Our Clients Say...
When we first started working with Rita, we were extremely concerned about our rescue dog, Mr. Fuzz, who is part Heeler and part Australian Shepherd. He is very protective of his home and family and would often growl at and even snap toward guests. Rita immediately understood his behavior and worked patiently with both him and us. While he is still a work in progress, the transformation has been incredible. She helped him become much more comfortable around people and significantly reduced the behaviors that were causing us concern.
The true testament to Rita’s expertise came when we needed to travel out of town. We were very nervous about boarding Mr. Fuzz because of his protective nature and concerns about how he would respond to being away from us. We ultimately decided to board him with Rita, and we were amazed by the results. The next time we brought him back, he ran right up to her, excited to see her and eager for affection. Seeing that level of trust from a dog who is typically so cautious meant the world to us.
Since then, we have added another dog to our family, Mr. Bandit, who is still a puppy. Rita has been wonderful in helping train not only Mr. Bandit, but us as pet owners as well. One of the things I appreciate most is that she doesn’t just train the dogs, she teaches owners how to continue that training and build a stronger relationship with their pets. Being open to her guidance and feedback has made a huge difference for our family.
Before meeting Rita, I dreaded traveling because I worried so much about leaving our dogs in someone else’s care. Now, I can truly relax and enjoy my time away, knowing our boys are safe, happy, and receiving exceptional care. Rita is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. It is clear that she loves what she does, and it shows in the results.
We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for our dogs, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled trainer and trustworthy caregiver. Rita truly knows her stuff when it comes to animals! 🐾❤️
