Angel is a top notch pet behaviorist and I highly recommend her. She helped me work with my rescue cat who had aggression issues and she coordinated with my vet to diagnose her issue. Rosie responded very well to training and by the time Angel was done, I felt confident that I could continue what I learned on my own - and that was the goal. Angel has a wealth of knowledge, is a great listener, and genuinely cared about Rosie and me. She's simply the best.

We recently rescued two brothers and were struggling with some litter mate issues. Angel helped us understand their behavior and gave us a plan to help them get along better. She also happened to mention local emergency vets during one of our sessions, which ended up saving our dog’s life when he went into anaphylactic shock. We’re so grateful for her knowledge and genuine care for our dogs. I highly recommend her!

Angel is wonderful! We hired her for help with our recently rescued dog who was having several behaviors including bite inhibition. As two new dog owners, we learned so much about how to interact with our pup in order to avoid his triggers and reward good behaviors. No bites since we started working with her! Angel helped us with muzzle training so we could safely bring our little one to the vet and he would actually be able to receive an exam. He actually gets excited when he sees the muzzle because of Angel's expertise in training! It was clear Angel truly cared about our family and went above and beyond in taking time to make sure we had the tools we needed. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Angel to any families who need support.

Angel is fantastic. She came recommended by a friend and my veterinarian to help us with our 1 year old pup. She was able to recognize our lifestyle and life stage with three young kids and recommend reasonable and actionable steps that work for the "Right now" phase we are in. She provided a lot of guidance and PDFs that helped with big picture training tips and detailed ways to keep our pup on a schedule and help him feel confidence and safe. We will be working on some leash skills next. I very much appreciate Angel tailoring her advice to our family and not just giving us standard directions that may not be feasible or work with our life style. The information she gave us helps us keep everybody safe and we have the information on next steps to put more detailed training in place as the kids get older so we can all grow together.

I would give 6 stars if I could! I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Angel. I have an incredibly anxious and stubborn pup who does not do well at the vet and needed muzzle training. Over the years, I have tried countless techniques and trainers and all have given up except Angel. She is the most patient person I know and always came up with a plan B when what we were doing wasn't working. She continuously went above and beyond to help with muzzle training and even recommended a veterinary behaviorist to manage anxiety medications in the future. Jax went from seeing a muzzle and becoming inconsolable and aggressive to wearing a muzzle at the vet completely comfortable to the point where he was laying down and almost falling asleep. I am forever thankful for Angel's kindness, patience, and advocacy for my dog and his needs and will definitely use her services again in the future.
