We sought out Carolyn because our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Clyde, was an extremely anxious dog and consequently aggressive towards other dogs. We tried several conventional group training classes at two different facilities. And while Clyde was an “A” student at walking on a leash and following commands, he still remained overly anxious and aggressive. We needed someone who could not only identify what the problem was but provide us a strong syllabus to help correct these undesirable behaviors.
Carolyn was able to adapt her training to fit our specific needs. While working with us she continually re-evaluated her approach with Clyde to make sure the issues were identified, addressed, and corrected. We were finally able to recognize his body language, how to socialize him with other dogs, and how to effectively handle a large dominant dog. Now this 120lb monster lies on his back while our new 14 week old puppy climbs all over him and Clyde is obedient on and off the leash. We are truly grateful for all of Carolyn’s advice, guidance, and expertise in animal behavior.
