    My experience with Gusty was life changing. I watched my dog, and I have had many in my life, change right before my eyes. He is a 90lb male pit bull mix, who was a bit fearful and pushed to dominate. He loves people but would jump on them including myself and it was extremely stressful. Gusty corrected this behavior within the first 30 minutes of our time together with absolutely no physical force whatsoever! My dog went from fearful and unsure to calm and respectful; fear left him. Even his abandonment anxiety was relieved. I am so excited to continue the ability to speak dog language, and continue what Gusty has shown me to build a wonderful relationship with my dog. I would recommend her in a heartbeat as she is as dedicated to her clients as our dogs are to us. And that’s so refreshing to see in this world today. Thanks again, Gusty!

    Results after the first visit! My 5 yr old mini Aussie, Burt was a stressed out (anxious), terrible pulling on a lead, non stop barking, extremely reactive boy and we have seen nothing but positive results since our two visits with Gusty! I had a laundry list of behavioral issues that had evolved and gotten worse over time and the majority of that list was corrected after the first visit. Yes, the first visit.
    I was dreading training because I was worried it would be difficult or I would be stressed myself. Gusty is wonderful and truly the best trainer! Couldn’t have done this without her. She is incredibly supportive and reassuring and has made this process easy and fun! Now with my consistency, Burt will be a great family companion.

    We recently rescued Buster and without Gusty's help, I'm not sure we would have been able to keep him. First, he didn't like my other dog and bit him. He would also chew everything in site, bark at everything that passed the house, pull me all over on the leash, and toilet in the house. He was a handful! Gusty helped me develop a plan for success, which I have been working on everyday. Buster is like a different dog. He is going to fit well into our pack.
