Stella has high anxiety. She’s so comfortable with Andy and moving around the space near her. It’s like magic.

He [Stills] was able to be 15-20 ft away from several dogs this morning and didn’t stop and stare nearly as much. It was a lot easier to get him moving again when he did stop too. So proud of him <3

You’re a really good trainer and have excellent communication skills.

Andy is a great trainer and was able to make progress with dogs that have previously been fired by trainers. I really appreciate the time and effort that was put into planning the sessions and how to accomplish the training goals we established. We have three dogs – two [seniors] that were raised together 1 of which is highly reactive to men and other dogs. The third is a young Shiba Inu who is stubborn and jealous. Issues that we wanted to resolve were incessant barking and charging at the fence, windows, and door when guests arrived, as well as trying to resolve relationship issues between 2 of the 3. We have reached a new level of success with recall and management of behavior that I have not been able to achieve with other trainers before. I highly recommend Andy as a trainer 10 out of 10 without a doubt.

I recently worked with Andy and I could not be happier with the results. I sought Andy’s help because I have a leash-reactive dog (Roy) and I was desperate for guidance on how to not only calm him, but to calm myself. Because of the work I did with Andy, my daily walks are much more fun and relaxing. I now have skills to use for all of Roy’s triggering situations (bikes, scooters, runners, dogs, wildlife, etc.). With my guidance, he is now much calmer and almost non-reactive when faced with all of these stressful situations. Most importantly, I now approach my time with Roy with much more confidence—he trusts me and knows he can count on me to keep him safe. Roy and I have more work to do, but it no longer feels daunting and impossible. Thank you so very much, Andy! Our work together was so rewarding and fun!

My favorite thing about working with Andy was how she tailored the sessions to Roy’s specific needs. She conducted a thorough, pre-training interview and followed up each session with specific notes, videos and recommendations.
