"I adopted a dog who turned out to have no manors and had protection issues with different things such as food and water bottles. He had been shuffled from shelter to shelter and never had a loving home or anyone to teach him basic manors. I decided it was best to get a professional involved as he was very hard to handle! I took Sye to private and group training with Kristi Logterman and had great results! Sye now has basic manors and even some more advanced skills as well. Kristi took the time to explain exactly how to handle situations and she also gave us great information on how dogs think vs how humans think. She always had lots of ideas and tricks so if one thing didn't work she would suggest another way. This really helped in the training process! I would recommend anyone to Kristi! 😊"

"Kristy is a compassionate dog trainer who really knows her trade. Everything she has taught us to do so far has had positive results. I would highly recommend her."

"My husband and I were totally pleased with the training of our puppy Angel. Kristi is very knowledgeable about training, I really like her techniques. We're using them for training our puppy Angel. And seeing a change in her already. Thank you so much Kristi. Your a inspiration to us. Sincerely, Jim and Sherrie Baron"

"Everything went very well. Kristi is very knowledgable and taught us a lot. We look forward to the progress our pup will make."

"Have been a pug owner for almost 20 years - but my latest pug - defeated my abilities .... I knew that she had issues when I got her - but changing her behavior was proving impossible on my own. "Throw me a bone " had a booth at this year's Pugfest - I made an appointment and after just one visit realized that I had found someone who could really help modify Poppy's behavior. Kristi's suggestions were extremely helpful and worked !!! would not hesitate to recommend her services."

"She was really great with our 2 dogs! Learned a lot the 1st day! Looking forward to our next session!"

"Kristi was great at showing me how to properly train my 7 month old pit bull Buddy. After my first session I am having great success with my boy. The simple basic commands that she taugt me made all the difference. I would highly recommend Kristi to anyone looking to train their dog. The best part is that she comes to your home and you get to deal with the training at home and not some other place. Thank you Kristi"

"Kristi was amazing. We learned so much about our dog and we're amazed to see the positive changes in her behavior in 24 hours. Kristi's love of dogs is very apparent. We would recommend her over and over again. Also really appreciated her follow-up call 48 hours later to see how things were going."

"Kristi is the best dog trainer ever! She came to my home, spent 3 hours here with us. She explained about dog behavior and everything that we need to know to improve dog behavior. Nowadays my dog is 75% better!! She was trained before Krist but it doesn't work. Now she's better and we're happy!"

"Kristi is amazing with my dogs. They were new to me, and I needed the training. She was answered my ad and responded when no one else would. They immediately responded positively to her and she was thorough with her assessment. She made herself available for any questions. I'm looking forward to working with her again soon."

"She is so easy to work with. Dogs made great progress in one hour. They loved her and so did we! Highly recommend."

"You did a wonderful job & we are so excited to learn how to train our dog properly."

"Working with Kristi has been great, our dog (Rosie) saw immediate results. We had originally tried dog classes at a highly rated facility and thought we'd get more personal training sessions as a supplement to that. Those training sessions ended up being vastly more successful. Could not recommend more!"

"Kristi is fantastic. The improvement in the dogs after the first session has been amazing to see."

"Great experience! Highly recommend!"

"Kristi is in a word Amazing! Her knowledge, compassion and kind approach to training both dog and owner makes her unique and outstanding. Highly recommend her as she’s done so much in just 2 visits and helps me trouble shoot issues along the way"

"Kristi is so patient and knowledgeable. She made sure I understood everything before she left. I have lots of literature and homework. Kristi is very thorough. My new rescue has never had any training and doesn't know how to function without a constant human companion. We have seen such an improvement in just 24 hrs that I know it won't be long before our fur babies get along, and Buffy learns to be a dog. Turns out we needed training as well. Kristi has been in constant contact to make sure all is going well. Such a blessing!"

"Great. Learned a lot now it’s a matter of applying it."

"Kristi really knows her subject. We learned several techniques for our little Yorker. We also gained an understanding of Bayley’s behavior"

"Kristi is very dedicated to her profession! We are seniors and often forget what we have learned. Kristi supplied us with a detailed folder loaded with information that we refer to often. And the folder is personalized. If we could only clone her our lives would be perfect with our wonderful Maggie!"

"we now have the tools we needed to communicate with our dog. We absolutely would recommend her. Our dog is happier and so are we"

"Kristi really understands dogs well. We got our Annie, who was already 2 years old, from the local shelter. Annie needed a lot of TLC - and Kristi was there to let us know just how to train her right."

"Kristi is a fantastic trainer, very good knowledge and understanding of dog behavior and misbehavior, as well as positive corrective measures."

"Kristi is so good teaching our puppy, Lucy. Very patient and kind. She taught us about leadership with your dog and helped us become so confident in how to practice with Lucy in between visits. I highly recommend her!"

"Kristi spent three hours with us reviewing and reinforcing good management practices with our Mickey.We are both committed to following thru with her suggestions. We hope to continue training Mickey( English Springer) to be a therapy dog."

"After one visit we have some tools that are already changing our dogs behavior. Very happy with Kristi and her techniques."

"Very prepared with her paperwork, information for us to work on and communication with the whole family. She followed up to see how grainy as going and was very thorough and patient when my kids asked questions. Rocky is coming along in training! Can't wait for session 2"

"Kristi helped us understand why our dog was having behavior/possessive issues and what we needed to do to correct the them. It is still a work in progress, however we did see an almost immediate improvement & our dog keeps getting better!"

"After our first session, both my little dog and I were exhausted. We had covered so much information - we had LOTS of issues! But today, I can tell a difference in her already. The excessive barking was my main concern, and using the calming technique we learned yesterday, she is already 100% better! I am stunned and amazed, and truly grateful. THANK YOU Kristi, you're the BEST!"

"Kristi immediately made a difference with our 8 month old Labradoodle. There were issues with continually jumping on and nipping at the wife, and not listening to her at all.

Kristi explained how dogs think and how we need to communicate to him what we want him to do.

Her approach is positive reinforcement of good behavior, not trying to change bad behavior by negative reactions.

Now the dog respects the wife's space, is very good at sit stay and down stay, and is well on the way to being calm when someone comes to the door. He also greets people in a much calmer and respectful way after Kristi working with him.

Kristi's rate for training is very reasonable, and she works her schedule to come to your house when it's convenient for you.

I doubt there is any dog behavior that she hasn't dealt with successfully in her years of experience.

We have and would recommend Kristi to anyone with a dog or dogs with issues, minor or major. It's very clear that Kristi is very passionate about gentle, force free dog training techniques.

"Very knowledgeable and helped us greatly"

"After the first meeting my family and I are much more confident with our dog Winston. Looking forward to our next session."

"I am having a truly wonderful experience with Kristi. She offers great suggestions and guidance that has helped my situation. I actually put into practice one of her suggestions while she was there that was successful and is something I was never able to do with my dog. With the amount of time she spent, she went above and beyond my expectations. My situation was difficult and she was able to improve it substantially. I am continuing to work with Kristi and highly recommend her to anyone."

"We had a wonderful experience with Throw Me a Bone! Highly recommended, Kristi is extremely accommodating and knowledgeable"

"Excellent"

"Kristi is very professional, my Cherry has changed a lot after her visit to our house, we are really grateful for Kristi's work with our puppy ♥️"

"Kristi has such dedication to her profession and helping her clients succeed. Working with people and their dogs is like a ministry for her. I have a dog that is extremely reactive to people and dogs. She has such patience working with me and my dog to help him as I’m very stressed. She has been a godsend for me. Her fees I find extremely reasonable and she even gives a discount for shelter rescues. I highly recommend Kristi. She is a truly good person and excellent at her profession."

"Kristi is great! She approaches training one step at a time. Kristi explains what she is doing and how this will benefit my dog and family."

"We reached out to Kristi after reading the many glowing reviews she had. One of the biggest issues we had with our rescue dog was that he was fearful of my husband and people in general. We struggled with training him and were looking for someone to train US just as much as our dog. 😊 Kristi was incredibly responsive from the moment we reached out. She gave us advice before she even came for the first session! Kristi clearly cares about dogs, is knowledgeable and is open to finding new ways to help. When our dog was too afraid to even come close to her for training, she brought in life size stuffed dogs to help our dog feel like he was “part of a pack”. We let him watch us pet the stuffed dogs, pretended to have them eat etc. It was amazing to watch how quickly our dog responded and started changing his behavior based on what he saw the other “dogs” doing! We would have never thought to do that if it hadn’t been for Kristi! She is awesome-we are so thankful we found her!"

"Kristy was a great trainer, patient and confident. My experience went so well I brought my second dog for training when I got her. Thanks Kristy 😀"

"Kristi did an outstanding job with dog training. My dog is a little stubborn and she took her time to work with her. I would definitely go back to her and refer her."

"So Amazing !!! After one visit my dog knew how to sit and lay on command. Kristi knows what she is doing and is an expert !! She really cares so much about my dog and helps me by answering all my questions. She is always open to providing help and has many solutions to any of my concerns with my dog. I could not have asked for a better person to train my new puppy and look forward to every class. I am so Happy to have found Kristi !!! She is wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to train their dog with kindness and understanding. It's truly amazing to watch. I plan to call her "The dog Whisper er" Call her you will be so happy that you did !!!!"

"She has been great with our fearful dog. We saw a difference after the first meeting."

"Very happy. We have a lot of work to do but know we have great guidance to get it done."

"Great service and communication from the start. Very happy so far ..."

"In the three hours Kristi was our two 8-month old Malitpoos, she gave us the tools and knowledge that we needed to make incredible strides in improving behavior with small changes in our daily interactions with the pups.

It's obvious that Kristi really loves animals, and her positive-only approach promotes excellent bonding between pooch and parent. She truly is striving for a healthier, positive relationship between parties, and not just simple obedience.

I have already referred several others to her, and we all look forward to working with her more in the future! Thank you so much, Kristi!"

"Kristi is great!! If you are looking for someone to help you with ANY kind of unwanted behaviors, simple training, intense training, basic commands....she's your girl! Kristi really understands dogs and how they think , which helped me understand dog mind. It's very helpful when trying to train your pup. She comes very prepared, is patient, and my little Bentley just loved her. She was able to get him to do things I've never seen before...it was very interesting to see. I was able to continue all the stuff she taught Bentley in just a short time. Dogs respond to her! My Bentley is a completely different dog...thank you Kristi!"

"We had a very good experience with Kristi. Our English Bulldog became dominant and aggressive and we were feeling desperate and scared. He had bitten us several times and we didn't know what to do. Kristi came to our home and spent 4 hours with us. By the time she left our 2 dogs were well on their way to understanding we were pack leaders and the aggression reduced a lot and stopped over the next week with consistent training. We love our dogs so much and recommend Kristi very highly."

"Kristi has been wonderful, offering valuable training for our new puppy along with practical tips for dealing with some issues that our older dog has as well. We appreciate her patience and dog training experience and would highly recommend her to anyone in the market for dog training!"

"Kristi is very knowledgeable about dog psychology and a pleasure to work with."

"If we could give higher than 5 stars to Kristi we would. She is awesome! We could see improvement in Harley right away while Kristi was still training him, and showing us. She is so kind and caring."

"Kristi was easy to work with; she has a very calm manner and put both my dog and me at ease. She has many training techniques and is a very good teacher, for the human and the dog alike. She made sure I understood exactly what to do for my dog. I would recommend her for both the novice dog owner and the experienced, like me, who needed a refresher after not having a young dog for many years. She's wonderful."

"Kristi's knowledge and experiences are evident during our training. Kristi's gentle positive approach really works."

"She worked with my dog and you can see the difference. Jumping has gotten better, but still working with my dog. I have learned a lot from her training."

"We’ve met with Kristi one time so far to work on leadership with our dog Marsi. We’ve already seen such an improvement and are excited to continue working with Kristi on leash skills and socialization. Kristi is kind, professional, is great with animals, and is an amazing teacher! We’re so glad we found her."

"My husband and I really enjoyed working with Kristi. We liked that she came to our home so we could work with where we deal with our dogs everyday , not in a store or building. Kristi was calm, kind but firm with our dogs and was at our home for over 4 hours. Kristi is available for questions and concerns after the training and for follow up visits which we will be doing when our schedules permit. I would highly recommend Kristi. Susie & Rich"

"Kristi helped us so much with our rescue dog in just one visit. She’s so much calmer, listens much better, and is responsive to the work we are continuing!"
