“I can’t say enough good things about Erin! I have just adopted Misty from the shelter and she has a tendency of being fear reactive with other dogs. And I had no idea on how to train a dog like this. I wanted to be able to take her on walks and not be terrified of seeing another dog and pulled on the walk. I started working with Erin and just after a couple of sessions you can see the difference in Misty. Erin is patient, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about helping dogs and their owners. She hasn’t just trained Misty but she has taught me to be confident in myself and that has made such a difference in Misty. Our walks are better after each time we work with Erin. I am beyond grateful to have met Erin !”

“I had tried a few different trainers and a group training program without much success when Erin was recommended to me. I have a very sweet big rottweiler named Lala who is young but needed a lot of help. Erin made both Lala and me feel comfortable and like we could be successful with this process. Even after the first lesson there were noticeable differences. Erin is very patient; she has a strong knowledge base and great experience. I felt like she was able to immediately assess Lala and her needs but also, she was able to assess my knowledge and needs. Erin has trained me to be able to be a better "pack leader" and helps me to continue to feel confident in all the things Lala and I are learning. I have already recommended her to several friends and will continue to! Thank you Erin- you are amazing!! ”

“Erin is stern and confident, while also being very kind and gentle with Barley Boo. He’s a pup and can be very stubborn, but Erin has been very effective in getting him to respond to her commands. I also appreciate that she sends up follow up instructions and videos from the commands we went through during our sessions, so it’s easier to continue training at home after the session. Erin is very knowledgeable and great with communication!”

“Erin has been volunteering her time at our shelter for quite some time and is exceedingly knowledgeable about dogs. She works with our dogs with behavioral issues. Several of the dogs we thought would never make it out of the shelter have made great progress and finally found their forever homes. This is all thanks to Erin's training and dedication to bring out the best in these dogs. I would highly recommend Erin as a trainer. We are extremely fortunate at The Buddy Foundation that Erin chose us to share her talent and obvious love of dogs! ”

"I met Erin when I went to the buddy foundation in search of a dog that was perfect for me. She introduced me to Enzo now named Inzo and I knew he was already so well trained. Erin was kind enough to explain all the commands and hard work she had put in towards training Inzo before he went off to his forever home. Erin is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful about all dogs and their nature. I am really thankful for her help and passing on great training tips and tricks. Erin has provided me with information on how to fine tune the training she has already worked on with my dog so that I can best meet his needs and encourage him to be successful. I would absolutely continue working with Erin to ensure my dog continues to move in a positive direction.

“I have learned many, many things from Erin regarding raising and rearing pets. The most obvious is that I am the biggest problem with my dog’s behavior. One tilt of his head and I fold like a house of cards! Erin has helped me see that I am trainable too.

But perhaps the most life altering lesson Erin has taught me is how to handle my pets during storms. Living in Texas, a tremendous storm out of nowhere is not uncommon and my heart would break watching my dog and cats panic and quiver with each clap of thunder. Erin taught me how to engage with them so that they now associate storms with FUN! It can be 3:00 am and storming and I will wake up to 6 bright eyes eagerly awaiting toys and treats. They are not only no longer afraid of the storms, but they also are now excited during storms. Thank you, Erin for making a difference in all of our lives.”
