Certified Dog Trainers in La Crosse, Wisconsin

Crimson Hound is based in La Crosse, Wisconsin, offering in-home consultations throughout the Coulee Region, as well as virtual session for clients based anywhere. Kerrie Hoar specializes in working with dogs who exhibit reactive, aggressive and fearful behaviors. As a Family Dog Mediator®, she takes a different approach to dog training. Rather than concentrating solely on obedience, Kerrie focuses on helping her clients to build relationships with their dogs that are based in trust and understanding. FDMs look at how L.E.G.S.® have come together to create the dog sitting in front of us and use realistic goal setting, management protocols and, when necessary, teach new behaviors to create a situation that will meet both the client’s goals and the dog’s needs. Kerrie’s training philosophy is grounded in rewards-based methods and LIMA standards. She does not prescribe to methods that use force, coercion and punishment.

I am a certified dog trainer through ABC with multiple certifications through AKC. I offer both group classes and private lessons. I specialize in confidence building and family dog training but also compete and train in Rally, Agility, and Trick. I grew up with mixed breed rescues and now have had the pleasure of raising two chocolate labs from 8 weeks old to current. My passion for dogs started young and flourished when I spent time working at my local humane society before starting my certification path through ABC. I have been certified and a practicing dog trainer for about a decade. I am continuing my education and my growth as continued improvement is very important to me. I hope to help as many humans and dogs as I can throughout my career to find success and happiness.
