Canine/Feline Behavior Counseling

Marie and Tyson are life savers!! I recently moved from the country to a small town. My dog Reggie was frightening my neighbors in my new residence. She was behaving aggressively and was overly protective. And, she barked at every unfamiliar town-sound. I tried to encourage her toward calm without success. I contacted Marie and Tyson and they came all the way to Strasburg to help. In two visits, they trained me to communicate with Reggie and, as I followed their recommendations, Reggie began to improve and trust the messages I was giving her. Their training was holistic, using aromatherapy, and massage to help Reggie relax. And we changed her diet to promote better health and energy. Reggie has made an amazing recovery from a country, isolated dog to a little town dog. Maybe someday she will be ready for bright lights and big cities, but actually, we are thriving and making new friends right where we are. I can’t thank you enough, Marie and Tyson.

We called Marie out of desperation when we brought our newborn baby home. Our three year old cat was very upset, and getting agressive toward me. He was hissing, biting, and very jealous. Marie was a lifesaver - she spent two hours with us in our home and drafted a plan that we all get comfortable with. After a few weeks of working with him, he began to adapt to his new normal. Happy to say 5 months later we are one happy family again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARIE!

Marie and Tyson have helped immensely with my overly fearful pit-bull, Tessa. When the team first met her she was afraid of all other animals, she would thrash and do back-flips to try to attack before being attacked. The team recommended some supplements and massages that have helped to reduce anxiety for her and truly help to calm in tense situations. With a few months work Tessa can now be around some other dogs and our cat with little to no problem at all! We will continue to work with Marie and Tyson for as longs as it takes to get Tessa fully comfortable in her own skin and strongly recommend their assistance with any pet out there!

Our dog, Zonka, a German Shepherd, was having some problems with fearfulness & we were referred to Marie for evaluation and possible treatment. Marie & Tyson arrived right on schedule & were very well organized and professional. They instilled confidence immediately because it was obvious they knew what they were doing. The evaluation was accomplished quickly with minimal stress to our dog and ourselves. Marie & Tyson put us at ease because we soon realized that they were both dog lovers and wanted to find out what was going on with Zonka and prescribe the help we needed to give Zonka a happier and more relaxed life. Marie was able to analyze Zonka's reasons for the anxiety & gave us several physical & dietary measures to help boost Zonka's confidence and help her be more relaxed. Marie had an extraordinary ability to communicate with Zonka. She was firm and compassionate at the same time. We feel certain that we can learn many useful ways to teach Zonka how to be a more confident and relaxed dog. We were lucky to have found these capable dog behavior counselors. Group classes are also available, which we plan to attend this weekend.
