Erin has been part of our family for five years, since my older dog Kingsley was just four months old. Under her tutelage and care, Kingsley went from a nervous pup to a confident fella who suits up to train, from the basics to tricks. We joke that Erin is his happy place, but it’s true. When we brought him our pup Hugo a couple months ago, Erin jumped right into helping us make Hugo feel comfortable in the city and socialized to his new home and brother and everything else that came with it. Erin is that special person who knows how to train dogs and their people, in a way that makes their people feel good about their dog parenting skills. (Just ask her about my puppy parent meltdowns.) One of the more amazing things Erin did was set the boys up for success in their relationship with co-training. Because of her expert work, we have two well-behaved dogs who love each other, love life, and love her!

Erin is fantastic. We just started working together and she is the best balance of kind and informative. She is engaging, observant, and very easy to talk to. I especially appreciate her ability to meet our dog where he is and not make us feel bad for having to do things like tie her shoes outside the door (so she wouldn’t lean over him and spook him). She was extremely thorough in our initial session and gave us very tangible takeaways. We look forward to continuing to work together.
