Nellie has been truly amazing and has made a huge impact on Feisty, my working line German Shepherd, who has always struggled with anxiety, dog aggression and stubbornness. We focused on basic commands like sit, stay, and come, but also worked on more complex tasks that keep his mind sharp; foos in a circular manner, “down” or “place” while other dogs are around or even to relax my dogs mind while in a highly noisy/ distraction area. I noticed a marked improvement in his response time and confidence. Nellie provided tailored strategies for me in managing my dog's anxiety, incorporating desensitization techniques and calming exercises. This really helped her feel more secure during training sessions. Nellie has been great at explaining why certain techniques were effective, which helped me understand how to reinforce the training at home. In addition, if I feel something isn’t working, I can reach out to Nellie anytime and she will respond on how I should work with Feisty. Overall, the experience has been transformative. My Feisty is more confident, responsive, and relaxed. If you’re dealing with a high-anxiety dog or dog with dog aggression, I highly recommend Nellie who understands these specific challenges. Nellie has been truly amazing!!
