FirstBarkI would highly recommend Robyn. We adopted a dog that was in a hoarding situation. I started with a phone consultation with Robyn that was amazing. She came out for a visit and my entire family learned so much, including giving him a bath at home!

Robin came out to the house to help us with our new puppy and she was wonderful. She gave us great strategies to encourage the behaviors we are looking for.

Robyn is fantastic! If you want to improve the environment in your home, and build a better understanding of your dog, you will not regret having Robyn in your corner! After just one visit to our home, we have already seen transformational change with our new 6 month old German Shepherd puppy. The dog already had very anxious tendencies on many levels. This included constant chasing our 2 cats, pacing around the house, always craving our attention or forcing high energy play with our 5 year old dog etc. This all caused her to never relax in the house, meaning we never were able to relax. It had already been a very draining experience and we knew we needed assistance. Our constant yelling and scolding at her was not changing her behavior, only elevating the situation and increasing the level of chaos in our home. Robyn approaches this work from a holistic standpoint, focusing on the relationship between human and dog to create lasting behavioral change. We are extremely grateful for her expertise and would highly recommend her services.

Our dog, Marty is a rescue from an Amish puppy mill where she lived for six years. She’s very skittish and wouldn’t let my husband touch her so I contacted Robyn. Our training with K9 Mama was a huge success!! A breakthrough. Within two hours, Marty let my husband pet her for the first time since bringing her home! Robyn taught us a ton of awesome methods to calm Marty. I absolutely loved her approach about calming the dog’s fears especially since Marty is such a sweet, little anxious dog. We all learned a lot about each other and will be a better pack. Robyn is a miracle worker. I highly recommend her for any dog training. 💕🐾🐶
