Denise Mazzola's Everything Dog

Amy and Denise have been a game changer for us and I cant recommend them enough. - They take a holistic approach to looking at what is going on and how they can find balance between the owner and dog to create the type of relationship you are looking for. - They give straightforward personalized advice to fit your dogs needs. - They are supportive during the process and beyond, and provide a very calm grounding energy. - Just nice down to earth people who love dogs! We will continue to work with Amy and Denise as things come up, and I recommend them to everyone who needs assistance big or small.

Everything Dog truly provides everything for you and your dog. Denise is a beloved extended family member. She taught us the art of training our 4-legged children by respecting who they are. We began working with Denise before bringing Henry and Mabel home. Thanks to Denise's training methods, our bullies were a quick study to potty training, walking on a leash, coming when called, sitting, and going to their kennel. Having raised bulldogs in the past, we knew the challenges. We know the stubborn. From day one Denise helped us to understand they why of any behavior so we could better establish how to reflect, redirect and help adjust it. She taught us how to consistently establish boundaries, use positive reinforcement and most importantly to respect the psychology of who are dogs are. THEIR AGENDA NOT YOURS. We echo her words to ourselves daily. Henry and Mabel are tried and true stubborn and loveable English bulldogs. Brother and Sister, they have very different personalities. Denise has taught us to navigate each one's likes and dislikes and to respect their agendas. At 5 months Henry began displaying reactivity. If he wanted something and we took it away from him, he would lunge and bite. He would attack the broom and then us if we took it away. He reacted to an electric screwdriver, sharpening a knife in the kitchen and opening a tape measure. His behavior was so unpredictable, and aggressive we knew if not corrected, he could never be left alone with anyone, and he would have to be watched at all times. We were fearful the behavior could not be corrected, and we would have to put him down. Denise taught us his fear and flood of his own emotions resulted in his acting out. In one day, Denise taught us techniques to address the behavior. Within 24 hours, I was able to vacuum the floor while Henry watched. Henry continues to learn how to process how he feels when something scares him, and he respond to commands without lashing out. Denise is Everything to us and to our Dogs. Training never stops. We can't thank her enough. -- Erica, Rich, Henry & Mabel

My dog is a 3 year old hound rescued from Virginia who developed reactivity/fear issues. I worked with Denise through individual at home sessions and the Dream Dog Course. Both experiences were a great success! My dog is now more relaxed, happy and confident. Denise aided me in understanding how to manage her environment and learn how to respond to her undesirable behaviors in a consistent and positive way. Denise is very knowledgeable of dog behaviors, helping you understand why dogs do the things they do. I can't thank her enough for the positive impact she has had in both our lives!

I have used Everything Dog several times in the last 6 years, with different pups and behavior issues, and each time am so glad I did. Both Denise and Amy provide such helpful advice, and have given me the tools to better understand and communicate with my dogs. They have been partners in my goal of providing the best possible care and life for my pups, and I am grateful for the service they provide. Amy was incredibly helpful last year when I was dealing with a scary bout of aggression between two of my dogs. With her help and support, my family was able to make changes for the safety and well-being of all of our four dogs. We are now living happily aggression-free and having gained the tools so that something like this will hopefully never happen again. Thank you, Everything Dog, for the amazing service that you provide!

I adopted a two year old rescue dog in December and knew immediately that I wanted to sign her up for training sessions as she was nervous and terrified of everything. I contacted Everything Dog and got a consultation appointment with Amy quickly. Amy spent two hours with me in that first consultation asking about my goals for training, learning about my new dog and my other dog, and my home/habits. We had several training sessions after that both in my home and out in public. I found these sessions extremely beneficial to both myself and my new dog. I feel like I got as much training as my pup! Amy helped me better understand my dog's behavior and teach her basic skills and confidence. Amy is professional, knowledgeable, and patient. I highly recommend Everything Dog whether you are looking to train an older rescue dog or puppy.
