When I adopted my dog, Fuzz, he had many fear-related behavior problems due to previous abuse. I worked with and spoke to several other trainers, but
only Dawn, as her website says, is “dog friendly” and “people friendly.” She really understands that a dog trainer is training people how to train their dogs,
and therefore must work well with both species. Also, not all “positive” trainers have Dawn’s positive attitude—she is able to see beyond Fuzz’s troubles to
the sweet, goofy dog I love. In between our home training sessions, Dawn is always willing to answer questions by e-mail, and recommend useful books by
respected trainers and behaviorists.
Though Fuzz has made progress, he and I still have a lot of work to do. It’s good to know Dawn is there to offer further help and encouragement.
