Aunt Karen's Dog Behavior WNC

I am not new to dog training or positive dog training. I drove from Delaware in an attempt to get live (not virtual) help from Karen for my Golden Retriever who has been managed, but reactive toward other dogs for seven years. My life has been limited by my fear of her repeating what I thought of as attacks (although no dog was hurt). Karen helped me see her reactions differently, and honed in on re-examining the specifics. My “protection” (even while using reactivity protocol). has been a non-supportive, fearful non-verbal communication. Karen took positive training off the charts as she showed me how to believe in and communicate better with my Golden Retriever. Within a short time in our second lesson, my dog was lying down with her Malenois. Karen is a Behaviorist extraordinaire . . . A miracle worker.

Aunt Karen is a true professional in her field! She’s a master at reading dog behavior and used a customized approach that worked specifically what my dog needed. My 1yr old pittie mix is a ball of energy and Karen helped us work on leash reactivity, and building our bond so we could communicate better overall. She’s a wealth of knowledge and shared many resources and skills with us. She’s also very kind and checked in regularly about how things were going! Thank you so much Karen!

I was looking for a behavioralist to help with my pups anxiety, fear, and sometimes aggression issues with other dogs. I contacted several other behavioralists before entrusting Karen with helping my pup. The primary factor was that more so than others, Karen was easily able to articulate common issues and her approach to treatment. From the first visit to the most recent, Karen was intentional, calm, and prepared allowing for rapid progress. While my pup still has a long ways to go, we were able to see results in a very short period of time and set the path for a better future for Rex, whom, for the most part has had to be separated from other dogs due to his behavioral issues. Thank you!
