Working with Dawn has been an absoulte pleasure! She has been to our house twice in 2 weeks and we can already see a significant difference in our dogs behaviour! She is so full of knowledge and has tought us many tecniques that we never would have known or thought of on our own! I highly recommend wishes and wags to anyone looking for a tranier that will give you personalized training for your dog!

Dawn was a confident and positive person and had many really good ideas to help Brunzy with his severe separation anxiety. We had some communication issues but she's responded with care and concern. I'm sure the breakdown was on both our sides. Anyway, most of all, Dawn's optimistic and hopeful attitude about Brunzy did a lot to restore my confidence that his painful anxiety and panic will be responsive to continued positive behavioral training and, of course, lots of love. I think I gained a lot from our session and recommend her highly.

Details: Dog • 1 pet • Providing companionship • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • A few times a week • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location
