Robyn helped us learn how to understand our new shelter rescue dog's language. We were given the "rules" to follow so that everyone knows their place in the household and the dog can be given permission to relax and just be a dog instead of always alert and anxious. She spent an entire afternoon at our home and made sure to demonstrate any training exercise we wanted to practice from teaching basic tricks to walking without pulling to practicing recall on a 100ft leash! My dog was visibly much more relaxed after we implemented Robyn's training. She also responded very quickly to my email and texts. Highly recommended!

Robyn is the absolute best!! She helped me tame my rambunctious little corgis. Her training and coping skills have allowed me to handle them without the stress. I would recommend to anyone in need of help with their pups!

Robyn came over to my house for the entire afternoon last week. She educated my whole family and even included the little children in the training. Her method not only trained my dog but my whole family as well! She focuses on the relationship with you and your dog and staying present in the moment while training your dog. I wish I knew all of this when my children were little because it would of helped out with parenting as well!! We are so appreciative toward Robyn and highly recommend her and her training method.

Working with Robyn was such a wonderful experience. We had a fearful rescue that became very reactive to dogs and nervous of visitors. She would growl and bark like crazy, we could barely walk with her anymore and had to lock her up when we had visitors. After reading about Robyn and the method she uses; we knew she would be perfect for us. We purchased the foundation academy and it was full of so much wonderful information. Her program was truly life changing. We look at our little Cleo in a totally different light. After a few weeks of implementing Robyns relationship work we now have a dog that trusts us enough to walk past other dogs with no reaction. We also have had several visitors over and our little Cleo is able to stay calm and relaxed. We are so thankful we found Robyn and highly recommend her to anyone wanting to understand their dog on a new level.
