"Nancy is a miracle worker. Hands down. No other way to describe it. I brought a very frightened and occasionally fear aggressive Great Pyrenees to her and in such a short time his progress has been nothing short of amazing. I genuinely believed we would have to keep him away from all other dogs except his siblings, turns out he LOVES playing with new friends. We just needed us to know how to handle such a special guy. His confidence has grown in leaps. He is very bonded to me (probably too much so) and she suggested I take a step back and let him bond more with my husband. The excitement this dog shows when Daddy is home now warms my heart. Myself and Baldr Dash my handsome playful boy are both forever indebted to Nancy. Her knowledge and wisdom are unmatched. Oh I completely forgot. He was very thin because he would not eat. Now he happily chomps down each meal and looks amazing at 128 pounds. The first photo of him on me was when we had a visitor in the beginning and he was scared. The rest are my boy now."

"I took my very fearful, 8 month old Potcake puppy to see Nancy because she was showing aggression toward other dogs while on a leash as well as barking, biting and lunging at the vacuum, jumping on people and chasing the cat. I was feeling defeated and needed help. A friend of mine recommended Nancy so I reached out to her immediately. She was very responsive and made room for us the following week. She spent 2.5 hrs with us and I learned so much I left my paperwork there when I left! Haha. She was able to give me the tools to get Porchie’s attention focused on me instead of the threat. Since our lesson I have been using these tools at home and it’s working beautifully. Porchie is seeking me for safety and no longer tuning me out. I can’t remember the last time she chased the cat or jumped on someone. Most importantly, she really enjoys the training because it’s positive. Nancy said the worst thing you can do with a fearful dog is yell at them, make noise or use inhumane collars. It just heightens their fear and can make them worse. A lot of people are unaware of how just simple body language and redirection can change your dog’s focus. I wish everyone took their dogs to Nancy. I would recommend her in a heartbeat."

"Nancy has changed our life and saved our dog and our family dynamics! We can’t say enough positive things about our experience with her. Nancy is so knowledgeable on all aspects of animal behavior, breeding, legalities of animal issues, and in her training techniques. She devotes so much time and she really cares about the well being of you and your pet. We had a very aggressive dog - to the point that our vet told us we should put him down. He had bitten seven people, including us. High anxiety, dog aggression, and so many other issues. We couldn’t bear putting him down without trying more. We hired another “trainer” six months prior to no avail. We gave Nancy a call and she changed our whole world. We implemented her suggested changes and noticed marked improvements very quickly. We now have a much more relaxed and stress free home and most importantly, our little dog is so much happier."

"Our rescue dog has aggression issues that worsened over years. We reached a point where we knew we needed expert help for our dog, and we’re so glad that we found Nancy — she truly IS an expert! In addition to her incredible knowledge and past experience with dogs like ours, Nancy is realistic and honest, and helped us to come to terms with some of the severe issues our dog has. With Nancy’s guidance, we’re very happy with our dog’s progress over the last few months. I highly recommend consulting Nancy if you need expert help with dog aggression or other behavior issues!"

"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!"
