Outstanding Owners
Sami and Kartik with Bear
Bear is a Toy Aussie who has a lot of feelings towards most things! Noises, other dogs, strangers and sneezes used to put him on edge. Sami and Kartik have put a ton of work in (and continue to do so) and Bear has come a long way with his reactivity.
Alix and Phil with Colette
Colette is a six year old feist mix who has struggled with a mix of fear reactivity and territorial agitation for years. Phil and Alix want to help her with her stress, so they reached out to me! They learned a ton about reading her body language, how to advocate for her, counter conditioning and management. All of that combined has helped Colette conquer some fears and she made huge strides in the 10 days we worked together. I know they will achieve great things together in the future!
Sharon with Riley
Riley is a 2 year old dog who regressed with her potty training. Even though my protocol was quite different than what they’re used to doing, she followed every single step and Riley got better with her potty habits instantly! Having an owner who is enthusiastic about training and willing to put in the work is the key ingredient to getting success for you and your dog.
Becca with Dottie
Dottie is an 8 year old dog who had some frustration based leash reactivity towards dogs. As much as they both prefer off - leash hikes more, Dottie had to learn how to behave better walking around the complex they live in. Becca and Dottie have one of those relationships that every owner should strive for with their dog. You can feel and see the love between the two of them. This relationship helped training progress so quickly and we all had a blast during their program! Dottie happy prances will live in my brain forever!
Kelly with Hazel
Kelly is no softie, but Hazel is such a typical Labrador so walks were quite miserable together. She would get excited about, well, EVERYTHING. Thankfully she’s a great dog who’s very driven and she really just needed to know how to win. Once she knew that, everything fell into place. It was such a joy to work with these two. Watching them work together would bring a smile to anyone’s face and Kelly is the kind of owner who puts the work in, no questions asked! I can’t wait to watch them thrive together.
Sarah with Abby
Abby used to be a terror to walk. She would react to pretty much everything, but the scariest was cars driving by as she would lunge at them and Sarah was terrified of her getting hit. Through training and incredible commitment from mom, Abby now goes for pleasant walks with zero reactivity. She is even able to go to the mall and is a perfect lady.
Nikki with Fiona
Nikki is one of those people with a heart of gold. She is incredibly sweet, kind and loving and she shares that love with the foster dogs she helps find homes for! Fiona also shares that kind and loving nature, so it’s no wonder she became a foster fail. The only downside of Fiona loving everyone is she developed some frustration based dog reactivity. After our program, Fiona was able to walk around dogs and better handle her emotions. I have no doubt in my mind that these two will accomplish great things together.
