What Clients Say
Emma & Charlie
“We’ve definitely had success using the methods you gave us. Emma spends a lot more time now on laps or on the bed instead of under it. Charlie and Emma are doing great. They will walk up to each other and touch noses sometimes, or rub their cheeks together.
We finally got to the point where they can be together at night, so we are both back to sleeping in our normal bed (hooray!) Emma is finally using the steps to get up onto the bed.
So, good news all around. Thanks so much for all your help!”
~ Elizabeth Grimm, Emma & Charlie, Massachusetts
Chimie
“Prior to our two hour phone consultation, Alana gathered detailed information about Chimie through a questionnaire and a few videos I sent over, all of which gave her a clear picture of Chimie and what the problem areas were.
During our phone consultation, Alana provided constructive feedback on not only how to help Chimie with her fear issues, but also gave us insight as to possible reasons why Chimie behaved the way she did. This was most beneficial as it enabled us to change our perspective on her socializing ability and helped us approach the training in a gentle yet effective manner.” Read more
