TESTIMONIAL: 🐕🐕🤍🖤🤍🖤💘
Poppy, Pretzel, Felicia & Diego ❣️
🐕🐕 A few months after my husband and I adopted our dog Poppy, she began displaying reactivity to new people and dogs. On walks, she would lunge at other dogs, try to jump on people, and would growl with her hackles raised. The behavior made walking her a stressful daily occurrence.
🐕🐕 We had tried working with other trainers, but for various reasons the training methods were not yielding results even after months of work.
🐕🐕 We came across Rachel on a walk with both our dogs, Poppy and Pretzel, and were immediately impressed with how calm and collected Rachel was while interacting with Poppy. Poppy used to not calm down around strangers, but within 5 minutes of meeting Rachel she was going up to her and taking treats from her hand.
🐕🐕 We ended up hiring Rachel for an initial session to learn dog psychology, and that’s all we needed to see immediate and lasting results. Poppy no longer lunges at every dog we pass and instead ignores them or expresses some positive curiosity. She almost never reacts to people on walks now. She is also much better with guests at our apartment and calms down more quickly.
🐕🐕 A huge credit for this improvement goes to the dog psychology aspect of Rachel’s training. Rachel guided us through how to manage ourselves around our dogs and lead them with confidence. It’s changed our relationship with our dogs for the better.
🐕🐕 Poppy and Pretzel are no longer trying to lead or figure out how to respond to other dogs and people. Instead, they are looking to us for guidance and cues on how they should behave. It’s a game changer and has turned walks into a fun bonding experience rather than a chore. 🐕🐕🤍🖤🤍🖤
