The Life of Riley

Wendy consulted with us regarding anxiety and urinating outside of the litter box with one of the cats in our multi-cat household. She also took a look at the other cats. Wendy was knowledgeable, kind and nonjudgmental. She provided great information and relevant tools which are helping us to deal with our little ones in a therapeutic way. We’ve implemented most of Wendy’s suggestions and are noting less anxiety and more desirable behavior. The litter box issues are markedly improved!!! I would definitely recommend Wendy!!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Wendy. Wendy, you are truly gifted when it comes to pets/animals. Wendy came to our home, worked with us & our 3 kids & 2 Scottish terriers. She taught us so much! She gave us hope that our dog would have a happy life. . She taught us how to read dog’s body language to know what situations trigged his fear. She guided us to a full understanding of what positive reinforcement training really was & how to implement it to help our dogs live their best lives. Wendy we can’t thank you enough for putting us on the right track. Fergus & Wallace thank you too!!

Wendy is fantastic! Our golden retriever puppy, Rosie, needed guidance and so did we! Wendy equipped us with the knowledge and confidence to get Rosie to listen to us and learn what it is we wanted her to do at any given time. We wanted more than just teaching Rosie to “sit” and “stay.” Wendy helped us potty train, keep Rosie out of trash, stop chewing rugs, get Rosie to settle/be calm around our toddler and house visitors, refrain from jumping on visitors and on people she meets on walks and much much more! It is simply amazing. The first session with Wendy was absolutely transforming. Six sessions in and with lots of practice, we saw great progress with our little rascal! Reach out to Wendy today!

I am first time dog owner and the transition was made so much easier with Wendy’s help. She is very patient, has a wealth of information and really cares about your dog. We went over basic commands, socialization, what toys to get and proper way to use toys, and many, many other subjects. She provided me with so much more help than just basic dog training. She teaches strictly through positive reinforcement and it was very insightful for me to see that approach. I wish I had use that more with my kids growing up lol. I bought her 6 lesson puppy package and that gave me the tools and confidence to continue training my dog by myself, though I might call upon her services again in the future for specific purposes.

Wendy is a wonderful trainer! Our puppy was ready to work with her and stayed very focused for a 5 month old puppy! She was so happy to see Wendy every time she came to our home! Wendy is professional and caring. It is very obvious that she loves animals and they love her! She follows up with all the details of each training session via email in a timely manner. She also can recommend everything you need for your dog from treats to harnesses and even a mobile dog groomer who is outstanding with puppies. Another thing she offers at no additional charge, is a puppy socialization class. This was wonderful for our puppy to get the opportunity to play with other puppies. This is so important because you never know how your dog will react to other dogs and this is the perfect, controlled environment! I highly recommend Wendy and The Life of Riley for all your training needs! She is truly the Dog Whisperer! We loved working with her!
