We have a year and half old miniature poodle, Buster, that we needed help with in many areas. Kristyn has been an absolute godsend. On our daily walk a few days ago, a large pit bull got out of his yard and came charging down the street toward us. My first impression was to panic, but I heard Kristyn's voice in my ear saying, "Stand up as tall as you can and yell "Bah" as loud and deep as you can," which I did. I had a squirt bottle of water with me to help in the training and when the dog got 3-4 feet from us I yelled and squirted! He skidded to a stop. He then started toward us again and I repeated everything. He stopped, waited a few seconds, started whining, and turned around and left. So even when she's not here physically, Kristyn is still training "me."

I have a two-year-old Australian sheperd who had gotten progressively worse with barking and pulling on her leash. It had gotten to the point I dreaded taking her on walks or even outside to do her business because of constant barking. When I talked to Kristyn I told her, "I have tried everything." She reassured me she could help get my dog (Faith) back on track. I never realized how much domesticated dogs have pack instincts and act/react accordingly to attempts at gaining alpha(leader) status. Kristyn made me realize how important the way I treat Faith impacts her behavior. She helped me "read" and anticipate her behavior. I was literally in tears the day I talked to Kristyn on the phone setting up my appointment and one day later I am ecstatic! Faith went from a barking, stressed dog pulling at the leash to a comfortable dog investigating her surrondings... QUIETLY ..I did not lay one hand on her to produce this desirable behavior. That is one of the things I love most!! The testimonial is not only mine... A neighbor in my apartment complex actually said to her barking dogs," Look, why can't you be good like that dog" two days after Kristyns visit. I cant say thank you enough, we are a happy pack and I am the leader! Amy
