Carrie was wonderful in working with my reactive girl dog who kept barking at other dogs, she used her own dogs to help me work on behavior for my girl dog, and her dogs were wonderful in working with my dog. The behavioral modification techniques she gave me have been so helpful and my dog is so responsive to them! Thank yiu Carrie for helping me SO much with my furry lady!

I am very happy about our training plan after our first session with Carrie. Her experience with training is obvious the first time you and your pup meet her. Carrie's positive training methods are exactly what I was looking for and with practice are already having an effect on my little buddy.

Details: 1 dog • 2 - 10 years old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • Aggressive behavior modification • Leash pulling • Barking • Private dog training lessons • I travel to the dog trainer

Carrie's knowledge & compassion for animals was immediately apparent in the way she handled Riley at our first meeting. My little dog had just run out the front door & down several streets before I was able to catch her - this was 30 mins before Carrie arrived - she immediately began our session by dealing with this issue, knowing I was terrified of Riley running into traffic or being stolen. We have been working on all the training lessons 'homework' Carrie left us with & I can already see positive results. I'm excited to continue our training knowing it will keep Riley safe in the future. This is also training me to be a better parent & will build a stronger bond between us. Thank you Carrie.

Carrie responded back to my inquiry almost immediately. Had trouble getting response back from other trainers. On our first meeting she was very friendly and knowledgeable. We have training sessions set up and look forward to working with her.
