Robin gave us some great tips on keeping are very strong willed dogs happy and getting along. She told us things we were doing right and things we needed to change. She was able to answer all of our questions with informative responses. She stayed with us for almost 4 hours watching the dogs in their own environment. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is having behavioral issues with their pups.

Robin is very knowledgeable and shares so much information. I learned a lot about canine behavior that I never knew including some myths . She took out my dog and demonstrated how to change behavior. Learning so much about the behaviors and reasons was so helpful. Well worth the small expense for a happy pet.

Robyn taught me how to keep my 6 year old lab mix from pulling me towards other dogs on walks in an aggressive manner. It made walks with him very unpredictable. He’s strong and pulling so hard sometimes I thought I would get hurt. Robyn taught me skills to keep him in control. In just 3 hours, I learned so much from her. It’s changed the way I relate to my dog and I understand so much more about dogs and how they are wired. Great experience!

After just ONE session with Robyn there was a monumental difference in my dog. Robyn not only addresses specific behaviors, but looks at your holistically to identify everything needed to help them/the owner be successful!!! My dog genuinely seems happier/less stressed after just a few days of implementing what Robyn taught us - what a gift!!! I am so thankful and excited to continue watching his progress!
