"It’s been about a year since you visited our house for Maggie’s training. We had company on Saturday and Maggie was so well behaved it was unbelievable. Our company couldn’t believe the difference either. They said she is like another dog. We have seen a gradual change with Maggie for the better in the past year but yesterday was the best! She goes to her mat when told and I think this is what has helped! We are having another visitor this coming Saturday and feels so good not to feel stressed out because of how she is going to react. I know she will always be a work in progress but I can’t thank you enough for how much your advice has helped! Just wanted to let you know. Again, thank you!"

"I knew very little about taking care of a dog at the time I adopted a three-year-old Shih Tzu mix who was extremely reactive on leash and very impulsive in general. Angela and Lowell worked with us over the course of several months, to knit my dog and I into a confident team able to manage his reactivity independently. They were able to assess each of our strengths and abilities, meet us where we were, and move us on to the next stage with patience, persistence, kindness and clear teaching goals. They modeled the techniques I needed to learn until I understood, and then coached me to apply the techniques myself with my dog.
In addition, I had many questions along the way about taking care of my dog, and they always listened and responded with helpful information and clear explanations. I had felt a lot of fear and anxiety about dealing with such an emotional little dog; knowing Angela and Lowell were available to me gave me much needed support and confidence throughout our training. And I am equally grateful that they are still there to call on in the future! Thanks Angela and Lowell!"

"Both my mother and I were very pleased with what we and Molly learned in the [Reactive Rover] class. We can already see positive changes in her behavior. On Sunday, Molly and I went to the local [Pet Supply Store], and hung around outside the door, then went in and walked the aisles. Molly came in fairly close proximity (about 2 feet) with 4 different dogs, and all we saw in her behavior was curiosity, which was a great change!"

"Hi Angela & Lowell, Just wanted to say thanks so much for a great class and let you know what AMAZING progress we've made using positive reinforcement. Before your class, we had to keep Bravo completely separated from my boyfriend's cats. Since implementing your techniques these past six weeks, we've been able to integrate all the animals - if Bravo's excitement starts to overwhelm the cats we can call him away with confidence that he'll come to us. Ya'll are great!"
