The Educated Dog

Deanne is one of the most patient, educated and understanding dog trainers I've worked with. My little one had separation anxiety and Deanne worked with us on a step by step process of desensitization and while working around my pups threshold. At first, my pup couldn't be left alone for seconds and after two months of training, my little girl is now more confident with her training process and can now be alone for 20 min! I love Deanne's dedication and advocacy with her training.

We love Deanne! When we rescued our dog Marty (malti-poo) it became clear that he had severe separation anxiety. We are so lucky to have found such a wonderful CSAT trainer in Deanne! She is patient, thoughtful, specific and CARES DEEPLY about our baby. Deanne provides support and guidance with daily training missions that we follow every week! We share a google spreadsheet where we work together to document Marty's progress week to week. Part of the program involves a weekly live assessment with Deanne where we check in about our pup and determine a game plan for the next week. Deanne provides custom training, based off of what Marty's behavior is in the moment. Marty used to freak out if we left for just 1 second and now we've seen that he's capable of remaining calm for almost 30 min! Separation Anxiety training can sometimes be a very long road, and we're so grateful for Deanne that she has helped get us to a place where we can see the light at the end of the tunnel for Marty!
