We are looking forward to a more controlled dog environment with Poppi! Training has started! We have the information, now to implement!!

5/5

Excellent meeting with Clarissa. She was great with our dog and provided information that can help him. Without hesitation I would contact her again if I have any issue with my dog or if I add to our pack in the future. I encourage everyone to call her. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Clarissa!

5/5

Clarissa was not only educational to me about the way dogs think/works, she showed her work in action with my baby in the home. She was able to explain how my dog is controlling me and not the opposite way and she openly showed how it her practice works. Would highly recommend working with her, even if you don't see "issues" but more to understand the way you can be an even better pet parent!

I was skeptical of the training methods at first, but the results were undeniable. No more frustration with our sweet dog jumping for attention. My dog now comes to work at my physical therapy clinic regularly and can go anywhere she’s allowed in public without behavioral concerns. I would not have been able to accomplish this level of training without understanding the hierarchy model. Only took one session at my home.

She was super insightful about how to think like a dog. Look forward to seeing the changes in my puppy going forward!
