I had an opportunity to work with Julie on addressing my dog’s Separation Anxiety. Julie guided me via phone consultations, emails and videos. Julie is incredible! She was extremely caring, supportive and helpful throughout this process. I never thought that I would be able to deal with my dog’s separation anxiety, let alone accomplishing it. Within three weeks I’m writing this review and my heart is full of gratitude and excitement that my dog’s separation anxiety has been addressed. Two weeks in the program under Julie’s guidance I saw complete turn around in my dog’s behavior. I have been dealing with this issue over a year and to see results within two weeks was mind blowing!
I can’t believe it……. and I’m so happy and thrilled that it is really happening for us, we did it Julie showed care and empathy towards me and my dog along the way. Sometimes, I would receive quick phone calls during the day asking for quick updates. She was always available and phone call away to guide me through this very challenging period. Julie has this formula down packed. Her program is very well structured and organized. All I had to do is to listen to her instructions and apply…my dog showed massive results in a short period of time.
Can’t say enough. We adopted a 6 year old shepherd with severe anxiety (unknown to us by the shelter) and had Allison come to assess her. We’re trying to integrate her into our two cat home which isn’t without its challenges. Allison has given such amazing insight and advice and has held our hand through the process even calling us to give insight that she has just because it comes to her through her very busy days. It’s going to take time but with her guidance we know that we will have a successful and happy integrated home before we know it. We highly recommend them and especially Allison!!

Her knowledge, experience and confidence gave my dog and me the encouragement that was needed to overcome the separation anxiety, which was really affecting both my dog’s life and mine.
I highly recommend Julie’s Separation Anxiety program to any dog parent. Don’t hesitate to call her. Trust me I know I have been there and I’m comfortable and confident that you will get the proper help!
