After a run-in with a neighborhood cat through our patio door's window, our cat started exhibiting aggressive behaviors towards our kids- unpredictably chasing, pouncing, and scratching when they moved past him. When it continued to escalate despite our attempts to stop him, we contacted our vet and she referred us to Nancy. Working closely with our vet, Nancy helped us formulate a program using positive training and exercise that he needed to reduce his activity and reactivity. Nancy gathered a lot of detailed information from us, and spent lots of time discussing the situation with us, formulating a plan, and explaining things to us in detail. With her guidance and collaboration with our vet, we have been able to work hard to implement the program she put together for us, and our cat has not exhibited aggressive behavior in over two years. We are so grateful to Nancy for helping us address our cat's behavior- he is a beloved member of our family and we are thankful that we can all feel safe and comfortable together!

All thanks be to Nancy!!! We had fighting Scotty’s. Our boys who had been with each other for over 2 years started fighting and ended with vet visits. It was so emotionally draining on the family as well as them. We had come to our wits end and by the grace of our vet was referred to Nancy. She made no promises of making them friends, just gave us advice to get to the root of the problem and how to manage with it. Well, with all the advice and dedication to do what we needed to do to help our boys feel safe and calm I can proudly say it has helped!! We have been fight free for months now. We will continue to be on guard and keep doing all the special needs to help our babies. These guys (and gals) are our furbabies!! I can’t recommend Nancy enough!!!!

Wow, with just a few small changes that Nancy suggested and my house is once again peaceful! With 4 dogs you can imagine the chaos that ensued on a daily basis. And one of my dogs, Benny, was usually the cause. Benny is a rescue who endured tragic abuse before coming to us several years ago. He was behaving aggressively toward the other dogs and was fearful of everything. Thankfully my vet recommended Nancy. I provided Nancy with many details of the situation and worked hard to follow her recommendations. Benny stopped threatening immediately and is on his way to a calmer new Benny – and the other dog are relieved too! Benny is a gentle soul who had a rough start and I am so thankful to be helping him in the way that he needs!

We were totally at a loss on what to do with our sweet girl, Chloe when there was a total change in her behavior. She was attacking our other 3 dogs and we had no idea how to stop it or why it was happening. She also would bite at my hands when I would go to open the patio door to let her out. Our Vet even recommended that we rehome her! We tried the advice of a trainer we had used for puppy classes and that wasn't working! Luckily we found Nancy! Nancy made us understand that Chloe was actually fearful of the other dogs. Under the guidance of Nancy we learned management and counterconditioning techniques. Chloe is making progress and our home has Peace and Harmony once again. It takes work but we are at a point of No more attacks, so worth it! We are still a "work in progress, she is working hard for us" but the idea of having to rehome this sweet gentle soul did not work for me.

Rosie is our 4th rescue dog. Our previous rescue dogs had their various issues, but we knew we needed professional help for Rosie to have a good quality of life. Patience and love weren't enough to help her anxiety and fear. Our first trainer instructed us how to "be alpha," which initially seemed to help a little, but it actually created increased panic episodes. We consulted our vet about Rosie who referred us to Nancy Williams as well as prescribing Prozac. The medicine took the edge off but we needed behavior support as well. Nancy is kind, funny and motivating. We started seeing positive results after our first virtual session. We learned really helpful techniques that are paying off!
