Dodie did an outstanding job for us as seniors. She trained our St. Bernard puppy, Izzy, to fit our slower-paced lifestyle, including teaching her not to push, pull, or hinder our movements. She matched our needs with ways to play and train an energetic, extra-large puppy!!!

After working with a trainer who emphasized using shock collars, our young dog was withdrawn and fearful. We were worried we wouldn’t be able to win back his trust. We were fortunate to find Dodie who was working with our neighbor’s dogs and hired her to help. We repaired the damage, and he excelled with positive reinforcement. Dodie, we thank you for being in the right place at the right time and for helping us.

She is an amazing trainer and my dog is now the dog of my dreams! I can go out to public places and he is well-behaved! You will not find anyone more dedicated to your pet’s success than her.

We had been struggling with our dog’s comfort and behavior for quite some time, but with Dodie’s help, we’ve finally found the best solution. Her specialized approach was both realistic and effective, giving us the tools we needed for long-term success. Dodie’s excellent communication and supportive guidance made the entire process feel so much easier. She was always honest and provided the truth about what was happening, which we really appreciated. Our dog is so much happier now, and we are too! I highly recommend Dodie to anyone looking for a nice, knowledgeable, and dedicated professional.

Very good trainer. She gave us the ability to take care of our dog’s needs without having to use the prong collars for her. We like her communication and ideas. She even got our dog to stop chewing things when we leave just by showing us a new way to relax our dog on walks. Highly recommended.

Dodie made great progress with our rescued dog who had a lot of fear issues from being in the shelter for an extended period of time. Harper’s fears and insecurities faded as Dodie led us through the training. We learned so much and value everything she did. We tell all of our friends about her and her services.

We didn’t know if we would be able to keep our dog once adolescence hit. His behavior was unpredictable and dangerous because of my limited mobility. We found Dodie through a friend and began working with her. Teddy responded well to decompression walks and enrichment. Training became easier, and we are happy to say he is here to stay. She alleviated our worries with actual progress. Five stars for sure!

Dodie is a very experienced trainer who really understands rescue dogs. Her problem-solving skills really helped us find success early in the behavior modification plan. Her experience as a teacher and trainer helped us learn the concepts needed to form a lifelong partnership with our sweet dog Molly. Dodie’s patience and focus on safe setups helped us navigate Molly’s aggression issues. Dodie’s curriculum is carefully tailored to your dog. With the individual attention we had through the private lessons, we were able to make quick and meaningful progress. We enjoyed working with Dodie and look forward to working with her with our next dog.
