Nancy is a miracle worker. Hands down. No other way to describe it. I brought a very frightened and occasionally fear aggressive Great Pyrenees to her and in such a short time his progress has been nothing short of amazing. I genuinely believed we would have to keep him away from all other dogs except his siblings, turns out he LOVES playing with new friends. We just needed us to know how to handle such a special guy. His confidence has grown in leaps. He is very bonded to me (probably too much so) and she suggested I take a step back and let him bond more with my husband. The excitement this dog shows when Daddy is home now warms my heart. Myself and Baldr Dash my handsome playful boy are both forever indebted to Nancy. Her knowledge and wisdom are unmatched. Oh I completely forgot. He was very thin because he would not eat. Now he happily chomps down each meal and looks amazing at 128 pounds. The first photo of him on me was when we had a visitor in the beginning and he was scared. The rest are my boy now.

Nancy is a miracle worker. Our Corgi Captain would not leave the car due to his fear of people, did not walk well on the leash, has a weight problem, and he was an aggressive biter.

Nancy is a miracle worker. Our Corgi Captain would not leave the car due to his fear of people, did not walk well on the leash, has a weight problem, and he was an aggressive biter. With one in person session and a ton of tactics supplied by Nancy, in a matter of two weeks, he is a different dog. He is a work in progress but thanks to Nancy we are on our way to having a happier and healthier family. Couldn’t be happier with the progress he has made since seeing her.

I took my very fearful, 8 month old Potcake puppy to see Nancy because she was showing aggression toward other dogs while on a leash as well as barking, biting and lunging at the vacuum, jumping on people and chasing the cat. I was feeling defeated and needed help. A friend of mine recommended Nancy so I reached out to her immediately. She was very responsive and made room for us the following week. She spent 2.5 hrs with us and I learned so much I left my paperwork there when I left! Haha. She was able to give me the tools to get Porchie’s attention focused on me instead of the threat. Since our lesson I have been using these tools at home and it’s working beautifully. Porchie is seeking me for safety and no longer tuning me out. I can’t remember the last time she chased the cat or jumped on someone. Most importantly, she really enjoys the training because it’s positive. Nancy said the worst thing you can do with a fearful dog is yell at them, make noise or use inhumane collars. It just heightens their fear and can make them worse. A lot of people are unaware of how just simple body language and redirection can change your dog’s focus. I wish everyone took their dogs to Nancy. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Nancy is truly wise and compassionate - and helped us with our reactive dog when lots of trainers had tried and failed. She has different but scientific and compassionate methods. It is now possible to walk our dog in our neighborhood with safety and often with pleasure. We are so grateful and it was the best money we ever spent.

Nancy has changed our life and saved our dog and our family dynamics! We can’t say enough positive things about our experience with her. Nancy is so knowledgeable on all aspects of animal behavior, breeding, legalities of animal issues, and in her training techniques. She devotes so much time and she really cares about the well being of you and your pet. We had a very aggressive dog - to the point that our vet told us we should put him down. He had bitten seven people, including us. High anxiety, dog aggression, and so many other issues. We couldn’t bear putting him down without trying more. We hired another “trainer” six months prior to no avail. We gave Nancy a call and she changed our whole world. We implemented her suggested changes and noticed marked improvements very quickly. We now have a much more relaxed and stress free home and most importantly, our little dog is so much happier.
