Ash has truly changed our lives. I came to her with Kato, a deeply loved dog with severe dog reactivity, and I was overwhelmed, frightened, and physically limited by both pulmonary health issues and a traumatic brain injury. What sets Ash apart is that this is real, one-on-one, face-to-face support—every session, every step. You are never passed off to a program or rotating staff. Ash is the trainer, the strategist, and the steady presence guiding the plan. Her approach is humane, safety-first, and grounded in real behavior science, with clear structure and step-by-step guidance that has been essential for me. She adapts the plan to both the dog and the owner, adjusts when needed, and never makes you feel judged or rushed. The progress we’ve made has been life-changing, and I truly don’t know where Kato—or I—would be without her. What Ash does is priceless.
Working with Ash has been great! My pup Lucy is a mini schnauzer with all the sass and stubbornness you would expect. At about a year and a half old, she's full of energy, and as a COVID puppy, she didn't get quite as much socialization early on as we would have liked. When we started working with Ash, Lucy was very reactive - to people, other pets, squirrels, birds, trash blowing in the wind, you name it. It only took Ash a few sessions to see what was happening, recommend ways to reinforce non-reactive behavior, and help us get the practice down so we could work on it at home. After that, we started working on introducing Lucy to my partner's dog, who is quite a bit older and not interested in Lucy's energy. They'd had a few short meetings before - some good, some bad. Ash taught us a way to slowly introduce them that allows them to slowly adjust to being in close proximity without reacting. I would definitely recommend My Sidekick for your training!
Ash is an amazing trainer. :) I highly recommend My Sidekick Dog training. Ash has given us so many tools to work with Roxie on her “issues” and I’ve already noticed a big difference. I was skeptical about rewards-based training at first, but now… I am a believer… and Roxie is a happier pup because of it! :) looking forward to learning more and getting in more sessions. Thanks for everything!
