"Allyson,
Thanks for the follow up I had to a Councillor inquiry about "what an animal behaviour consultant" is.  After our ph. discussion I was curious about the Compass program and about to do a google search.  The County is fortunate to have an Animal Control Officer with your different experience, commitment to professional development and the pursuit of innovative techniques.  Al"

Just wanted to give a special thanks to Allyson at Dog Behave for her advise and expertise.  Because of you, we have the most well behaved, loving, kind, and well mannered little boy. We have many times said Allyson was a true blessing to our family.  We very much respect her opinion and her approach as everything she has taught us has been effective. Luke responds to her very well.   I would definitely recommend Allyson to all my friends, family and all of you that are considering a new addition to your family.  After interviewing several behaviourists, we choose Allyson and we couldn't have been happier with our decision. We have since referred her to several people that all have the same opinion!  Patricia and John 

 

"Hi Allyson,
Just wanted to touch base with you to give you really good news.... Have conquered putting on the muzzle on Rusty and he was actually very good.... AND did it without the welding gloves...The basket muzzle makes all the difference... My sister came with her Bouvier so it was a must and he has done extremely well and so have I...Finally I am the leader...
Even my sister has noticed a tremendous difference in the dogs and ME!!!"

Hi there Allyson
Hope all is well.  Just sending you a update.  The dogs are very well behaved.  No problems in the house or the car.  Gracie has her barking brain lapses in the car, this is rare.  Walks are good.  For the last 9 days she has accepted the haltie.  It's a 50/50 crap shoot when we pass dogs. It is getting better and I expect that improvement will continue".
Take care Marty

"Hello Allyson,
Murphy is certainly improving.
Car rides and walks are also part of our daily routine. Before each walk, he use to attack the gate door and now he simply sits in front of the gate, a huge improvement. When going for car rides, he use to whine at the back, that has completely stopped."
Thanks George

Hi Allyson
A quick note to let you know that the thunder treats work really well for Sunny.  The very first storm of the season, I did as instructed and Sunny being the treat motivated piglet that he is, responded fabulously.  He was freaked at first as usual (the storm went on for at least 50 mins) and by the end of it all he was sitting relaxed and seemed very calm.
Sunny thanks you too, as a fearful dog is not a happy dog.
Thanks again, Lindie
