Brooke has been incredible with my reactive dog. He was a very difficult case, and I quickly learned that traditional, strict training methods weren’t going to work for him. Instead of trying to force him into a mold, Brooke took the time to understand his history, genetics, personality, and what makes him happiest as a dog. She created an individual plan based on him and was always willing to adjust when something wasn’t working. What I appreciate most is that Brooke genuinely loves dogs and wants them to be the happiest, healthiest versions of themselves. She doesn’t believe in being strict just for the sake of being strict — she looks for what actually works for the individual dog. A huge part of our work together has been finding positive outlets and adventures that build the relationship between my dog and me. Brooke helped me understand that I may not be able to “cure” his reactivity, but we could find the best solutions for both of us, give him the exercise and enrichment he needs, and help us have a much better relationship. One of the biggest changes has been the dog park. Before working with Brooke, he couldn’t go to a dog park at all. Now, he can safely enjoy it, and it has become his favorite outlet. In fact, he would much rather have that opportunity than take a neighborhood walk on leash — and Brooke helped us recognize and embrace what works best for him. I’m so grateful for Brooke’s patience, creativity, knowledge, and genuine love for dogs. She didn’t just teach my dog commands; she helped me understand my dog and find a way for us to thrive together. I highly recommend her to anyone with a challenging or reactive dog, especially if you’re looking for someone who will truly see your dog as an individual.
