“Life-Changing Experience for Me and My Warrior Pup

I don’t even know where to begin—this dog means the world to me.

Pixie came into my life under heartbreaking circumstances. At just 3 weeks old and a tiny Gerberian Shepsky, she was thrown from a moving vehicle over a fence and left in the cold. The ruff start to life she endured that November left deep scars. Neurological and behavioral challenges were present from the beginning but new challenges emerged as she hit 18 months.

As a holistic practitioner, I threw my entire toolbox at helping her heal since I had her—aromatherapy, trauma informed manual therapy, relaxation massage, sound healing, CBD. I worked to build a bond with her through movement—skijoring and bikejoring—which gave us glimpses of hope, but her anxiety continued to overwhelm both of us. I felt frustrated, heartbroken, and unsure how to truly reach her.

After some private and group training sessions, it became clear that Pix needed more intensive support. The decision to send her to work with Nick and Jessi was not easy—I have an incredibly deep soul connection with Pixie, and being apart from her was difficult. But I took the leap, trusting that something good might come from it.

What happened was nothing short of remarkable.

Pixie returned to me a different dog in all the best ways. Her anxiety, reactivity, and stress have decreased significantly. She is calm, focused, and more emotionally regulated. The look in her eyes is softer—peaceful. The transformation is undeniable, and for the first time in a long time, I feel hope and joy in our journey together. Looking forward to our mountain adventures and enjoying time with my girl without the extra stress of the behavior issues. She is a just a happy dog now with really good manners.

Nick has a rare gift—what I can only describe as a true dog whisperer’s awareness to communicate with the dogs in a language that reaches them.. He not only helped Pixie transform, he helped me find my footing again as her partner and reclaim control over the situation.
Jessi was also incredible, sending photos and updates throughout the process that helped ease my heart while we were apart.

I am endlessly proud of my girl and so grateful to Nick and Jessi for guiding her (and me) through this pivotal moment. If you are struggling with a dog who is deeply loved but bringing you stress, please don’t wait—reach out. This experience changed our lives.

Forever grateful,

Jenna Kaufmann

“Amazing! Had to put my little white cat down of 12 years and they had been so sensitive and supportive during that time. They let me hold her the whole time <3“

“Dr Julia is a terrific vet who truly cares for her patients and their people! Also, it is very fairly priced. I highly recommend Mt. Empire for everything from yearly exams and vaccinations to emergencies and illnesses. She even does grooming, boarding and adoptions next door in Julia's Jungle.“
