Denise Mazzola's Everything Dog

I am writing this review to express my sincere gratitude for Denise Mazzola’s “Revealing Your Dream Dog” course I recently took. I was at my wit's end with my dog's reactivity issues and social pressures from friends and neighbors. This course has been a lifesaver, and I cannot thank the Denise, Amy and the other participants enough for their support and guidance. Before taking the course, I was struggling to manage my dog's reactivity to other dogs and people. She would become very anxious and would often bark, lunge, or even snap. I was becoming increasingly worried about taking her out in public, and I felt like I was losing control of (and somehow contributing to) a growing situation. I was intrigued in by Denise’s “It’s not your fault” message on a Facebook video. I hoped that the course would provide me with the tools and strategies I needed to help my dog overcome her reactivity. And I am so glad that I did! The course was incredibly comprehensive and informative. The instructor covered everything from the basics of how dog’s learn, to how to how they communicate through body language and how to read it. The incorporation of Kim Brophey’s book “Meet Your Dog” taught me so much about how to understand my dog's triggers and how to help her feel more comfortable in different situations. In addition to the valuable information provided in the course, I was also grateful for the ongoing support from the Facebook group and the Zoom calls. The Facebook group was a great place to connect with other dog owners who were also dealing with reactivity issues. We were able to share our experiences, offer each other support, and celebrate our successes. The Zoom calls were also very helpful. Denise and Amy would use the Zoom calls to check in (and Facebook group) with us individually and to provide personalized feedback. This was so helpful for me, as it allowed me to get specific advice for my dog's unique situation. I am so grateful for the Revealing Your Dream Dog course. It has been an invaluable resource for me, and it has helped me to transform my relationship with my dog. My dog is now so much calmer and more confident, and I am no longer afraid to take her out in public. I highly recommend this course.

This is a great class! Amy made it fun, informative and challenging enough for each team to keep everyone’s interest! Everything was set up for success: limited number of dogs, delineated space for each dog/human team, distracting activities for the dogs while the humans listened, tasks broken down into easy steps. All communications from logistics to teaching skills were very clear. The best part is that everything is POSITIVE! I’ve had many dogs and have attempted training programs in the past that felt punitive (choke collars) or were too elaborate (clicker training) and I never applied the procedure. This class was just right and I use what I learned every day —many times! Thank you, Amy!

We had an awesome class with Amy for Basic Manners. Haley is our second golden that we took a class with her. The class is fun, and Haley fit right in. Tough to end when the hour is up! It was a refresher course for us, and it was so helpful. Amy does a great job of explaining what we need to do to make training a fun and beneficial experience. We highly recommend any of their classes. Thank you again from Haley and Phoenix (our 7-year-old) who took the puppy kindergarten class, years ago! Julie and Andrew

As a dog trainer myself, it can be hard to impress me with somebody else’s training, but Amy came through and was a fantastic instructor. I like that she is a science-based trainer, using positive reinforcement techniques. I was also impressed that she was able to communicate in language that everybody understood, giving just enough information without overwhelming everyone. My new little rescue and I enjoyed the class, and we made good progress on her skills. I would highly recommend Amy’s classes to anyone looking for a qualified, highly skilled instructor. You’ll make great progress AND have fun!

Everything Dog is incredible; we have had many trainers and attended many online seminars. Thank goodness we saw and responded to a post from Everything Dog about a free webinar. This was one of the best decisions we have made as far as dog training. We ended up signing up for a 6 month course and it was worth every penny. The course includes work sheets, study material and a plethora of video courses to learn from and help through the training journey, also the private Facebook group, zoom calls with Denise, Amy and the other participants in the class and the bonus zoom calls with one of the nations best behaviorists, Kim Brophey and the ability to upload videos and get same day feedback. This was the most all inclusive course we have ever done. Of course if you are looking for great results like we had, you must be committed to the training and working with your dogs. We have 3 Newfoundlands and 6 months ago we started the program with thinking that our only possibility was to rehome our 4 year old Newf. Approximately 2 years ago he became reactive and aggressive towards our senior 12 1/2 year old Newf and wanted to kill him. We have had to keep the 4 year old separated from the senior guy through good safety management in the house and a series of gates. Our other Newf is 6 years old and gets along with everyone and is timid around the 4 year old. at the beginning of this course the 4-year-old did not play well with others and was bullying the 6-year-old. With the techniques and tools that we learned this is pretty much a. thing of the past. The reactivity and excessive barking is at least 90% controlled know. I consider these 6 months a complete success and by far one of the best investments we have made, and we have lifetime access to the online training course and videos. For anyone thinking that the only thing to do is rehome your dog, dont give up, reach out to Denise and Amy at Everything Dog You will not regret it.
