I have extensive experience in solving behavioral issues related to the grooming process. I have worked with many different breeds and temperaments during my career. I have helped many dogs overcome their fears in order to be more comfortable during the grooming process.

"Kenzie had an incredible impact on both my anxious and reactive dog, as well as on my understanding as a pet owner. She approached my dog's anxiety and reactivity issues with patience and empathy, providing a safe environment for the both of us.
Not only did she work tirelessly with him, but she also took the time to educate me on canine behavior and psychology. She was very understanding of the fact that I was easily overwhelmed by the struggles we were having and was able to give practical suggestions that we could practice daily.
Under her guidance, my dog was able to make progress and become much more confident. I recommend Kenzie to anyone facing similar challenges. Her commitment to improving the lives of dogs and their owners make her an exceptional choice."
"I won’t call Mackenzie a dog whisperer, she is more like a dog psychologist . I know dogs, I am the person my friends call for advice about their dogs. I always trained my own dogs and never needed to hire a trainer. All my dogs have been great. I recently got a large rescue dog who was exhibiting behaviors that were beyond me, I was heartbroken to think I might have to give her up when we were her 3rd owners and she was only a year old. She barked aggressively and snapped at anyone but my daughter and I, even other dogs and my husband. She would lunge at the cat and the chickens. She had matted fur and snapped at our groomer and could not be groomed.
We happened upon Mackenzie when we were leash training and she gently gave us some advice that helped us immensely so I hired her for help with the grooming. In a few sessions not only is my dog groomed (a huge improvement ) it is like I have a different dog, this dog is definitely in her forever home now and I can see she will be a great dog, too. We are working towards making her be less afraid of the groomer so it will not be an ordeal every time. This is much better than just getting her to tolerate one grooming, our goal is a dog that is unafraid of grooming and husbands.
One thing I love about Mackenzies style is that she doesn’t take the leash. It’s no help to you if your dog is only good for the trainer. She really helped me understand what was happening inside my dogs head so we could fix it. I hesitate to write such a glowing review only because I have no doubt Mackenzies new business will be so full that she might not be available to me for future needs."
Please contact me if you cannot find an answer to your question.
I have volunteered at an animal rescue helping all different types of dogs, cats, horses, etc. I am a certified Dog Groomer and Trainer. I have worked with many anxious, nervous, and even aggressive dogs. Throughout my career, I have helped many of these dogs to become more confident, calm, and comfortable.
Want a dog to go adventuring with? I got you covered. I specialize in helping owners have dogs they can take anywhere with them. I do this through a lot of impulse control training, loose leash walking, dog enrichment, and more. I have also helped reactive dogs to become calmer canine companions.
Or do you have a dog that's been kicked out of grooming salons? Or just a dog you can't even groom at home? I can help you desensitize your pet so that the grooming process isn't so scary for them.
I would love to meet you and your Canine Companion! The initial assessment is discounted to ensure we’re a good fit moving forward. Please send me an email or shoot me a text and I’ll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible Or you can book a session with me online. Thank you - Mackenzie Laxa
