Testimonials
“I first hired Cindy for a behavior assessment where she came to my home and observed my 8 month puppy (and me) in his natural surroundings. We both felt comfortable with her right away and during the session, I learned so many tips and about my dog’s innate tendencies. I incorporated Cindy’s expert advice into my daily routine with my pup and he has flourished.
About 3 weeks later, we boarded our dog with Cindy for a week. It was our first time leaving him and she made all of us feel good, and all of her dogs welcomed him into the pack. He came home happy and well socialized (also with cats, chickens and turkeys, and Cindy’s family). I appreciate her philosophy of the pets being integrated into the family setting and not being ‘kenneled’ though my dog did choose the overnight crate vs the open space at bedtime.
I am now so confident during first time meetings my dog has with other animals and people – the experience came at an ideal time in his puppy training!
I have already connected with Cindy about having him stay with her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
– Client
“Little Man”, as Cindy calls my undersized standard poodle, joined Cindy’s colorful pack for two weeks of courage building companionship. Cindy is a party enzyme, helping shy dogs join in the fun and feel their agency. Little Man goes back every so often to be reminded that he can make things happen, be a leader or play a supporting role, and always have fun! There is so much excitement waiting for him at Cindy’s and he comes home with a new swagger in his step. I am very pleased to have Cindy in my neighborhood and so grateful for her sound advice when it comes to dogs who don’t quite know how to step into their power. I hear she’s good at helping dogs with a bit too much swagger, too.”

“I engaged Cindy to help us introduce my daughter’s dog to our relatively new rescues. All female, all fairly young. Because the grand dog will be living with us for awhile, it was important that this went well. Cindy helped us via phone, zoom, text, and an in person visit (2.5 hrs from her home!).
Their initial meeting went well. We will likely need some on going training help to manage their personalities, but Cindy helped us get through a really important step flawlessly. She is so knowledgeable and so easy to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with little or big behavior issues. 5 stars all the way!”
