I found Karishma after a friend referred me to her and what a blessing she has been! I have a tiny anxious Chihuahua who is not yet a year old and she is scared of everything: leash and harness, walking with a leash and a harness, strangers, elevators, dog carriers. I was going to travel with her overseas and I wanted to make sure that she would be as calm as possible. Karishma was amazing, she bonded with Kiki right away and helped me get Kiki used to her carrier for our big trip. Karishma goes above and beyond, giving detailed notes at the end of every session and also video! Seeing my puppy as she works with her is priceless. I was so happy with Kiki's progress that I booked day training sessions for her. Karishma would come to my apartment and train with Kiki twice a week to get her used to the elevator and eventually, head outside and face the world with her leash and her harness. While COVID-19 interrupted the day sessions right before Kiki could go outside, she has fully overcome her fear of elevators, something I never thought possible! Now I have to carry her out of the elevator every time because she wants to go inside and stay there. We also attended the playground to further socialize Kiki, and it's so nice to have a supervised playground that allows puppies beyond 4 months old, and that also sorts puppies by size and temperament. She made so many friends that it warmed my heart. If you are looking for a wonderful, dedicated, patient and kind trainer with an amazing team behind her, look no further than Karishma and Calm Canine Academy.
