We adopted our dog Goldie in late August of last year. We thought we were doing well because we had dogs from puppies all our lives. This time was different though. Everything was backwards for her. Everything we did seemed to stress her out more. Then early this summer we had some unbelievable thunderstorms back to back and it left all of Goldie’s nerves frayed. My instinct was to give her more time and attention but that only made things worse. After researching what I could do for her, I reached out to Robyn. She was patient with me and listened. Her suggestions were spot on. My husband and I both agreed to just give her space, almost to the point of ignoring her. And it’s working. She is looking more comfortable now and alert. It’s a different process with a dog that you don’t know what their past traumas are. Patient waiting seems backwards but for Goldie it’s what she needs. Thank you Robyn Laura M.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Robyn! She is not only an incredible trainer but also a truly kind and caring person. Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. Our puppy, Mac, adored her, and we all gained so much knowledge and confidence from our lessons. Robyn’s calm, patient approach and deep understanding of canine behavior made the training experience both effective and enjoyable. If you’re considering lessons, don’t hesitate—working with Robyn will be life-changing for both you and your dog. We recommend her 1000%!
