We have been working Eileen for almost 2 years now and I cannot say enough good things about her. I think you would be hard pressed to find someone as dedicated to your pets as she is. We brought our dog to Eileen to work on his leash reactivity. She taught us ways we could deal with it using positive reinforcement that have proven effective. She also made the connection between his digestive issues and his behavior. We had worked with a few other trainers previously and no one else had brought that to our attention. She helped us understand how much his general health influences his behavior. I suppose if I had diarrhea all the time I would be grumpy too. This is one thing that I really appreciate and must emphasize- she looks at your pet’s well-being broadly and holistically. She keeps current not only on training methods, but on what the latest science tells us about or dogs mentally and physically. Generally you will find trainers who focus on training, and vets who focus on specific medical issues. Eileen is a problem solver who is able to bridge the gap. I also want to commend her for attention to detail. When you meet her for a second time she will remember what occurred in your first session. She is also very good at following up and checking in on your dog. Don’t hesitate to contact her!

We cannot recommend Eileen enough! We’ve been working with her to train our 11-month-old corgi, Merlin, and we’ve seen such a huge shift in his behavior. Merlin is a sweet but anxious boy, and Eileen’s positive reinforcement training was exactly what he needed. She was particularly helpful in addressing his resource guarding of puzzles. She gave us a straightforward training protocol that helped us build trust with Merlin and get rid of the guarding issues. Seeing Merlin’s progress and growing confidence has been so rewarding. Eileen is simply the best!

If you're looking for a trainer and have found Eileen, book the training session! My dog, Murphy, has been going through a challenging phase as she's entered her "teenage" years. I noticed she was becoming hesitant and fearful in situations that she's encountered before, along with being easily distracted on walks. My goal was to ensure she remained confident as she transitioned into adulthood. I was initially hesitant to book a training session via Zoom, skeptical about how much guidance I would be able to receive through a call. I was surprised to find out that Eileen can, and does, learn a ton about your dog through this session. She asked insightful questions to learn about Murphy's personality, and really listened to my concerns. She provided practical tips that I could implement immediately, which led to noticeable improvement in Murphy's behavior within days. I decided to move forward and book in person sessions, and I'm so glad I did. Eileen is not only a pleasure to be around, she's patient and incredibly knowledgeable. Over the course of the last month, in just a few sessions with her (and many hours of Murphy and I implementing her guidance), I'm consistently seeing an upward trend in desirable behaviors from Murphy with her confidence returning. Eileen was also a huge help in furthering my understanding of Murphy's hip dysplasia, recommending gentler, low-impact activities that would keep Murphy engaged while not putting too much stress on her joints. If you're looking for a dedicated trainer who truly cares about dogs and their well-being, Eileen is the one to call. Thank you, Eileen, for everything you do!

We adopted a new dog who we found out had some resource guarding and stranger danger issues, making it tough to introduce her to new people and even led to her biting us. We found Eileen through our vet and in just 10 sessions and diligent work at home doing the exercises she taught us, we have a whole new dog. Eileen is professional, kind, and (of course) incredible with our dog. I recommend her to anyone who needs some help with their new furry friend and is willing to put in the work!

Our family was going through a hard time with the passing of our dog, Boston. We were facing some challenges with our girl, Lola, and our new addition, Amado. Lola was really not herself anymore after losing her brother and adopting our new boy didn’t seem to help her. We did a consultation with Eileen at the recommendation of our vet. After a few months of sessions with Eileen, we were able to get Lola completely back to her old self and even more calm and confident. Eileen has also helped us train our new boy, Amado, who turns out to be much younger than the shelter said. With that there are new challenges but nothing we can’t handle with the help of Eileen! She is knowledgeable and really understands dog body language and behavior. She has seen it all. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to train a puppy, overcome doggy depression/anxiety, and any other behavioral issues. I also love that she does zoom sessions because it makes it so much easier on me and also helps her see how the dogs behave in their own environment.
