Becca is amazing! When we first got our puppy, we loved her but she was a neurotic TERROR! Becca would come over for training and patiently work through options that would work for our pup. Eventually, Becca found strategies that worked for us and our dog. Basically, we have a different dog after Becca worked with us. And our dog still remembers Becca when we see her around town - the love there is real! I have recommended Becca to very friend with a puppy and will continue to do so!
Becca is an amazing trainer and our rescue dog is learning so much in such a short amount of time. We are thrilled with the results and look forward working with her in the near future.

Absolutely, the BEST decision we could have made for help with our dogs. Our new pups presented behavioral challenges by the time they were two, especially when interacting with our older dogs. After meeting our crazy crew, Becca was able to quickly assess each of their personalities (they're all nuts!) and started with behavior modification sessions. The sessions are fun, informative, and full of energy and her suggested followup homework is easy to follow and practice. We're amazed at how much our dogs love it. We noticed a drastic improvement in just a few sessions! Becca taught us to recognize behavioral cues with our pups and more importantly, how to react positively with them in order to reinforce a desired behavior. We've learned so much about what motivates our pups and how to keep them engaged. We highly recommend Becca and BlackDog Behavior & Training. It will be the best decision you could ever make.
Becca is truly an amazing trainer. She is incredibly patient and supportive,; and not just with the dogs, but with us humans, as well. What stood out to us the most is Becca's knowledge of dogs and puppies. She develops such thoughtful plans to build on our training, and in turn, she brought out the best in our puppy and in ourselves. We cannot recommend her highly enough!
