FirstBarkThis was our first time hiring a dog trainer for a rescue dog that was not adoptable due to his aggression in the shelter. Robyn came over and provided a lot of great tools for us to use and help with how we are going to introduce him to our other dog. She made things easy to understand and we feel more confident with the work we need to do now!

We had our phone consult with Robyn last week and just finished our 1st workshop with her today. What a wealth of information she is! Grateful we have found her for our two dogs. We are so excited to practice what we have learned and move forward with her.
Robyn is the best! She worked with our corgi to put his harness on and showed us methods to help with this. Now it’s a success every time. Also helped with calm walks, and some food agression. He’s really turning the corner to be a happy and well behaved adult dog! Keep Robyn in mind for all of your dogs behavioral needs.
This behavioral specialist was able to give me insight about my dog most vet clinics wouldn’t consider. You can tell they do this work purely for the love and compassion of animals which is so important, I highly recommend.
Robyn was wonderful with my dog! I learned so much about his behavior and what to do in so many situations. This will definitely help me going forward to have a better relationship with my dog. Robyn was kind, on time and attentive to my dog. Spent over four hours with us! Gave me such invaluable tools to use going forward. Would recommend.
