Our vet, Hope Vet, suggested that we contact Dawn when we expressed our growing concern about the
behavior of our 9-month old Yorkie, Maggie Mae. Although she was a great dog most of the time—bright, easy to
train, and extremely affectionate—on leash, she was displaying increasingly aggressive behavior toward other
dogs and some humans (lunging and growling). Off leash, she was reactive to anyone ringing the bell, knocking on
the door, or entering our apartment. Her energy would go from 0 to 10 in seconds—and before we could stop it—
she was out of control. Without professional intervention, we were afraid that Maggie’s fearful/aggressive behavior
could escalate and another dog or person might get hurt.
Dawn worked miracles on Maggie. She quickly accessed the situation and helped my husband and I understand
what we needed to do to help Maggie become a more relaxed dog. Dawn gave us positive, clear, and
methodical work to do that changed Maggie’s attitude about stressful situations. Dawn was patient and
encouraging and always took the time to see the good in Maggie—not just the undesirable behavior that we
were trying to change. The icing on the cake was the very clear and concise homework instructions that she
emailed to us after each session so we knew exactly what we needed to accomplish before our next encounter.
We tried many things before we met Dawn, but Maggie’s stress wasn’t reducing and her behavior wasn’t
improving. Dawn helped Maggie become a better, happier dog. I would recommend her to anyone.
