Testimonials

“Working with Fiona was the best thing we've done for our energetic pup Milano. Not only did she use positive reinforcement to train Milano to manage his excitement, she also taught us to better understand our dog and to use strategies that set him up for success ... She is so knowledgeable about canine behavior, which was useful in explaining some of Milano's behaviors. I highly recommend training with Fiona - it has helped us connect with our pup more than ever.”

“I knew we were in good hands with Fiona as soon as she walked in the door…. Her expertise and compassion have become even more apparent and our dog's improvement in so many areas has been amazing and much easier to come by than we ever thought possible. It's Not Magic, but it feels pretty close. Thanks Fiona!”

“Fiona was extraordinary when training my two puppies. Her expertise and deep understanding of the puppies' personalities led to a customized training approach that helped expedite learning and the puppies' understanding... Fiona's methods were patient, consistent, and tailored to make learning enjoyable for the pups, resulting in a lot of fun and significant improvement in behavior. I wholeheartedly recommend Fiona to anyone seeking a professional and compassionate dog trainer…

Fiona is such a wonderful dog trainer… very passionate and knowledgeable on positive reinforcement training. She cares a lot about your pup and make sure that you as a dog owners know what to do after each lesson so that you could practice it at home with your pup … Very glad to have Fiona as our first dog trainer. She guides us through many questions and concerns … My pup enjoys every single training lesson with Fiona. We can’t thank her more and we highly recommend her!

Our dog shows genuine enthusiasm for training sessions ... Fiona's expertise has made a remarkable difference, and we couldn't be happier with the progress our dog has made under her guidance. ”

“Fiona’s combination of expertise and enthusiasm makes recommending her an easy choice. We have a small, very reactive dog, and Fiona is giving us the tools we need to manage situations, recognize emotional states, and hopefully reach our goal of having a reasonable life-to-wrangling-an-anxious-dog-ratio.”

“Incredibly knowledgeable and personalized ... The joy and companionship I have from my dog is due in large part, to the diligence and passion Fiona brought to every session”

“We enjoyed working with Fiona… She is very patient and kind and makes the training sessions so much fun that our dog didn’t want her to leave. We love her training method, positive reinforcement! … Thank you Fiona for helping us with Maple. You are an awesome trainer!”

“ We had a wonderful experience working with Fiona to help our Maltese, Lola, who was showing some reactivity both during walks and at home. Fiona worked with us both outside and in our home -- helping us address Lola's reactions to people and dogs during walks, as well as her barking and excitement when the doorbell rang or when new people visited. Fiona's knowledge of dog behavior and her ability to communicate clearly with us made all the difference …We've already seen great improvement -- Lola is calmer on walks, and her reactions at the door are getting much better. We're so grateful for Fiona's guidance and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, effective, and skilled dog trainer.”

“Fiona has been wonderful. Her behavioral approach is kind and gentle, but gets results. She has been helping my Australian shepherd puppy learn to be a good doggie and in the process I am becoming a better dog mom. Fiona comes to the house to work with us and we have also met up in a local park so my pup can learn how to handle herself in public. Fiona also shares a wealth of resources for me to review between sessions which has been super helpful. I don't care what breed you have, I would highly recommend you look into training with Fiona.”

“Just from our first couple of sessions we have seen our girls gain confidence, trust, and excitement to train with us! ... Fiona is incredibly insightful and compassionate, her knowledge has helped us understand our dogs needs and communication style ... she really listens and offers so much guidance without judgment.”
