I called Robyn after moving into my boyfriend's place with my 5 year old rescue Chihuahua as she's been having a hard time defaulting to him as her caretaker while I'm away at work. Robyn's extensive knowledge on the "why" behind her behavior was so helpful and made a tricky situation become so much clearer to us. Her ideas are super thought-out to fit our unconventional schedules, her explanations were concise, and she's so down to earth that it made the whole experience very comforting. I'm really, really happy we found her and have her additional support with this transition

I have 3 dogs, two Havanese and one Cocker Spaniel. My cocker spaniel is 3.5 months old and partially blind/fully deaf. Robyn was wonderful at helping us train him with sign language! I was so amazed at how quickly she was able to teach him and for him to learn basic obedience and recall. We also worked on recall with my other two dogs as well as continued their obedience training. She gave wonderful and helpful resources catered to each pup which was amazing. I have tried many different trainers for my two Havanese and I have never seen them so comfortable with a trainer before! I am so excited to continue our work at home until we see Robyn again!

K9 Mama came to our house to help us with recent aggressiveness between our dogs. She watched our dogs and us interact and offered suggestions for possible solutions based on our specific pups and our lifestyle. She also provided us with follow up notes and summaries. Robyn sent us links to numerous resources to help us be great dog parents and create a peaceful home. We have already been able to implement many of her simple suggestions that have helped our dogs and us! Thank you Robyn. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs any assistance with their pets.
My dog and I had an amazing visit and training session with Robyn (K9 Mama). She was kind, empathetic to our situation, and extremely knowledgeable. She has helped us tremendously and 500% recommended. Thank you, Robyn!!
