with Lindsay Kinney

“Gave me real life skills that make my sweet pup a happier dog – thank you. Thank you for the creative ways you are offering classes.” – Tami E. reviewing their Breaking Up the Bark Brigade pajama party class with Lindsay Kinney

“Lots of different tips and tricks that I’m able to easily do at home, and in a specific process to follow which is super helpful.” – Araliya S. reviewing their Breaking Up the Bark Brigade pajama party class with Lindsay Kinney

“My instructor was excellent! There was a lot of good advice on how to train a dog not to surf with specific tips for our home environment too with multiple dogs. It was really fun and informative too! Lindsay rocks!” – Patti A. reviewing their Counter Surfing USA pajama party with Lindsay Kinney

“There is no mistaking that she was very knowledgeable, very engaging, and very helpful. The webinar was user friendly and I liked the fact that we could communicate via chat in real time. The length of each webinar was good.” – Sara L. reviewing the Dog Introductions seminar with Lindsay Kinney

“The protocol was laid out in logical steps. Real life examples and experiences helped to understand the process.” – Julie H. reviewing the Dog Introductions seminar with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay was a knowledgeable instructor and engaging. The mini classes are a great idea. These single topics lend themselves to a virtual format. You have made lemonade out of the lemons we have all been dealt. How about virtual competitions?” – Nora R. reviewing the Breaking Up the Bark Brigade pajama party with Lindsay Kinney

“Good mix of education and fun. Kept the kids on track even in the virtual setting!” – Rendina M. reviewing their Recess! Virtual Camp for Kids and Canines pajama party class with Lindsay Kinney

“Class was such a fun ‘date night’ for my dog and me! The pace was just right, and the instruction and skills were tailored for each individual so that we were all working at an appropriate level for our experience. The variety of tricks were fun and interesting. 10/10, would take again!” – Sara R. and her terrier mix, Pantalaimon, reviewing their Fun Tricks class with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay and Tish offered well-thought tips and suggestions. They have a great understanding of how to break training down into tiny pieces. The class had energy and was fun, in addition to being helpful. I always enjoy Paws Abilities classes and seminars!” – Maureen K. and her Labrador Retriever, Ember, reviewing their Canine Good Citizen Prep Course with Lindsay Kinney & Tish Hennigan

“The trainers were very patient and understanding, especially since I often had my children with me. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate having a family friendly training option. Thank you, I appreciate you and your work.” – Elizabeth P. and her Border Collie, Hiro, reviewing their Reactive Dog Sports Sampler class with Lindsay Kinney and Jenna Kaliszewski

“Bizzy loved class! Her confidence and focus improved week-to-week. We had a blast.” – Sara R. and her Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix, Iskierka, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class with Lindsay Kinney & Brittany Ceroni

“This class was so much fun for my dog and me, containing engaging activities and enlightening information about canine senses. Lindsay has a wealth of knowledge about this subject and was also ready to jump in with training suggestions (always welcome and helpful!). My dog really enjoyed each class, especially taste, which was saved for the last class like the delicious cherry on top! I am really interested in taking a Rally class with Lindsay at a later date. I am signed up to take Patti Andersons T-Touch class and the READ workshop. The neurobics class was extremely prep intensive! I’m a former primary teacher, and it was obvious to me how much preparation was involved in every class. Tish was invaluable to Lindsay in getting everything set up and keeping things moving smoothly. Lindsay had to shop for things (especially for the taste class) as well as set up activities, and it was clear she spent lots of time getting ready for every class. We got optimum attention! I loved the materials which were shared by email. I have a folder on my desktop dedicated to neurobics! This was a fabulous experience for us! Thank you Lindsay and Tish.”  – Mary M. with her Golden Retriever, Klooney, reviewing Canine Neurobics with Lindsay K. and Tish

I always enjoy Paws Abilities classes and seminars!” – Maureen K. and her Labrador Retriever, Ember, reviewing their Canine Good Citizen Prep Course with Lindsay Kinney & Tish Hennigan

“I was very pleased, learned a lot and had fun. Henry thought it was the best thing ever. I like that there’s a wide variety of classes to choose from, with locations all over the Twin Cities. Also, if Lindsay Kinney is any indication of the quality of the rest of the instructors, I would say excellent. It is important to me to have positive reinforcement in training, rather than the old style of negative reinforcement.” – Karen H. and her Border Collie/Golden mix, Henry, reviewing their Intro to Dog Sports class with Lindsay Kinney

“I’ve been to other places [for training], and think Paws Abilities fits me above all the others. The trainers were very helpful. I feel you care for our pups and us. Thank you.” – Colleen O. with her Boston Terrier mix, Bruce, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class with Carrie Davis & Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay was very well prepared and had in-depth knowledge of the subject. I appreciated that she shared her personal experience with her own dog, Rosie. She was friendly and the attendees felt comfortable to ask questions.
Great speaker, great topic. The length of this (1.5 hours) was just right and nice price. I’m looking forward to learning more from you!” – Lisa S. reviewing the Happy Husbandry seminar with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay is very knowledgeable and she keeps class fun with her sense of humor.” – Tiffany B. with her Lab/Cattle Dog mix, Fred, reviewing Intermediate Obedience with Lindsay

“I loved how nicely you split the basic behaviors (heel, front, positions) down into little teeny slices, with an emphasis on the dog’s comfort level. The courses were fun to practice, and the feedback that you gave was spot-on. The class flowed nicely from one exercise to another with enough time to practice in between each new piece.
The class emails were very helpful when I practiced with my puppy in between classes. I also really appreciated the accommodations for my wheelchair and different ability levels from week-to-week.” – Sara R. with her Terrier mix, Iskierka, reviewing their Rally Obedience Foundations class with Lindsay Kinney

“How do I explain it? Always encouraging and positive with the way they help train us and the dogs. Had a nice way of helping us achieve our goals. If we weren’t doing something right or having a hard time with a technique, [they were] always positive on helping/coaching us through it, so we would get it and be motivated to keep working on it. Really appreciate both of the ladies.” – Nancy K. and her Australian Shepherd, Sophie, reviewing their Beginning Focus & Control lessons with Katie Kelly and Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay is very helpful!” – Sue K. with her Bernese/Poodle mix, Rugby, reviewing Canine Good Citizen Prep with Lindsay Kinney

“Excellent speakers with a lot of good information and experiences to share! Very engaging! Thank you so much for providing this seminar! I truly did enjoy the day and look forward to attending additional classes with my dog(s) in the future.” – Kelly K. reviewing the So You Want to Be a Dog Trainer workshop with Lindsay Kinney and Sara Reusche

“I just love Paws Abilities Dog Training. All the trainers I have met are great. Very fun and helpful. Thank you for offering these classes. We have been to two other training places – too many dogs and hard to learn or hear what the trainers are saying. I feel you know what we need to help us train our fur babies well.” – Colleen O. with her Boston Terrier, Bruce, reviewing Beginning Obedience with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay has always been amazing with Lolah. I have now been with Paws Abilities for a year and Lindsay has been one of the main reasons!” -Leah G. with her Tibetan Terrier, Lolah, reviewing Fun Tricks with Lindsay Kinney

“Lindsay is a great trainer to say the least. I had a lot to work through and learn with Josie’s leash pulling and distractions. Lindsay gave such great insight and advice that Josie is enjoying many long walks already. [Josie]’s also “checking in” with me regularly anywhere we are, helping to keep her focused. The training comes with an exceptional level of knowledge and capability to share and explain. We have two dogs now that are much happier and healthier due to the structure of the class. I have been very pleased with my experiences and look forward to more classes for both dogs. I have been mentioning Paws Abilities to many of my patients and friends with high recommendation.” Jenny S. and her Coonhound, Josie, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class with Lindsay Kinney

“The instructor kept to the subjects to cover and managed class time well. Ground rules were always well-explained ahead of time. Material was presented at an appropriate level, although she obviously knew a lot more than she was explaining. Attention was paid to keeping the dogs comfortable and maintaining a great learning environment for all.” – Becky H. and her dog, Razzie, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class with Lindsay Kinney

“Fun class – great instructors. I really enjoyed building on the strategic heeling trick through the class – slowly putting the pieces together.” – Sara B. and her Labrador Retriever mix, Emma, reviewing their Advanced Tricks class with Lindsay Kinney and Carrie Davis

“My trainers were Lindsay and Carrie, two of the best trainers out there. It was a sure thing that I was going to learn something and come out of the course with better skills.” – Terry K. and his Australian Cattle Dog, Forrest, reviewing their Advanced Tricks class with Lindsay Kinney and Carrie Davis

“We were very pleased with the structure of the class and knowledge that backed the training. We have had success with Winnie’s training. We were very satisfied with Lindsay. She answered a lot of questions beyond what we were working on in class that was very helpful to our home. Great trainer. Structure of class makes for success with training. A lot of value for cost of class. Genuine interest in the dogs, how well they are doing, and how they will function throughout their lives. The humans feel they are set up to succeed.” – Jennifer S. and her German Shepherd Dog mix, Winnie, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class with Lindsay Kinney

“My dog loves Megan and Lindsay. The class is great and very flexible!” – Roberta J. and her Golden Retriever, Bjorn, reviewing their Beginning Reactive Dog Rehab lessons with Lindsay Kinney and Megan Janning

“It was fun and much more relaxed than the typical classroom setting. I enjoyed being able to talk to the instructor one-on-one and really learned a lot. And my dog loves being outdoors and all the smells it offers. It was good for him to get exposed to new experiences like sand, slides (no go), swings (yes!) and waves (YIKES!)” – Jerry V. and her Coton De Tulear, Prince Tomi Feather, reviewing their Outdoor Adventures class with Lindsay

“This is a great class. We are taking this for the second time. We learn new things each week. We also review lessons and can ask a lot of questions. Megan and Lindsay are such knowledgeable trainers. Björn loves Megan and Lindsay!” – Roberta & Mark Johnson and their Golden Retriever, Björn, reviewing their Beginning Reactive Dog Rehab lessons with Lindsay Kinney and Megan Janning

“I left feeling like my dog and I were a team. Before then, I was not sure if I could handle her as she gets bigger. What a difference! You taught me how to handle my dog in a way that she understands. You were sincere and truthful so that I could make wise decisions about caring responsibly for my German Shepherd. I feel so good about working with my dog. I enjoy her so much more now.” – Charisa H. and her German Shepherd, Destiny, reviewing their Beginning Obedience class with Lindsay Kinney

“I learned a lot about animal behavior including why dogs behave the way they do in certain situations. Our morning routine has improved (with the addition of the mat) and so has walking on the leash” – Yvonne L. and her Cavalier King Charles, Izzy, reviewing their Beginning Obedience lessons with Lindsay Kinney

“Our trainers gave a lot of good advice on several different strategies, but also work with the individual dogs to find what worked best for each one. The environment they created was a comfortable and fun one in which to learn. We have loved every trainer we’ve gotten to work with and really appreciate all the time, energy, love, and support they provide for us and our dog” – Olivia O. and her American Bulldog mix, Luffy, reviewing their Leash Pullers Anonymous lessons with Lindsay Kinney and Terry Kennedy-Lares

“Great job making sure puppies were playing at a comfortable level for the individual pup!” – Dawn F. and her Corgi, Nyx, reviewing Puppy Class with Lindsay Kinney and Terry Kennedy-Lares

“Lindsay was great! She is very knowledgeable and was great about giving advice throughout the course. She also answered all of my many questions. She is such a sweetheart!” – Leah G. and her Tibetan Terrier, Lolah, reviewing Puppy Class with Lindsay Kinney

“This class was everything I hoped for. Taught me a handful of new skills and confirmed that was doing other things I already knew correctly and Laura Lindsay were very knowledgeable. Thank you for giving me more confidence working with my reactive dog. While I have some more work to do things are already better. You were easy to talk to, good atmosphere, good explanations.” – Carey H. and her Cattle Dog/Husky cross Ava, reviewing their Beginning Reactive Dog Rehab class with Laura McKinney and Lindsay Kinney

Pantalaimon

“Pan and I had so much fun! This was the perfect class to take our skills on the road. I learned a lot about him and we continued to build our connection in more distracting environments. His all-time favorite week was frisbee golfing, but I think there were parts about each week of class that he really loved. You kept the class moving while still allowing time for play and exploration in the unique environments, which is a difficult balancing act. I was incredibly impressed with each and every location you chose, and it was clear that you put a lot of effort into researching interesting, safe, dog-friendly environments.” – Sara R. and her Jack Russell cross Pantalaimon, reviewing their Outdoor Adventures class with Lindsay Kinney

“Carrie and Lindsay were knowledgeable about dogs AND people training. I liked that they stayed low key and didn’t amp up our fears and trepidations of owning a reactive dog. We have had some training with our dog in the past and there were a lot of similarities, but the big difference was not to work too fast for the dog. Take more baby steps. We are going to continue to use the tools that we were taught and see how our dog does. She’s better already from the classes we took from you. The trainers were very welcoming, helpful, respectful, and knowledgeable.” -Kim and Jerome F. and their Bulldog Ruby, reviewing their Beginning Reactive Dog Rehab class with Carrie D. & Lindsay

Odin

“So much fun taking another class with Odin. I learned so much and Lindsay was awesome! You guys are just all around awesome. I’m always recommending people to you if they want more classes.” -Margit L and her Bernese Mountain Dog Odin, reviewing their Fun Tricks class with Lindsay

“Very friendly and helpful staff 🙂 I will definitely be taking another class. Lindsay was great and Terry was awesome!!” – Chelsea A. and her Pomeranian, Mookie reviewing their Beginning Obedience Lessons with Lindsay and Terry

“Carrie and Lindsay were both professional and also personable. They made sure to provide information to the class, while also personalizing the training to the individual. They were well prepared and worked well as a team. I was also thankful for the kindness they showed to me, my mother, and Koda. It was very much appreciated.” -Katie K. and her Golden Retriever Koda, reviewing their Beginning Focus & Control class with Carrie D. & Lindsay

Nala

“Having music during class made it a really fun atmosphere! It was never overpowering, but just kept you grooving the whole class period. 90 minutes for class is a long time, and sometimes I fade by the end of class. But the music kept everything fun and everyone was engaged the whole time. Lindsay and Carrie are a great team!! They both had great insights.

“This is at least the second time we’ve taken Focus & Control and it was fun each time. I feel like we learned something during every class, and it really didn’t feel like we were repeating tons of things that we’ve done before. Sure, we knew some of the exercises because we’ve done them before, but Carrie and Lindsay are great at pointing out ways to take your dog to the next level with the exercise and make it harder for them so that they continue to be challenged.” – Rachel M. and her Pit Bull, Nala, reviewing their Beginning Focus & Control class with Carrie D. & Lindsay

“Able to help with individual dogs’ problems. So caring and understanding. You don’t feel alone knowing your dog NEEDS TRAINING! My dog is in love with Megan.” – Roberta J. and her Golden Retriever, Bjorn reviewing their Focus and Control Course with Lindsay and Megan
