"Vero taught me about dogs and I was able to understand Marilyn from a different perspective. Marilyn and Vero showed me that any dog can be the best dog in the world as long as it is understood and guided correctly."

“Vero brings a deep understanding of dog behavior - and yes, our behavior! Her sensible coaching yielded immediate and positive results.”

"Vero has given my family the tools to be able to feel confident in training my dog. She is very knowledgeable, patient and supportive. My dog also loves her!"

"Vero is professional and fun. She has a genuine love for dogs and a deep understanding of dog behavior. Vero taught Annie and me to interact in a healthy and respectful way, which made Annie a balanced and happy dog, without fears or problematic behaviors.”

“Judy is an excellent dog trainer. As a coach, she guided me patiently and clearly to process Danzka’s departure and remember her as the companion and life teacher she was and continues to be for me. This has allowed me to help my family in their processing of Danzka’s death as well.”

"Vero has been an in valuable guide on our extraordinary journey with our beloved 'wolf.' Her expertise has made a world of difference in our day-to-day interactions. Her unwavering commitment to our dog's well-being has truly exceeded our expectations."

“We turned to Holistic Dog Training when we got a puppy last year. Vero and Judy were a godsend. Years of knowledge and training make them our go-to for advice, training and everything dog-related.”

“Judy was a fantastic dog trainer for our one-year-old Blue Heeler! After doing a ton of research on the best trainer, we chose Judy because of her nuanced and positive-focused approach. She gave us a detailed plan within our budget and then really worked with us to work with our dog (and other dog, and child) to limit our Heeler's reactive and hyper-ness. We've noticed a big difference, as has our walker. 10/10 would recommend!”

“I made an impulse decision to work with Judy and I’m so happy I did! She guided me with clarity, direction, caring and patience—I felt accompanied throughout the coaching journey. I learned to lean on the support of my dogs to breathe, play, meditate, shake off my troubles and communicate better with them.”

“Judy brought her extensive dog knowledge and training techniques into my home to help me and my new puppy, Rocky, live together in harmony. She has a positive and calming presence about her. I looked forward to our training sessions and Rocky loves her. It is worth the investment as Rocky is becoming a very good doggie.”

"Judy has such a deep understanding of dogs and their behaviors. She truly is a dog whisperer! Her patience for our dog, and for us, was highly appreciated. She gave us invaluable tools to use that has made walking our dog such a better experience. I highly recommend Judy and Holistic Dog Training."

"I first reached out to Holistic Dog Training after my dog bit me for the millionth time.  Having already spent thousands of dollars on training, I was exhausted and hesitant to do more. Judy's response was timely and thorough. She came to my home, gave me helpful behavior modification tips, became my cheerleader and provided 1:1 coaching for me that has allowed me to strengthen my relationship with Bow so we can continue building a healthy bond."

"I turned to Judy because my confidence in myself as a dog trainer had been shaken by an adoption that had not turned out well. Once I agreed to a trial adoption of another dog, I knew I wanted an objective take on whether Jetty and I could make a team. Judy’s dual focus on owner and dog helped. In much less time than I had expected, with Judy’s support, Jetty and I started understanding each other. Judy was patient with me, which allowed me to be patient with my dog. Now I know that neither of us is the problem–it’s a matter of time, patience, and work."

"We worked with Judy to help Trueno return to his usual self after a big scare from a possum. All the techniques she gave us helped Trueno to relax and enjoy his home again."

"Vero has truly become an invaluable part of our family and working with her has been life-changing for me and my dog, Lola. She’s helped me better understand Lola’s needs, what she’s trying to communicate, and how my own anxiety and fears were unintentionally affecting her. I realized there were many things I thought were helping that actually weren’t—and Vero guided me through that with so much compassion and clarity.
Vero deeply understands dogs, their needs, and their nature, and her care shines through in everything she does. Her wife, Judy, has also been such a joy to communicate with—together they are professional, reliable, and genuinely amazing at what they do. We feel so lucky to have them in our lives!"

"Judy helped me with my cat - bonding and training. I learned from Judy that cats are very trainable and just pure joy. Highly recommended."
