Melinda is a font of knowledge when it comes to animal behavior and one of the most professional people I've ever met. She immediately showed me her driver's license so I knew she was who she claimed to be and her resume, and then provided me with books she recommended and the research she had done on the adoption agency, my vet, etc. She gave me very simple things to work on with Carmella for five minutes each day and explained why she wanted me to do these things. I would recommend her to anyone with an aggressive dog

Details: 1 dog • 2 - 10 years old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • Private dog training lessons • Aggressive behavior modification • Destructive behavior • The dog trainer travels to me

Melinda was very helpful in providing me information and ways I can continue to work with my cat to help her feel less anxious. She was very professional, and it is obvious she is very compassionate about animals. I am very happy with my experience in working with her. What I liked best is that she equipped me with tools and knowledge that I can use to improve my cat's behaviors and general well being.

Details: Evaluate needs • Address fears or anxieties • Address nuisance behaviors • Cat • At my home • Monday • Saturday • Friday • Morning (9am - noon) • Early morning (before 9am) • Late afternoon (3 - 6pm) • Early afternoon (noon - 3pm) • Evening (after 6pm) • I travel to the animal behaviorist • The animal behaviorist travels to me

She has a wealth of knowledge about cats,and their behaviors. She immediately gave us some ideas of what we do to help our cats and their behavior issues. She was very professional and we are looking forward to continuing to work with her!

I asked Melinda questions that we have been waiting to hear from vets for years and have had no answers. We still don’t have the answers we need but now feel comfortable not knowing after talking with Melinda. She even called our vet and did a consult to order tests to help us out! Great person to work with! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Details: Address fears or anxieties • Address nuisance behaviors • Other • Cat • As recommended by professional • Tuesday • Wednesday • Morning (9am - noon) • Early morning (before 9am) • Late afternoon (3 - 6pm) • Early afternoon (noon - 3pm) • Evening (after 6pm) • I travel to the animal behaviorist • The animal behaviorist travels to me

The difference in my cats is monumental! I never thought I'd be able to train my cats, I thought they were just stuck in their bad habits. They took to it in less than 30 minutes! They were excited to learn new things and all of their and bad behaviors started to diminish within two weeks. They are more enriched, engaged, and affectionate! It has been absolutely life changing! I recommend Ludar to everyone I know now.
