Finally, a dog trainer that WORKS! I tried to self-educate reading and watching Caesar, Doggy Dan, and Brandon McMillan. Nada. We adopted an “easy” dog from the human society 18 months ago who was not easy. She soiled in the house, was dog aggressive on her walks, and filled with anxiety. Not having dealt with an anxious dog before, we tried so many gentle methods, but weren’t getting a consistent result. What I love about Belinda is that she teaches you dog psychology so you better understand what your pet is experiencing and what they need from you to do what you’re asking. And she also teaches YOU the correct process for training (and how consistency and LOTS of repetition is essential). In our case, we were expecting our anxious dog to get the cues we were used to giving to the non-anxious dogs we’ve had through the years. Yet, those tried and true cues were not her language. We had to learn her language…once we did. MAGIC! We have just returned from a five week road trip where we took our anxious dog everywhere - six different AirBnBs and not one accident! Hiking, public areas…no dog aggression. The only time she freaked is when she saw a cat running across the road - gotta give her that one as a pass - that’s a hard situation not to want to chase. It will be our next opportunity to work on together. Thanks Belinda! We have a great dog and now she has great manners,too!
