Testimonials

Nigel

Nigel is a real testimony to Allison’s capabilities. As a puppy, he had severe separation anxiety and was OCD. He had chewed up doors, windows, furniture anything that got in the way of his attempting to get to us. His vet had recommended medicating him, which I was willing to try. The medication was successful in making him loopy, but once they were off he was back to his old ways.

Lucky for us we learned about Allison. Allison worked one on one with us, coming to our home to help determine what triggered Nigel’s inappropriate behavior. She uses positive behavior reinforcement and helped direct us to some homeopathic remedies instead of the chemical treatments. Nigel is now a happy, well adjusted boy who brings joy into our lives every day.

Ginger and Rusty

All Brittany owners well know what a handful it is to own one. They are among the most intelligent and sweetest family-oriented dogs there are. They are also very vacillicating, energetic and stubborn. It is the latter three characteristics (especially the vacillating part) that sometimes makes them a challenge to train. Fortunately, Allison is an expert in this breed owning several of them and being a major player in national Brittany rescue for many years. Her "positive reinforcement" policy worked wonders with our two, and with Britts being so submissive, is really the only way you can go without breaking their spirit. Allison not only worked with them, but also with us to maintain their training.

We have also been fortunate to have worked with Allison for several years in Brittany rescue and have witnessed firsthand the miracles she works with this breed. She has taken totally dysfunctional Britts and rehabed them into perfect family pets. She truly is a miracle worker.

Gabby

Thank you so much for the assistance you gave me with Gabby. She is a different dog already, she is doing great and she is so much easier to handle. When we went to doggy day care today, she actually WALKED in without pulling us in the building. Thanks again and I am giving your name to all my friends.
