I am a Registered Veterinary Technician who has worked at a local veterinary clinic for 20 years and this is where I met Annie. She was a client whose dogs were our most well-mannered patients, so I already knew of her extensive knowledge and experience with training and behavior modification.
My husband and I needed professional help when we got our third Doberman, Magnum, who was a puppy. Dobermans are extremely intelligent, powerful dogs and he is no exception. Some unwanted behaviors were already emerging, and we needed guidance. During our first meeting with Annie, we discussed our concerns and how we would tackle them as well as future training goals. She customized a program unique to Magnum's needs and made us feel empowered to start correcting seemingly daunting issues. We were given tasks to work on and she was available to contact with any questions or problems we were facing between training sessions. She helped us tremendously in not only completely resolving problems we were having, but also in teaching us new skills that stimulated Magnum's brain, like working on impulse-control. Even when we felt like we were not making much progress, Annie reminded us of how far we had come and cheered us on. Magnum would not be well on his way to becoming a well-behaved adult without Annie's training and we will continue to work with her to achieve this goal.
We highly recommend Annie to anyone who is feeling like they are having problems with their beloved pup or adult dog.
