My dog, Zef, n I came to see Ash for help with reactivity. Ash has taught us some unique approaches, collaborative care being the one that I have enjoyed the most. Zef is terrified of the vet, and that paired with his aggression, made going to the vet a highly stressful experience for us that I avoid at all costs. We trained with collaborative care pretty religiously to prepare for an annual vet visit and I am happy to report that with the support of medication, Zef was able to sit between my legs and consent to a shot from the vet without drama!

Reviews
Ash really helped us understand our dog, Nina, and her needs a lot better. We have a rescue dog we really love but she struggled with some anxious behaviors. When my wife and I had our son, Nina didn't know how to interact with him. She had shown some moments of aggression. We were worried we might have to rehome her, but thanks to Ash's training for Nina and us, Nina and our son are friends. I can't recommend Ash enough.
Ash is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and training methods. She explains the whys and the mechanics of training clearly, and then demonstrates it to perfection.
We took our puppy (3 months) for a consultation and it was really helpful- we left with a plan on what to focus on and some hands-on experience.
Will definitely go again after we practice our initial training with our pup.
