Testimonials
“I’ve told a lot of people that the Strutt Your Mutt program works!!! I have never experienced so much JOY with a dog before!!! I’m singing the praises of Strutt Your Mutt to anyone who asks (and some that don’t). For me, the hardest part was trusting that their method would work and letting go of old ideas. Once you go to work with Strutt Your Mutt and you make a commitment to work the “plan” they set up for you, you will be given all you need to have the dog you have always wanted. The other dog owners and dogs will envy the wonderful relationship you have with your dog!”
– Cynthia Chappell
“It has been a few months since Bella’s board and train, and during that time Bella has become a very different dog and we have a much better relationship. Now, when we do a training session with Erika, Bella and I work as a team, trusting one another. We are both much more relaxed and Bella is much more happy and calm these days. I can even go through my doors with no more biting and my clothes are safe. I feel that Erika has helped me to find the sweet, funny dog that was inside Bella. Bella has become the good companion I was looking for when I adopted her.I would definitely recommend Strutt Your Mutt to any dog owner experiencing behavioral problems with their dogs. Erika has made such a difference in our household and our lives.”

“My husband and I have been to several trainers for our dog with little success. We just wanted to walk our dog without him pulling us. In addition, our dog Cooper was barking at people walking in front of our house and whining when other dogs were close by. We both had seen Erika around the neighborhood walking several dogs (6 to 7!) and they were all calm and submissive. We knew we had to find this person and see what her secret was! Fortunately, we were able to find her on the internet, otherwise we would have hunted the neighborhood to find her. She was prompt and professional and came to our aid immediately with instant results. Erika was very helpful and answered all of our questions in a professional manner. She gave us multiple ideas on how to handle any issue and really took the time to understand our dog and what his needs are.We have used Strutt Your Mutt on a regular basis for behavioral issues, dog walking and boarding and have been very pleased with our happy, obedient dog. Cooper is a more calm, relaxed and balanced dog, and learning the skills to be pack leader has been a great success for our family. Erika is a huge asset in our family and we hope to continue this relationship for a very long time to come!”
