Awesome doesn't even come close to describing Brenda's magic with dogs. She is a true "dog whisperer ". I have a rescue dog who has been previously abused, neglected and terrorized. She is a very gentle 15 pound American Cocker Spaniel who is afraid of everything and everyone (no wonder given her past experiences with humans). I have always trained my own dog, but because of the severe terror, lack of confidence and trust issues my cocker displayed, I knew I needed an expert to help us. Brenda came to the house and worked with my dog and me. We were given written "assignments " to practice between our scheduled sessions. She has superior knowledge of dog behavior and shares her insight freely. By the end of four visits, my "fur baby" was able to look me in the eyes and follow basic commands (sit, stay, come, focus). If you want a confident, well mannered dog I strongly suggest you contact Awesome Mannered Canines and speak with Brenda. I think you will be happy with the results!
