About Our Trainer

Kimberly is the trainer behind WillOMoor Puppy Preschool, bringing decades of hands-on experience, continual education, and a deep understanding of canine development to every puppy she works with. Her training philosophy is rooted in concept-based training, focusing on teaching puppies how to learn, build confidence, regulate themselves, and thoughtfully engage with the world—rather than simply memorizing commands.

Kimberly is an AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Evaluator and is passionate about raising puppies with strong foundations in engagement, neutrality, adaptability, and real-life skills. Her approach blends reward-based training, structured play, and developmentally appropriate challenges to set puppies up for long-term success in both family life and performance pursuits.

With years of experience working with puppies, sport dogs, and family companions—and a commitment to lifelong learning—Kimberly’s goal is to develop dogs that are confident, biddable, and truly easy to live with. Puppies graduating from WillOMoor Puppy Preschool are started with intention, clarity, and a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.

WillOMoor Preschool Board & Train Program

We’re excited to introduce the WillOMoor Preschool Board & Train Program, built on the guiding philosophy:
“Good Dogs Can Go Everywhere!”

This program helps puppies confidently adapt to new situations, master essential manners, and develop important socialization skills during their critical developmental phase.

Each puppy’s experience is personally tailored to meet the unique needs of their future family, ensuring a smooth transition into their forever home. Through structured training, real-world exposure, and consistent guidance, we give every puppy the tools to grow into a well-mannered, confident, and versatile companion—truly a “Good Dog that Can Go Everywhere.”
