- DA FIORETTI - FOREST SCHOOL FOR DOGS

I heard about Kima and Da Fioretti through overhearing a conversation in a cafe in London, and I knew immediately that would be the right place for my rescue dog Olive whilst I was away with work. Kima is very kind but firm and her understanding of dogs and intuition is second to none. The forest walks she takes the dogs on daily seem magical in themselves, then paired with behavioural training - its been a huge help to know Olive was in the best hands possible. I just received Olive back and the positive changes are clear to see, I just need to keep up the good work now! In two weeks with Kima and her pack, Olive's anxiety and reactivity is far more under control, and her state of mind seems more calm overall. I hope Olive will be able to revisit Kima, CeCe and their family and I'm so glad I found her!

Our beloved Golden Retriever, Berry, is very blessed to have Kima in her life - as are we! Berry spends two days a week walking with the pack in the forest. Kima sends photographs and videos to show us how Berry is growing and developing alongside her other pals (she is an excitable 10 month old), and it's truly amazing to see her learn and grow each week. We have recently discovered that she is also becoming a good little helper when needed - something that she could never get from us in our little family. Being out with so many other dogs, walking out in the forest without a lead, and experiencing what it means to walk in a pack, is just priceless. We miss her, but know that she is having the most nourishing time, and that helps us know we are growing a very happy dog alongside Kima and her pack!

Tarn had the pleasure of staying for two weeks with Kima as a young puppy earlier this year. We knew in advance that this time was to be special for her, being able to spend quality time with a number of other dogs in a pack, and a time to experience a kind of mentoring from the other older dogs. She came back to us extremely calm and settled. She had been nourished in every way and she glowed with health. She was full. Tarn is a magical creature and Kima has been instrumental in enabling us to connect with her magic. The way Kima connects, communicates and instructs the dogs non-verbally is really quite special. Inspiring. Something I had never experienced before. Thank you from us and from Tarn !

Meeting Kima @dafiorettiforestschoolfordogs has been a life changing experience for Pip, our terrier cross, and our whole family. We took Pip to Kimas Forest School in Wales for help with some reactive behaviour and general over excitement and we could not have imagined the love, attention and help that Pip would receive throughout the two month period. From the moment we dropped Pip off at Kimas beautiful home we were reassured that Pip had settled into a wonderful routine of forest pack walks, a cosy bed, fresh food and even massages, with regular updates, insights and advice. Kima has a passionate and instinctive understanding of dogs (and people) and has helped us all to understand what Pips needs as a sensitive dog. Pip returned to us calmer and happier, more responsive and obedient, she can even be in the same room as the hoover and sit happily whilst she has her nails clipped! She will now walk happily on a lead with no pulling (with all members of the family) and we all feel so much more confident taking her to places that we would have avoided in the past. We are so grateful to Kima for transforming our relationship with Pip, she is absolutely one in a million and our only sadness is that we dont live closer! We feel incredibly lucky to have Kima in our lives and cant recommend her highly enough.

Meeting Kima has been a revelation. Her calm, patient, loving yet firm approach to training dogs has to be experienced. Our young collie cross puppy has benefited hugely from twice weekly visits and we will continue to take her there as she loves it so much, learning to interact with other dogs and people whilst still having fun. Plus great advice on nutrition. I can't recommend the Da Fioretti School for Dogs highly enough.
