Testimonials
“Ronit is a magician who shares her magic tricks! In one hour, you can fix almost any problem. Our pups are eager to please. She just needed to show us how to speak their language. She showed us how to stop them from barking at other dogs on TV, loud noises, music, and just out of excitement. She showed us how to calm them down and greet visitors respectfully. We are still working, but after just a day or two of reinforcement we already see a huge improvement.”

“Ronit was amazing. Just three sessions with her and we noticed a major improvement in our little Raji man. Raji is a rescue and was having aggressive reactivity. We couldn’t understand what we were doing wrong. Turns out it’s the owners that need training the most. Cannot recommend Ronit enough!”
– Sarah F., Santa Barbara, CA March 2024
“My husband and I adopted a rescue pup and quickly realized we were in way over our heads. Our first night with Arnold was quite literally a sleepless sh*t show, we felt akin to parents of a newborn baby. My husband was ready to send him back to the shelter. Ronit came highly recommended, and I’m not exaggerating when I say she’s the reason we’re now a happy family. Her cool & collected demeanor immediately put us all at ease. In just one session, she helped us get Arnold to potty outside, taught us basic leash walking, and “place.” We were STUNNED at the difference! Ronit gave us the skills & confidence we needed to give Arnold the structure, boundaries, and safety he needed. It’s been a joy to see his personality blossom! He’s curious, playful, intuitive, and trusting. We’re so grateful for Ronit’s guidance!”
