Creating Positive Relationships between dogs and their people

~~~

Kaye has a mystifying relationship with dogs and a gift for communicating with them, which she lovingly shares and teaches to their people.

Kaye Ames

Kaye Ames was born into a family of dogs.  No, not as one of the litter, but as a member of a family of avid dog fanciers.  

Kaye has spent virtually a lifetime providing service to dogs and their people.  Her grandmother, Grace Cramer, bred, boarded, and groomed dogs from the mid-1940's to the lat '60s, and Kaye was at her side from early on.  In 1962, Kay joined her grandmother in the kennel business and continued the family tradition.

Kay Ames has been counseling and teaching dogs and their people since 1962.  During this time, she spent five years as a veterinary assistant, 38 years as a dog groomer,  and 14 years as a professional show handler for 27 different breeds.  Kaye was also a breeder of Champion German Shorthaired Pointers and Rottweilers. 

She is a member of many dog related organizations, is a much sought after lecturer on Canine Behavior, Growth and Development, and has been a guest and expert advisor on a variety of TV programs.

Kaye operates the "Kaye Ames School for Dogs", in Lancaster, Pennsylvania,  where she provides opportunities for advanced growth between dogs and their people, utilizing the most up-to-date, positive, motivational behavior techniques.

Her classes address all levels of learning for pets and show dogs, including Puppy Kindergarten, Canine Good Citizen classes and testing, Conformation Handling classes, Problem-Solving Classes for the Show Dog, all levels of Obedience Competition, Agility and Flyball, Therapy Dog classes, and Doggie Dance classes.

Kaye also provides consultations for puppy temperament testing, puppy selection, puppy problem-solving, and behavior consultations for dogs of all ages.

Behind-the-scenes, Kaye donates her time and talents to animal shelters to correct behavioral problems in shelter dogs, resulting in dogs being  placed in their forever homes.
