“Patti is a patient, effective trainer but more importantly she’s not afraid to think outside the box and try new things to get the results you need.  Gucci came to us with some pretty severe separation anxiety.  He was the sweetest dog when we were home, but no matter what we tried, he would get destructive to the point of tearing down walls and hurting himself when we were away.  Unfortunately conventional training wouldn’t work for him but Patti came in to our home and started treating Gucci right away.  But more than that, she gave us the tools we needed to be able to continue that training in teaching Gucci to self sooth without her assistance.  These tools were invaluable to us as we can now leave the house knowing that we won’t come home to a frantic injured dog or a destroyed house.  While Gucci still does have moments of anxiety they are very few and far in between and much less severe.  I have no doubt that with time they will be gone completely and that’s thanks to Patti.”
