Andrea is amazing at honing in on your dog’s needs and giving you concrete “homework” and activities to take away from your in-person sessions. We started working with Andrea just over 2 weeks after adopting our 2 year old rescue, Walter, who was exhibiting very anxious and what seemed like aggressive behaviours on leash and around the city. After the first session, Andrea figured out that Walter was in fact VERY anxious and was not actually aggressive but just sensitive to physical touch and personal space. She helped identify his triggers and signs of anxiety on walks so that we could work on turning them into positive experiences. In about 4 sessions, Andrea set us up with the tools we needed to help reduce Walter’s (and our own!) leash anxieties and drastically improve his leash-walking and social skills in the city. She helped us understand our dog and how to read his body language, but most importantly how to act on it which ultimately has lead to a much more content and relaxed dog both at home and in the city. Highly recommend City Dogs for in-person sessions! Thanks Andrea!
