I've seen tremendous improvement in our communication since we started working with Sandy. This has greatly helped us build a more understanding and peaceful relationship. My dog suffers from anxiety, as do I, and improving our communication has been essential. Sandy has taught me to respect my dog's communication and to work with it. Every single meeting with Sandy has brought new insights into how to better understand my dog and how better to set her up for success. R.S.

Our dog was loving with people but wary and aggressive with other dogs. Sandy showed us proper leash skills and how to help her become more comfortable with other dogs. Right away we started to see a difference. I now feel more confident and less stressed walking our dog around other dogs. Sandy clearly loves dog but she's also wonderful with their owners! She was gentle, kind, informative, resourceful, patient, and encouraging with both of us. K.H.

My dog barked at people, other dogs, and cars every time I took him for a walk. He got worse as he got older and I found myself only able to walk him later in the evening when no one else was out. Things had to change. Sandy taught me that he is trying to meet his needs for safety and distance by barking and reacting. I am learning to help him meet those needs in better, more acceptable ways. Sandy is a fantastic trainer and natural teacher - personable, positive, encouraging, and very knowledgeable. F.G.
