Cheryl is an extraordinary dog trainer. She brings many strengths to bear--deep and wide knowledge of dogs and different ways of approaching the behavior you are seeking, excellent communication, commitment to the client and dog shown through detailed follow-up and creativity, and varied and vast resources to support her recommendations. I especially appreciate Cheryl's open and learning attitude--she is clearly a curious and life-long learner herself. Our dog, Tova, a deeply frightened and shy dog, has been slowly blossoming under Cheryl's guidance. We are grateful.

Giffy Dog was recommended to us by a friend - and we'll definitely be passing the recommendation along to anyone looking for help with dog training! Cheryl was compassionate, understanding, easy to work with, and provided us with a ton of tangible next steps as we move through the journey with our fearful/aggressive rescue pup. We look forward to continuing to work with her!

Truly excellent trainer! We adopted a dog who had been in a puppy mill and came with a ton of trauma. Cheryl taught our dog how to walk on a leash, live in a home, do stairs, and begin to trust humans. Cheryl is great with all types of dogs, but in particular those who are fearful and shy. She gave us the tools and resources we needed to be successful with our sweet girl and to give her the life that she always deserved.
