"I rescued a puppy, not really thinking or knowing what I was getting into. I have trained dogs in the past for the show ring, for obedience, and for tracking, but all of my prior knowledge wasn't able to turn around the behavior of this highly needy, anxiety driven, high energy dog. Guess I should have known something was up when I was told that the dog had been returned before I got him :)
Rebecca was able to give me clear direct protocols that I was able to implement, and they directly affected his behavior almost immediately. I live a distance from her, so all of our interactions were over the phone. Her suggestions worked great! Each stage that I've gone through with him, she has been there to support and guide me. As for my dog, he is turning into a really nice companion. He now responds to commands, he no longer eats my shoes and clothes, and I can take him places and he doesn't freak out as often. We are still working out issues, and I know that if I get stuck, Rebecca will be there to guide me with great practical interventions. I highly recommend her for anyone who has behavioral issues with their dog, whether they be easy issues or the more complex ones. I am grateful for her help. My dog has stopped being a major stressor in my life and has become a true companion." -Shilo M. & Salomon

"Back in 2013, I was no longer able to run my poodle, Reese, due to medical reasons and needed someone to help continue his agility training. He's a very fast dog with a lot of promise so I really wanted him to continue with agility even though I couldn't run him anymore. Some of the challenges I had with my dog were behavioral. That was when Rebecca stepped in and started working with him. Reese wouldn't stay at the start line, he wouldn't lay down on the table, and altogether avoided the teeter. She was patient, consistent, gentle, and really worked to build his confidence to eventually retrain these behaviors. She's a skilled trainer who really knows how to motivate even the most nervous dogs. I saw results immediately. Rebecca is by far the BEST dog trainer I’ve come across! I would recommend anybody who has a dog that needs training seek out Rebecca for assistance." -Stephanie B. & Reese
