Client Name
Riley B.
What is the biggest challenge you faced with your dog(s) before working with me?
Reactivity/biting, resource guarding, anxiety/barking
What changes or results have you seen working with me?
Focusing on mentally stimulating Obi has made him a much better behaved dog. We're still working through a lot of our homework, but boosting his confidence and letting him use his brain to puzzle things out has definitely improved his behavior.
What is the most important thing people should know about working with me?
Joy is a wonderful communicator who has been so helpful to us over email and in person. It was amazing to watch her work with our dog and she provided so many insights that have helped me better understand and manage his challenging behaviors. I know that it is going to be an ongoing process for us to build new habits and responses with our dog, but I feel like now we at least have the tools we need to move forward.

Separation Anxiety
What changes or results have you seen working with me?
I have received quality information and guidance for how to improve my dog’s separation anxiety. There have been improvements with Neptune’s anxiety that we are working on daily. Neptune also has a clearer idea of his role in the house. We have created a more positive bond and structure to help him know that I am in charge.
