Brenda has been amazing in her work with Murphy, my 2-year-old Aussie rescue. I'm amazed at how he is slowly but surely responding - and to her patience with me as she trains me to be more patient and go at his pace, not mine or hers. Murphy is a wonderful companion, but came with a lot of baggage and a load of anxiety. Brenda understands him in a way I've never seen a dog trainer do. He's made progress to reduce his growling when he decides he's in danger or could be, and he's able to calmly let others pass him on walks - although still careful. He is finally even letting another dog go by without reacting too much, but responding to me on the first command to let them alone. Murphy is still a work in progress with Brenda and I can't wait to see him grow even further. Her humor is as great as her compassion. I strongly recommend her and am so glad I found her.
