Testimonial 84 - Yennefer

I've been working with Mary for a couple months on my dog's reactivity to other big dogs and in just a little over a month, we've seen tremendous improvement! Yennefer used to stare hard at other dogs, growl, bark, and/or lunge if they were too close or the other dogs growled or barked at her. It made walking her a challenge and we avoided walking towards or passing other dogs on walks.

It's not perfect yet, but after working on Mary's recommended training methods 2-3 times a day on walks/at home, we're able to go on walks without her barking/lunging at other dogs! She can even tolerate another dog barking at her as we walk past now which is amazing.

Walks used to be stressful (for both my dog and me!), but now we can enjoy our time outside! Yen has been listening to commands better/quicker. I think overall, our relationship has improved significantly, which contributes to our success! I'm so happy her reactivity training is going so well and positively bleeding into other parts of our lives!

I plan on continuing to work with Mary on Yennefer's high arousal levels and greeting manners. Overall, I think Mary's training methods have improved my relationship with my dog where she's responding to training a lot faster and more willingly. This has been a game changer for us and we look forward to working with Mary more!
