Salty Pack

Salty pack is the best in the business! I contacted Kristen during my puppies teenager phase where I wasn’t coping and was at my breaking point with our training. Here comes Kristen the life saver to tell me it’s going to be okay, she’s not only an incredible dog trainer but an incredibly kind, compassionate, fun person and both myself and my dog are beyond grateful for her and her team! Willow has come such a long way since our first session, Kristen has given both me and my dog the confidence we need to go out into the big wide world and tackle any challenges we see10/10 would recommend!

Kristen has been doing Walk and Trains for over a month now and we couldn't be happier. She picks my Lily up from home while I'm at work in the middle of the day and takes her for what is in effect a private training lesson. They practise loose-lead walking and do obedience and tricks as well. Kristen has clearly done a lot of dog-training and is very knowledgeable about all things dog! She also sends lots of photos and videos of what she's doing with Lily while talking about it. She also sends a text summing up the session. Not only do I get to see what they're doing, but I learn a lot from Kristen as well. And she has so much energy, which my Border Collie loves! I trust Kristen absolutely and can't recommend her highly enough. Nor can Lily!

Kristen has been such a wonderful help with our German Shepherd! Even after 3 weeks we've noticed such a huge difference in his lead walking and general behaviour around home.

Best experience for both of my pups and myself!!Great communication on how my boys are performing. And the improvements are real!!!I have 2 happy dogs and I am a much happier dog mum.100% recommend!!

We were referred to Salty Pack from one of the trainers at Ultimate K9. So far, Kristen has been amazing, We had the initial at home assessment and we already learned so much! Kristen is also very easy to communicate with and accomodating around scheduling! Highly reccommend. We have purchased the 5 pack of Walk and Train sessions for our doggo, and I have a feeling she will be a changed dog after that!

I was fortunate to have the services of Salty Pack to train my Border Collie Indie for a few months whilst living on the Sunshine Coast . I was having difficulty with Indie pulling on her lead , she was about 18 months old and very energetic. Kristen was great in sharing her knowledge about Border Collies with me which helped with my expectations of Indie. Kristen was so gentle and patient with Indie and had great success in training her to not pull on the lead as well as being a beautiful café companion. Indie loved her training sessions with Kristen and always excited to see Kristen. I also loved receiving the text messages with Indies’ progress and photos and videos of the training session and any feedback. Kristen was always happy to answers any of my questions and concerns. Such a great trainer and service . We miss you .

We started our journey with Salty Pack in December last year after our crazy golden retriever puppy finished her 4-week puppy school training. We wanted to keep the training going, especially while she was still a puppy, and I want to feel confident walking her when she gets bigger!We have loved everything about our experience with Kristen and her team of trainers, and our puppy sure has too! The walk and train packages are fantastic value considering the amount of written feedback you receive after each session and the training videos! These videos have helped us to keep consistent with our training at home and we have learnt so much! It's very clear how much our puppy loves Kristen and Ellie as every time I play back the videos, she gets SO excited and thinks they are here to take her again!I also really appreciate how open Kristen has been to any questions we may have and her communication is consistent and super efficient! We highly recommend Salty Pack for your dog training! :)

Best doggie massage ever! Kristen also gave us very helpful suggestions for our dog 'Della'. She has severe travel anxiety due to an accident when she was 9 months old.Would love to have more hands-on from Kristen, she is awesome! We will have to depend mostly remote!

We’ve been seeing Kristen for 6 months now and we’ve seen amazing progress with our 1 year old Amstaff! She’s helped us set her up for success with realistic training techniques and video demonstrations for us to learn the commands. Always so helpful with any questions or concerns! It’s an absolute pleasure learning from Kristen and her team at salty packs!
