Dylan has been great for us! She is very observant and gives great instruction for the dogs and for us without being judgmental. Each time we meet she helps us adjust for whatever new challenges we are having with the training. Our dogs are a real handful but she continues to give us hope and they are progressing. She is also continuing to improve her knowledge and that shows through in her work with us.

Dylan has done nothing short of changing my life since she started working with me and my dog Oliver in the past few months. She is the most observant, effective, trustworthy and compassionate behavioral trainer I’ve ever met. And because of a challenging puppy, I have had to try or interview more than I cared for. Dylan gives clear, thoughtful instructions for me to follow so I can learn to provide the right guidance and energy for Oliver. She has built so much trust with Oliver that he can let go of his fear and learn how to bond with her and other humans. It’s work in progress but we have already seen him change a great deal in how he reacts to other people. What moves me the most is how much Dylan truly cares, about dogs and their humans. In the first few sessions Oliver would charge, bark and try to nip at her, but she never seemed put off or called him aggressive. And four weeks later she became his favorite human. The kindness, support and encouragement I’ve been given by Dylan is therapy-like. It was very stressful to have a dog I love but whose problematic behaviors I didn’t know how to manage. Before I found Dylan, I got useless advice such as “give your dog some CBD chews to calm him down”. I was told many times “we don’t work with dogs that have challenging behaviors at our facility”. I received pushy sales pitches on 2000-5000 price tags for board-and-train programs. Many of the other “behavioral trainers” I interviewed either showed they had limited skills in training a fearful dog and/or made me feel judged with irrelevant lecturing. All this left me feeling isolated and unsure if I could trust anyone or find real help anywhere. Enter Dylan, who from day one showed she truly wanted to help us, priced her services very reasonably, and always checked in on how I felt about our training. I trust Dylan to tell me what’s the best for Oliver’s development and my growth as his human. TLDR - hire Dylan if you’re looking for a dog trainer / walker. She’s the absolute best.

Dylan has come to train twice now and I am so glad to have found her! She is amazing with my puppy and me. I need so much training as a pack leader and she has given me confidence in the day to day with my puppy. She is easy to talk to and explains things really well. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to best for them and their dog!

She is amazing! She was able to get my dog Charlie to walk on his leash without pulling/ reacting to other dogs around him after just one lesson. We also were able to make him feel less anxious of his surroundings and become more secure. Can’t wait to see what she trains him next. 10/10 would recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
