One of our dogs suddenly developed major separation anxiety after a bad storm last summer. We worked with vets and tried supplements/medications for months with no luck until we began working with Bethany. She was incredibly quick to respond to my inquiry and we worked together closely for 8 months working on a variety of skills to help boost the confidence of our anxious dog. The change he went through was incredible! Bethany is knowledgable and kind; she taught us how to better understand our dogs' behavioral cues while always being encouraging and uplifting during such a stressful time (for us and our dogs!). I recommend her to everyone I can! She loves every dog as if they were her own. Seeing our dog happy and relaxed again has given me such a peace of mind. Thank you for all your help!

Bethany is a phenomenal dog trainer! Our adult rescue dogs, Biscuit and Buddy, are currently benefiting tremendously from her science-based, positive reinforcement approach. She has a deep understanding of canine behavior, which helps her quickly identify and address the specific challenges our pups face.

We're working on obedience, overcoming anxieties and problems stemming from their past as abandoned pups, as well as reactivity, fear, and leash behavior. Bethany skillfully personalizes her methods for each dog's unique personality, making the training not only effective but also a bonding experience. Her compassionate demeanor puts Biscuit and Buddy at ease, creating a safe and encouraging learning environment. They get SO excited when they hear Bethany arrive. They also feel safe and happy when they board with Bethany, which gives us incredible peace of mind.

We're so grateful for Bethany's expertise and dedication. Our dogs are blossoming into happy, confident, relaxed and playful doggos now able to live their best lives!! This 5-star review is absolutely deserved – we couldn't recommend her more highly!

Training is a journey, it does not happen overnight. Trust Bethany's science-backed techniques. You'll be glad you did. Your pupper even more so 🙂

It is fantastic to watch Bethany work with our Terrier/Pit rescue. She not only is training him, but educating me as well. She deliberate and purposeful, addressing the individual needs of our dog. We put in the work and our dog is improving each week.

Bethany is amazing!! Bethany has had a solution for every issue we have had with our pit bull! She is extremely knowledgeable and kind. Not only does she train out of love and respect to the dog, she also teaches you how to continue training with your dog as well. Our dog is a completely different dog thanks to Bethany’s training. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!!

Bethany trained and worked with my mother-in-law's dog, and she was fantastic! When we unexpectedly ended up with a second dog that our first did not get along with, she was the first person we thought to call.
She has worked with our two dogs for over a year now, and they both adore her. We have seen so much improvement in our second dog. She is happier and has more confidence than ever. Our first has improved as well.
The great thing about Bethany is that she isn't there just to train your dog. She helps you understand the what, why, and how and the science behind it. She doesn't just do it for you, she teaches you the skills you need to be a better owner. If you don't put in work as the owner, you will not have a trained dog. End of story. She gets to know your dogs and builds a relationship with them. She uses this knowledge and your goals and needs to make a specific plan catered for you. She also comes to your house or will meet you somewhere like the park. Her prices are more than fair. We will never use another dog trainer as long as she is in business!

We are forever grateful to Bethany for helping our anxious rescue, Maxwell, learn to calm down, focus, and build confidence! Maxwell is a different dog than the one we brought home from a local shelter on New Year’s Eve of 2020. Maxwell was about 14 months then, had been through several shelters, foster groups, and a failed adoption; along the way, he got separated from two siblings. (He now has an older, adoring mate.) Within his first weeks at our house, he had broken and escaped two Kong metal crates and eaten through multiple leashes and collars. When we walked him at our favorite parks, he was reactive to other dogs—so much so that I refused to ever take him to a park again after he nearly got away from me one day. Every walk was a miserable, stressful experience—even the walks on our street. Bethany started working with him in August of that year. Having had cats most of my life, I never understood the power of the simple commands of sit, stay, relax, place, etc., until I met Bethany and watched her begin to transform Maxwell. I now marvel at how these simple commands help our boy calm down when he’s stressed, how he is becoming less reactive to external stressors, and how fast he calms down now when he’s excited, vs. how long it took him last year and the year before. Last year, we got 2 new sets of neighbors with dogs, and Maxwell was stressed much of the year, but thanks to some training sessions with one of the neighbors he has calmed down and we have been enjoying calm, fun, long walks on our street and nearby road. This spring, he doesn’t bark and go nuts when he hears the other dogs. We are now back to training at a busy park, and we look forward to more progress in the months ahead. Our sessions are always fun and rewarding experiences for Maxwell and for all. He absolutely loves every session!

Bethany is SO knowledgeable!!! She has been and continues to be the biggest help to us and our dog! From the very first session we could tell she really knows her stuff! She’s been helping our dog with his reactiveness and being scared in situations. Not only does she help your dog, but will help you understand why and how to train them!! So many trainers out there just show you what to do but don’t actually give you explanations on why it’s helping your pet, so it can be hard to keep up the training. But Bethany is great at giving the why behind everything she does so that you’re aware of the importance of every task you’re doing! This makes lasting results for you and your pet! I won’t take my pets to anyone else for training for the rest of my life!!

If you're looking for a dog trainer for anything, look no further! Bethany is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and hard working. She's truly an expert in her field; and since our first meeting, it was very clear that her career is her calling.

My dog, after suffering a dog attack and harsh discipline at daycare, became very reactive and insecure. In our first session, Bethany diagnosed the problem and developed a treatment plan on the spot. Each one of our subsequent sessions has been nothing but steps forward, and my dog is now confident and calm.

As an owner working with Bethany, I feel empowered to better handle and care for my dog. Bethany is an incredible teacher and helped me to understand what was happening with my dog so that I could easily implement her interventions between sessions. She's encouraging, easy to talk to, and fun to work with; and my dog LOVES her 🙂

She's respectful of both time and money, and her services are worth every penny. I'm soon moving to ~5 hours away and plan to make trips back to the area for training sessions.
