Testimonials

  • Chela

    “Prior to meeting Veronica, I was anxious to find a way for Chela and I to enjoy leaving the house together. Chela was a very reactive and anxious dog, making even walks down the block a huge laborious task. Veronica offered me the two major things I was looking for: training in Spanish and affordable prices. Through our work together, Chela has progressed immensely with her reactivity - to the point where we can now go on longer walks (45 minutes) without her anxiety/reactivity causing exhaustion after just 5 minutes. I now feel more connected to her outside the home than I did before; I can speak to her softly or give her body cues and she picks them up right away. Her attention is now more on me than everything else going on, and she feels safer - which was my goal all along! We couldn’t have done it without Veronica, and we plan to continue our journey with her to keep growing and bettering our connection 💚” - Valeria

  • Kygo

    “Veronica's work with our little schnauzer Kygo has completely changed our life. We went from having a little pup who ruled our house and our schedule, to an absolute angel in every sense of the word. We never knew how anxious and in need of discipline our little guy was. With Veronica's patience and clear guidance (with us and him!) he transformed in a few short weeks, and she gave us the tools to reinforce the new behavior. We used to be unable to leave him at home or sleep apart from him due to severe separation anxiety, and now we're able to go about our lives freely. We didn't even know it was possible to have such a well-trained pup and how much more joy he would bring to our lives. Veronica not only gave Kygo the tools and foundation he needed, but she also gave us a thorough and carefully articulated new way to live our lives and establish our relationship with him. Whenever we needed her for a bit of advice, she was there. We've told everyone we know with dog needs, they must see Veronica!” - John-Eric & Liezerie

  • Mako

    “Veronica has an innate ability to connect with each and every dog. We started working with her over a year ago when Mako was 7 months old. We wanted to address her leash pulling and reactivity, but by working with Veronica, we’ve accomplished so much more!! All three of us are more confident in our abilities, we learned how to productively foster a calmer mindset for Mako, strengthen her recall, take her to public areas, and build her confidence around new dogs and environments!! Ultimately, we learned that our relationship with Mako needed some work and the progress we’ve made with Veronica is incredible! Mako now responds neutrally to dogs and is much more responsive to redirection. Veronica has had such a positive influence on us all. She continues to be incredibly supportive and thoughtful. We recommend anyone with a dog or those considering adding a dog to their family to work with Veronica – her personalized methods can help any breed/size dog and their owners!” - Leah & Mike

  • Crosby

    “After Crosby’s training sessions & boarding with Veronica, the difference in our lives is night & day. Her balanced approach to training enabled us to teach Crosby how to calm himself down/have an on-off switch indoors, behave outdoors/on walks, & address many other challenges his hyper-excited mindset really struggled with. She provided proper guidance in unfamiliar situations & instilled full confidence in challenging our pup. She has consistently been there to address any doubts we may have had. The result: a super responsive, well-mannered good boy, all at just 10 months old. This result does not come overnight; as a "pawrent," you have to show up every day to guide your pup in the right direction & build that relationship. Veronica sets you up for success to do just that & will be there to help you through your hurdles/struggles. Overall, we can’t thank her enough for her help & support & would 100% recommend her to anyone.” - Issac & Cas

  • Jones

    "Veronica has been a game changer. She helped us regain control of our household and start enjoying time with our pup. Jones is large, lazy and a little nervous - he would refuse to walk around the block or venture into new settings. Progress was so slow with a previous trainer, it felt like nothing worked. Veronica helped us reset boundaries and turn things around quickly. She gave Jones the space to become a more confident and happy pup. He will always be large, lazy and a little nervous, but now we have the tools and understanding to have fun and experience new things together. Veronica is a clear communicator, and we appreciate her following up after training sessions so we feel supported into the future.” - Katie

  • Olive

    “Veronica was such a blessing to our family! Olive had pushed us to our limits and we felt like we had nowhere to turn. Trusting someone with our precious pup was no easy feat, but because Veronica came so highly recommended, we felt confident we were making the right decision. After her training, Olive came back home with a new outlook and new behaviors! Sleeping in a crate! Walking (not pulling) on her leash! Staying calm when people come into our home! And, most importantly, feeling self-confident enough to enjoy life with so much less anxiety. We're so thrilled with our experience and HIGHLY recommend Veronica and the magic she makes.” - Effie

  • Cowboy & Stanley

    “Veronica changed our life for the better! We initially reached out as we needed help with our anxious dog Stanley. Veronica worked wonders with him and we decided we should attempt to train our senior dog Cowboy.

    I now can walk both dogs with my two year old son no problem thanks to Veronica! Her expertise and patience made all the difference and I loved my weekly homework. We are forever grateful for Veronica's dedication and love for dogs and highly recommend her services. Our fur babies are forever changed, all thanks to Veronica!” - Lisa & Adam

  • Frannie

    “Veronica is the best of the best. We started working with her when Frannie was an energetic 8-month old pup trying to chew everything, pulling on the leash, and unable to relax as we tried to work from home throughout the day. Working with Veronica changed everything!! After our program, Frannie was a different dog - listening, able to relax in “place,” and go on off leash adventures. Veronica equipped us with the information & tools we needed in order to keep the training going at home, and our relationship with Frannie has been infinitely more balanced and sustainable ever since. Veronica is extremely knowledgeable and patient, and we cannot stop recommending her !” - Sarah & Ryan

  • Gumball & Sherman

    “To say that Veronica changed our lives and our relationship with our dogs is an understatement! We started working with our overzealous and leash aggressive puppy, Sherman, that I couldn't control on walks. Through our work with Veronica, he became a respectful and well-behaved gentleman both on the leash and at the house, even with visitors. Then, we worked on our small 8-year old rescue named Gumball, who we’d resigned ourselves to her not being potty trained. After two weeks of an intensive potty training boot camp with Veronica and continued work at home, Gumball is a potty-trained dog. The puppy pads are gone and she’s a much happier and more respectful pup. Veronica works miracles!” - Hannah

  • Achilles & Neoma

    “We have two very different dogs with opposite behavioral issues - our oldest was showing aggressive behavior towards our baby & barking incessantly and our youngest (a rescue from the Korean meat trade) couldn’t go on a simple walk without trembling with fear. The way they’ve both grown is nothing short of miraculous. Our home life has improved significantly! We’re no longer afraid that our eldest will growl at our baby & for the first time ever we’ve been able to go on walks as a family! We can’t recommend Veronica enough. Not only is she great at her job, but she’s also an amazing person!” - Luisina & Andres

  • Mookie

    “If you’re looking for a dog trainer, look no further! Mookie’s become a better walker, listener & independent-minded pooch. Veronica’s an incredibly patient & masterful trainer. She takes the time to help not only your pup learn, but also you, the pawrent. It was incredible to watch her quickly identify exactly how & what our pup needed and directly address those issues. She clearly loves dogs & treats them with love & respect. We’re so thankful that Veronica helped give us the tools to help Mookie!” - Meaghan & Zaid

  • Josie

    “Veronica was recommended to us by a friend and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! Josie is a rescue and was incredibly shy and reactive. As first time pawrents, we were in over our heads and had no idea where to begin. Veronica answered my many questions and provided us with all of the training tools we needed to be confident in our daily lives. Josie is a much happier, calm pup and is able to enjoy all kinds of on and off leash adventures! We can’t thank Veronica enough!” - Frances

  • Olive

    “We had been struggling with Olive for over 4 years and we finally hit our limit once we had our first baby. She would bark at every person or dog that would pass by, bark at deliveries, and was overall, very anxious. We sought out Veronica and she helped Olive calm down as well as teach us how to properly train her. Ever since her training with Veronica, Olive continues to follow all commands and surprise us with her obedience daily. We cannot thank or recommend Veronica enough!!” - Carissa & Matt

  • Tux

    “Working with Veronica has made my relationship with Tux so much stronger! We adopted Tux from a shelter where he’d already been surrendered twice. He was so fearful of dogs, bikes, balloons - basically anything outside. We tried working with other trainers but couldn’t see progress & lost faith that Tux could be the companion we’d dreamed. When we started working with Veronica, our faith was restored! Now, Tux can come with us just about everywhere! Veronica helped us become the pawrents Tux deserves!” - Morgan

  • Omega

    “Veronica brings in such an unparalleled personal experience and approach to living with your dog, judgement free. Not only does hse teach you the basics, but she also empowers you to be a leader to your dog.” - Irving & Pat

  • Mezcal

    “We began working with Veronica because we wanted to ease our four-legged child, Mezcal, into the arrival of our tiny human. We wanted walks with a stroller to be done safely & calmly so we worked on Mezcal’s hyper vigilance & anxiousness. By the arrival of our little one, Mezcal was a pro. At home, Veronica helped us ensure Mezcal had a calm & safe place to decompress which became a lifesaver when the newborn chaos hit. With Veronica’s guidance, we were able to introduce our little one into the pack almost effortlessly.” - Johny & Shareny

  • Millie

    “Veronica does more than “dog training,” she focuses on lifestyle. Both me & Millie developed positive habits in our daily routines that allowed us to participate in all of the activities that we both enjoy. Millie went from being a very shy & reactive dog to a very outgoing & confident puppy. Veronica deeply cares about her clients & their well-being overall. Millie & I always looked forward to our lessons & the bond that we created is indescribable. I will never be able to thank Veronica enough.” - Rosa

  • Bella

    “Veronica came into our life when Bella was 6 months old. Veronica is amazing. She truly loves what she does and it shows. She has helped us with Bella so much. We are working on us becoming a Therapy Team at Children’s Hospital, and Veronica is helping with training. Bella loves her and is always happy to see her. We also have her board Bella when we need a sitter. Feels good knowing she is in the best care possible. If you’re looking for a trainer look no further, you have found the best.” - Heidi

  • Putter

    “Veronica saved our lives. Our puppy's barking was out of control & he was nipping people who came to our home. Veronica came in, assessed the situation, & actually re-trained US on how to manage Putter. In no time, he was following all commands, his barking and nipping subsided & friends and family couldn't believe his transformation. Veronica is not only effective, she's affordable, accommodating, & super sweet.” - Brad & Shannon

  • Pablo

    “We had such a wonderful experience working with Veronica. Everything she has helped us with has been so beneficial to our pup’s happiness and health. Our pup Pablo gets so excited to see her and my partner and I feel our bond has strengthened with Pablo. She catered to our goals, and answered all the questions we had along the way. Would 10/10 recommend.” - Elissa

  • Lucy

    “Veronica has helped Lucy become a sweet and well-behaved puppy. Veronica consistently came over when Lucy was about 4 months and each visit was like ‘Day and Night.’ Veronica would help me address certain behaviors instantly. Lucy had a lot of fun in training. I also referred Veronica to my neighbors who also have dogs.” - Sarah

  • Ravi

    “To say Veronica changed our life with our dog, Ravi, is an understatement. Her technical proficiency, kind treatment of animals, and understanding when it comes to communicating with a dog is unparalleled. Ravi went from being highly reactive, anxious, and non-responsive on leash to now loose leash walking and responding immediately to verbal commands.” - Sophie & Owen

  • Rocky

    “Rocky’s naturally timid, a bit on the shy side, but Veronica’s expertise helped to draw out his smile. He’s more obedient, more calm around barking dogs and is less jumpy around strangers. I recommend Veronica’s training to every dog owner I see because I see the difference she has made in our lives and my connection with my best friend.” - Rich

  • Winnie

    “Veronica was a life saver for our family! Before we started training with her, walks were always a stressful event with our dog pulling at the leash, fearful of other dogs, and lunging at cars. Thanks to Veronica we’ve seen a total reversal and now we can take Winnie on walks, hikes, and even runs on and off leash and she stays confidently by our side!” - Chris & Nicole
