Quality Canines by Kim is owned and operated by Kim Ryan-Mueller. Kim is a certified trainer and professional dog behaviorist. Her certifications include: basic/advanced obedience, police K-9, and support dog training for the disabled
Training Methods: Our training methods are based on praise and motivation. There won’t be any hitting, yelling, or hanging your dog. “If the tail isn’t wagging,
your dog isn’t learning.” A lot of kisses and hugs go into our training to keep up your dog’s confidence and self esteem. Grouping dogs together in a class situation can be very confusing for your dog and frustrating for you, as owners. Every dog, regardless of breed, has a unique personality that requires individual attention and training by a certified, qualified individual. This will also give you the opportunity to train at your own pace without feeling rushed or left behind. Don’t worry. You won’t be missing out on socialization or distractions. They are a large part of the training. Your dog will feel confident and will respond in all types of situations, once the training is completed. Training Packages: We have a variety of packages available for your budget and training needs. You will have different commands, guarantees, and levels of obedience to choose from. You choose as much or as little as you want. Give us a call and we will be happy to send you a list of packages and prices. Quality Canines by Kim is committed to excellence. All training packages come with a guarantee. We will be there to help you whenever you have a question or problem. You no longer have to worry about your puppy going through all of his adolescent stages of life alone. We will be there every step of the way. If you’re having problems, just let us know and we will help you free of charge until the problems are solved. Behavioral Problems: Is your dog chewing, jumping, play biting, digging or having other annoying behavioral problems? Don’t worry! No matter how large or small, all behavioral problems are covered in each training package. Special Needs: If there are any special commands you would like your dog to learn, such as automatically sitting at streets, show commands, or even retrieving a can of pop from the refrigerator, just let us know and we will do it. I can customize and create commands to fit any unique situation or need. Kim Ryan-Mueller is also certified in support work for the disabled. Please feel free to involve all of your loved ones in the training. Dogs are highly Intelligent animals that need guidance to learn how to Interact effectively with their families. Most pets are kept indoors and treated like members of the family. Unfortunately, many untrained dogs are more often an embarrassment to the family and a nuisance to friends and neighbors rather than the obedient companions they can be. Communication is the key to success. Bad behavior is usually due to miscommunication. Our Training programs teach you how to effectively communicate, build a positive relationship between your family and dog, and eliminate negative behavior. Quality Canines by Kim specializes in professional, in-home, one on one training for all breeds, ages, and temperaments of dogs. We work very closely with the whole family, even small children, to ensure the best possible training for everyone involved.

Lost puppy!!
Her name is Maisie. The owner's name is Annette, and here number is
(312) 388-8552. Maisie is still a puppy. She's a German shepherd, and she disappeared during their walk at Raceway Woods yesterday afternoon 11/5/21. Maisie is wearing a red collar and she is microchipped. She's friendly to other dogs and people, but might be startled or scared by people calling her name loudly.
This is the entrance to raceway woods/meadowdale raceway where Maisie the dog went missing. The family parked and entered the raceway on this side of the racetrack, and Maisie went missing just inside, off the main trail and to the right.
I do not know the owner or the pup. If you know any information please contact Maisie's mom. 😊
Thanks,
Kim

Quality Canines by Kim specializes in professional, in-home, one on one training for all breeds, ages, and temperaments of dogs. We work very closely with the whole family, even small children, to ensure the best possible training for everyone involved. Each member of the family will receive hands on, personalized training that will meet your dog’s age, personality and temperament.
What age do you start?: I start training at 8 weeks of age depending on your puppy’s breed and personality. Don’t think your dog has missed out on training because of his age. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks.
Socialization: You will not be missing out on socialization if you go with in home training. Socialization is a huge part of our training. Your dog will feel confident and will respond in all types of situations once the training is completed.
Dog Parties: We also periodically hold dog parties. This helps me teach the dogs how to play nicely with each other as well as with the adults and kids that are there. I only allow dogs I have trained to attend the dog parties. This way we can ensure that all the dogs attending will listen and behave with one another. Most people keep in touch with me through the dog parties. This way you can ask questions, keep your dog socialized throughout his life, not to mention give him a workout playing with all the pups.
Dog Parties are an amazing way for me to socialize your dog as well as keep in touch with you during, and after our initial training.
Walk in the Park: In the park we want your dog to be able to run, sniff and play. We have an additional set of commands your dog will learn at the park to make sure he doesn’t run off, chase joggers, or run up to other dogs.
Commands: I like to start with 21 commands and will add on more as we go through the training. We will cover different obedience, behavioral, social, domestication, and safety commands. All command words can be changed and adjusted for each dog. Your dog will learn different commands for each environment he is in. He will need to know what is expected of him at all times so there isn’t any miscommunication. He will have different and additional commands at the park, veterinarian, riding in the car, Petco, Petsmart, when company comes to the door, greeting a strange dog, etc. We will take it one command at a time until your dog understands what you want him to do in various situations and locations.
