Kindred Souls Canine Training Center

We rescued Winnie in May 2022 from a bad situation of backyard breeding and neglect. She was left outside and not given the proper care she needed (physical or mental). She had food, water, and a shed outside … but no quality of life. She did not know what it was like to be loved or to be safe. At barely 2 years old she was surrendered, we worked with the rescue to get her out of the situation, and we adopted her (very aware of the baggage she would come with). She quickly bonded to us but everything was a trigger for her. When someone walked in the room she ran and hid in her crate. When seeing a stranger or hearing a sudden sound when on a walk, she would pull so hard in the opposite direction. If you said “come” she would run in the opposite direction with her tail between her legs. He

I’d first like to start off by thanking Peter. My dog Chase just graduated from his obedience 1 class after completing puppy kindergarten. Peter’s professionalism and knowledge taught me to be a better owner with the skills to have a successful life with Chase. This is the second dog to complete Peter’s training class and I am more impressed every time. I will continue to recommend Kindred Souls, Peter and his staff to anyone who would like to make their relationship with their pet the best it can be! I look forward to the tricks class Chase will be enrolled in as well as Therapy Training to follow! Thank you Peter!

Trainer Pete is very informative and great with all the dogs in class ( all different sizes and breeds) He gives homework to support classes and is available 24/7 for questions and issues. A few weeks ago, Madden wouldn't have sat for this photo. Now look!!

Pete - We want to thank you so much for providing us with a wealth of information for training our Maltipoo, Ellie. We learned a lot about her (especially how smart she is ) and all because of YOU. You are a professional and an extremely well-qualified dog trainer. It is clear you are among the best! We feel privileged to have been a part of your training! Pat & Bill

Our story starts out a little different. While looking for the perfect second dog to bring in to our family, we came across Spencer, who was not perfect. His story was, in a shelter, adopted by the wrong owner, who tried to get him training at Kindred Souls, but after a few weeks he was going to be returned to the shelter. Pete asked the owner to give him a few days. He saw something special in Spencer. He called Rescue Ridge and they took him in. Pete offered Free training to whoever adopted Spencer. He felt that strongly that Spencer was a good dog, that with the proper owner would succeed in becoming a wonderful pet. Spencer did not respond well to the kennels. A foster was found for him and that's where we met him. He was adorable, but very active, very excitable, almost no training, 5
