I don't trust many people to take the leash of my beloved pets, but Dana Brigman has given me invaluable help with two of my reactive dogs. Both resided with her for a two week board and train, and Dana followed up with several in-person sessions. She is always willing to answer questions and offer support.
I also subscribe to an online course that she has provided. I watch the video lessons, do the work and then send back videos that she will critique. I feel like my dogs and I have made a friend forever, she is truly interested in the progress of my dogs even years after providing the initial services.
I feel that my pets are safe with her not only because of her amazing handling skills, but also because we have similar opinions on diet and health. She sees the animal as a whole, not a set of problems to solve. Highly recommended!
