from our beloved human clients
Dr. Jerald Hansing and his wife Isabelle
were struggling with their German shepherd, Kane. "He was into everything and we had no control. We had been through other
dog training programs but there was little outcome. We were exasperated when we finally called Kim", Isabelle recalls. "Since
working with Kim, Kane is a different dog. He is still learning but he has certainly come a long way. We feel Kim is
the female version of the television celebrity, Dog Whisperer, Caesar Milan and would recommend her to any dog owner experiencing
doggy behavior problems."
Sherrie Wheeler agrees: "I am very
grateful for Kim Bentley and Tomorrow's Hope. I have a Brussels Griffon dog named Tess. She is something else.
We considered giving Tess away but I just didn't want to do that. My vet suggested I get training and suggest Kim at
Tomorrow's Hope. I needed help in training Tess to quit chewing my daughter's toys, stop jumping on company, stop barking
and a change in potty training. Kim came to my house several times and Tess is a new dog! She has come a long
way. Tess is doing so much better! I highly recommend Kim Bentley and Tomorrow's Hope."
"Our firm (Southern Ohio Behavior
Health) decided to start a therapy dog program as a component of clinical care we offer to nursing homes. Needless to
say, finding a qualified trainer for our dogs was of the utmost importance to us. We were fortunate enough to locate
Kim Bentley at Tomorrow's Hope. We have found her to be very knowledgeable and competent. We currently have a
young dog enrolled in one of Kim's training classes and we have found the course to be effective and fun for handlers and
dogs alike. We would highly recommend Kim Bentley and Tomorrow's Hope to anyone who is looking for quality dog training"--Dr.

| Mandisa |
Our family was looking for another dog to bring into our home. We had lost
our precious "Dinder" about a year or so before we were ready to adopt again. We wanted to get our pet from a Rescue and we
happened to find a little dog in Kentucky. We did bring "Toby" home with us, but he had lots of behavioral issues that
needed to be addressed...by a professional. Someone recommended Kim, from Tomorrow's Hope to us and she came to our home to
work with "Toby". We were very impressed with how Kim handled our new dog. But it was becomming more obvious to us that this
little guy was not the right match for our family. So we returned him to his "Ol' Kentucky Home" :) But because Kim
knew our personalities and what we were looking for in another dog, she suggested that we foster one of her Rescue dogs...."Mandisa".
( a sweet little Jack Russell Terrier) Well, the rest is history...we fell in love with "Mandy" very quickly and decided to
adopt her. Kim has been very good about helping us with "Mandy". If we have questions she is good to offer advice. Kim has
taught us that the pet owners also have their own issues and helps us as people to deal better with our animals. We highly
recommend Kim Bentley and Tomorrow's Hope.
"Kim has been giving me guidance about my wayward canines for the past two
years - all via phone or email. Kim is so good, she doesn't
even have to see your dog. She already knows what advice to give you! Whenever
I report a problem, or a behavior defect or a new aggravating stunt,
Kim always points out that dog training is really PEOPLE training and
I need to work on my pack leader skills. She's right, of course,
and everything she has suggested (in that quiet, gentle voice of hers)
always works. My dogs love Kim too because she helps me be
a better leader for them, and
when I do my job well we're all happy!"

| Nick and his dog Kippy |
My name is Nick. I am 7 years old. Kim is fun. She
helped me control my very strong lab in just 2 sessions. I want my friends to learn from her.
My two children, ages 7 and 12, are both taking classes from Kim Bentley. My
children and I are all ready over-scheduled, but these classes are really worth the time and effort. I had all
ready attended several dog classes in California and Oregon. Through these classes my Standard Poodle passed his Canine Good
Citizenship Test. Kim beats those classes, hands down. I was unprepared for the behavioral problems of our Lab
mix and Sheltie. She has taught us how to modify their behaviors in a gentle and respectful manner. A
well behaved dog is a happy dog and a safer dog. There is also less Chaos in the family, which has made the time
spent well worth it. Another great benefit in having the children train their dogs is that it helps their leadership
skills. It's a great way to help your "shy" child blossom. Kim is so good with kids. Great
job Kim! Becky O'Connor
