Zoey, Showing How It's Done



"Cecilia has helped us train two German Shepherd dogs. In 2009 we adopted Cassie and in 2012, after we lost Cassie, we adopted Zoey. Being adult rescue dogs they each came with a variety of issues, from separation anxiety to mouthy and nippy behavior. Cecilia has helped us learn how to train, correct, and live happily with these wonderfully special (and oh so smart creatures.)


Her teaching methods are 100% positive with no force or punishment. Happy dogs = happy owners. Cecilia has given me the tools to help me help my dog reach her full potential. "


Susan with Cassie and Zoey



Abbie Girl
Guiness World Record Surf Dog



"You should be JUST as proud as I am. Please feel free to advertise you're the dog trainer that has Guinness World Record alumni. You had a big part in Abbie's early socialization and rehabilitation as a pup, and we'll never forget you! "


Michael with Abbie Girl, World Renowned Surfing Dog



Noodle



"You're the BEST! Wow – we just walked the orchard across from PetSmart (lunged at one off-leash whippet) with good results, then went to PetSmart and practiced “There’s a DOG!”


Unbelievable - Noodle’d actually look at the dog, look back at us, wag, look at the dog, look back. He even did SIT! This is with seven different dogs in the store. We think you’re from heaven! Thank you SOOO much.


We’re working our tails off, and having a blast – this is our “puppy love” summer, and it’s the best summer ever: you’re a huge part of that. We’re having so much fun with our Noodle! Thank you for teaching all three of us how to work well together."

Ben



"Cecilia is a fantastic dog developer! I got my dog, Ben from a shelter seven months ago, and had tried everything to get my sweet little Terrier under control. He didn't make much progress or like his trainers until we found Cecilia. He adores her and learns quickly since he's so comfortable.


Cecilia has wonderful intuition and vast knowledge. Her methods are positive, kind, and effective. She understands Ben and relates to him in such a way, that she knows exactly how to guide me in helping him learn and develop. I am so grateful for Cecilia and highly recommend her!"


Suzanne with Ben



Twister, Flyball Dog Champion



"When I got my Border Collie, I wasted no time in calling Cecilia. When my BC turned 7 mos old he hit a rather severe fear phase. He was so reactive to everything that I was in tears. He had turned fear aggressive and was afraid of everything, especially new dogs. I thought I had ruined him. My other dog had been so easy to train, and I was at a total loss. With Cecilia's guidance and training he made improvements. He is now a more confident dog and I can take him out, without myself or him being stressed. He now can greet other dogs without freaking out.


I HIGHLY recommend Cecilia to everyone"


Cherese with Twister
