This is such a long overdue review but we absolutely adore Erin. We have a little pittie who had trouble regulating her big emotions and Erin was so patient with her and gave us such great learning plans for each session that really helped calm our pup down. Couldn’t recommend Erin enough to everyone and their pups!

Erin is amazing at what she does! You can tell right away how much she cares about dogs, and it really comes through in her training approach. I especially appreciate her focus on training us (not just our dog), so we feel confident and equipped to handle an easily overstimulated adolescent pup. She gave us so many tools and resources to set us up for success, plus incredibly detailed notes after each session that have helped us stay on track. We've seen great progress since working with Erin. Highly recommend!

We’ve been working closely with Erin since November 2022, just a week after bringing Virgil home. He’s our first puppy and, while he’s an absolute love bug, he’s also got a lot of Big Feelings that have translated into some negative behaviours like reactivity. Erin’s been an incredible partner in helping us understand him and how to set him up for success, and in addition to teaching Virgil so many things, has also taught us the best way to manage him and help him have the happiest life. She’s extremely thoughtful and dedicated, and works really hard to adjust her training programs and approach to each dog and their individual quirks. It’s so clear how very much she loves dogs—even, or perhaps especially, the weirdos like Virgil—and wants what is best for them. We trust her completely and are fortunate beyond measure to be able to work with her.

Erin has been part of our family for five years, since my older dog Kingsley was just four months old. Under her tutelage and care, Kingsley went from a nervous pup to a confident fella who suits up to train, from the basics to tricks. We joke that Erin is his happy place, but it’s true. When we brought him our pup Hugo a couple months ago, Erin jumped right into helping us make Hugo feel comfortable in the city and socialized to his new home and brother and everything else that came with it. Erin is that special person who knows how to train dogs and their people, in a way that makes their people feel good about their dog parenting skills. (Just ask her about my puppy parent meltdowns.) One of the more amazing things Erin did was set the boys up for success in their relationship with co-training. Because of her expert work, we have two well-behaved dogs who love each other, love life, and love her!

Erin is fantastic. We just started working together and she is the best balance of kind and informative. She is engaging, observant, and very easy to talk to. I especially appreciate her ability to meet our dog where he is and not make us feel bad for having to do things like tie her shoes outside the door (so she wouldn’t lean over him and spook him). She was extremely thorough in our initial session and gave us very tangible takeaways. We look forward to continuing to work together.
