Da Fioretti

Kima will most certainly take your dog for an extraordinary walk, yet I would never refer to her a dog walker". She is a soul searcher

After relocating from a busy suburb to rural Herefordshire we found our dog was very unsettled with the move her behaviour became a little more unpredictable and hyperactive. I started to really not enjoy walking her in case she misbehaved. Also our dog is mongrel mixed with staffy which people find abit scary when she gets stroppy and shouty with other dogs, something she has increased since our move.I contacted Kima for some advice and our dog spent one day with Kima. After that one day with Kima she returned SUPER!! calm and I was amazed at the difference immediately. Kima was very supportive and clear on our dogs needs and what we should focus on and I am very happy to say that it has now been two weeks and we have been doing as advised and our dog is much calmer generally, does not run straight out the back door when it is open to find cats, sheeps or rabbits, walking on a lead to my side and not pulling and best of all she is not growling at passing dogs. I feel she is much more settled herself and my confidence is increasing so I am now enjoying my time with her and do not panic when I see another dog appraoching us. I am really thankful to Kima to help build that reconnection with my dog and am loving walking with her and realised she just needed to feel safe. I am really looking forward to continuing helping my dog now with the advice of Kima and I can see its just going to get better. Thankyou !

When we got a new puppy we wanted to make sure we gave her the best start and as our first puppy we quickly realised we had alot to learn. We came across Da Fioretti online and after meeting Kima we instantly knew our puppy Broni would be in safe hands. She has been training and walking with Kima for the last few months and absolutely loves her time with Kima. She comes home really happy and relaxed after her time learning and getting to play with other dogs. As well as training Broni, Kima has been the most amazing help to us too, always taking time to go through any tips and advice on all the things we come across with Broni every day. We can't recommend Kima enough. If you're looking for someone who truly loves and cares for dogs and is always happy to help, then look no further. The homemade treats on the website are also a huge hit too!!

Da Fioretti looked after our 13 week old cockapoo puppy this week for two days. Kima kept me updated with photos and videos of how little Betty was getting on which was so reassuring. Betty was so happy and calm when she came home and slept really peacefully. Kima is a dog-whisperer. Watching footage of her walking with the pack was extraordinary and Betty clearly benefited enormously from the experience. I have already learnt so much from Kima in this short time and we are now booking for her puppy training programme. I cannot recommend Da Fioretti enough! I'm delighted we've found her.

My dogs are part of the family. They are loved and special and I would have nothing but the best for them.They go to Kima every week, have exciting forest walks and are fed the most amazing raw food diet.It was Kim‘s advice on raw food that helped my weimeraner, Flynn, who was suffering from terrible stomach problems. He has never been ill since we changed his diet to a raw food diet.Her training is amazing and I know my dogs would never be as well-behaved had they not been visiting Kima regularly.She sends me many posts and photographs of them whilst they stay with her and I never for one moment have to worry that they are not happy or well.Kima is an inspiration and a doggy angel and we are very lucky and honoured to have her in our lives.I know my dogs love her as much as I do.

Meeting Kima @dafiorettiforestschoolfordogs has been a life changing experience for Pip, our terrier cross, and our whole family. We took Pip to Kima’s 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 Kima’s 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 Pip’s 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 don’t live closer! We feel incredibly lucky to have Kima in our lives and can’t recommend her highly enough.

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!

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.
