  I cannot recommend Helene enough! Before working with Helene I was struggling with my dogs behaviors. My dog is very noise sensitive, barked excessively, and had poop accidents in the house. She gave me great hints to help with the behavorial issues, for the barking i used a vibrating collar. I was skeptical but we only used it once (this only startles your dog, does not hurt them in any way)and my dog got the no bark command in one session. My dog will pee the minute she goes outside but I would be out with her for an hour and she would not poop but come right in the house and Bam!. Helene suggested to take her out to pee then put her in the cage for 5 minutes then take her back put. This has been a game changer! We took my dog to Lowe's and Panera to let her get use to noises along with learning the basic commands. Helene really knows dogs. You will not regret having her train your dog. She truly cares. Remember you have to be consistent but your dog will be so obedient afterwards! Its totally worth it! Thank you Helene!

  When we first adopted Tony Lama he was having a hard time settling in to our routine and jumping and his rough biting play was out of control. My partner and I were nearly in tears daily with frustration and thought maybe we would have to re-home Tony. The first 5 minutes that Helene was in our home Tony stopped jumping and biting. The next few visits Helene got Tony to walk on a leash and follow basic commands. Helene is wonderful and an answer to our prayers. Her lessons with Tony were simple and straightforward but very effective. Now Tony has great manners and is a joy to be around. Walks are a breeze and play time is always fun.

  We have a baby, and a very sweet and excited Doberman, Ferti, that we needed to get calmed down and under better control. This was made possible, and us capable, with help from Helene. She taught us how to treat and handle Ferti with compassion and love throughout our training, along with the proper amount of assertiveness. We recieved this knowledge and after just six weeks of training and working with her, we have been more comfortable to have Ferti interact with our baby more and more. Our walks have been more enjoyable, and safer for Ferti and I. I recently had a surgery that rendered my arm immobile, so this was very important to us.

  Helene was incredible teaching us and our dog! She helped us in so many ways with simple yet effective tips and tools. We thought our dog would always have the habits and jumpiness but with just 2 sessions she now walks perfectly on the leash and even ignores people in public when she used to jump on them. Being 70+ lbs we would always be worried she would hurt a person or child unintentionally since she was always in reckless play mode. We can't say enough of Helene and her effective training methods. She helped us with our confidence and so excited to now bring our dog wherever we go!

  I cannot recommend Helene enough! We were struggling with leash walking and some aggressive behavior towards our children and we had no clue where to begin. Within just a few sessions, we saw great improvement in Maverick's behavior. Helene doesn't just train the dog; she teaches you how to communicate with them. Our walks are finally less stressful and we haven't seen any aggressive behavior in a while.
