Pawsitive Reinforcement Pet Training

I cannot recommend Heather highly enough. When we first contacted her, we were struggling with our cat Penny - a previously stray cat we'd taken in who showed severe aggression toward our other cats. Penny would silently attack any cat she encountered without warning - the kind of serious, dangerous aggression that made us wonder if she'd ever be able to live safely with the rest of our household. Heather's approach was comprehensive, professional, and incredibly effective. She was upfront and honest that nothing can be guaranteed when working with living beings and that rehoming was a possible outcome. She listened to our desire to move forward with treatment and developed a detailed plan that addressed every aspect of Penny's behavioral issues, from needing an extended decompression period, to environmental modifications, and a systematic desensitization protocol. She encouraged us to consult with our vet about possible behavioral medications which we did. The results speak for themselves: Penny went from being a cat who couldn't be in the same room as others without attacking, to successfully living alongside seven other cats! The transformation took time and patience, but Heather's protocol worked beautifully. Each introduction became easier than the last, and Penny now spends all of her day peacefully coexisting with the entire household (2 adults, 8 cats and 1 dog). Five stars - truly exceptional compassionate service and expertise!

We contacted Heather for help with our dog and our two new kittens, making sure that the kittens were safe around him and that they could live together comfortably. It was overwhelmingly obvious how well Heather understood and could translate both dog and cat body language, and we saw an immediate positive impact for our dog because of it. We started some dog training and she guided us on training technique and corrected mistakes we had made with training before. I'd easily recommend her to anyone looking for a pet trainer!
