As first-time dog owners my wife and I were somewhat unprepared for the multifaceted experience of caring for a puppy. Our 4-month-old Mini Australian Shepherd Yuzu, while good-tempered, was developing some bad habits on the leash (eating things off the ground and leash-pulling). Additionally, we felt that in order to be responsible owners we should have a watertight toolkit for training her in fundamental behaviors that every dog should have––both indoors and out. After trying and failing to teach Yuzu from a diversity of mediocre dog training YouTube videos, we decided to pull the trigger and hire Vicky to provide her expertise.
I would be understating if I said that we couldn’t be happier with Vicky’s work and the results she delivered with Yuzu. Aside from being an all-around wonderful human being who truly has a special connection with animals, Vicky did a perfect job identifying Yuzu’s needs and making sure that we, her humans, are capable of providing effective training for the rest of her life. After four sessions, Yuzu is now a well-behaved walker and listens attentively to commands such as “sit,” “lay down,” “stay,” “drop it,” “go to crate,” “come” and many more. We were amazed at how quickly Vicky was able to correct our mistakes and put Yuzu on a path toward success (and Yuzu loved every second of it).
We are confident that as long as you are willing to put in the work required to effectively train your dog, Vicky will be there every step of the way to provide everything you need to transform them into most well behaved pup in town––big, small, young old, calm, hyper. 10/10, 5 stars, 100%, A+. Whatever your needs, she will deliver. You won’t regret it, and neither will your pup.
