OUR HAPPY CLIENTS

Last Fall, we received a call from this family. At that time, the little human in this picture had not yet made his grand earthly appearance. Bear, the Rottweiler mix, had some very concerning resource guarding issues. He had already reached out and touched his family. With a baby on the way, we had to be all about Team Bear!

We worked to help resolve his guarding issues, by not immediately addressing the resource guarding issues. You see, when we begin our training, we start by building a relationship, and setting a baseline of behaviors and expectations. Only when we have that foundation layered in the work, can we fairly and consistently begin working to address the hot buttons. I received this picture from his family last week with this comment…

“You should use this pic and say ‘this is what I make possible for families’ because this NEVER would have happened without you!! 😘😘❤️❤️

“Stacee is an excellent trainer! She knows exactly how to handle the most extreme cases. I had a dog with excessive barking and fear issues. She taught me how to handle the situation and calm the dog. She not only trains the dog, but the owner too. If you have a dog with behavior issues, Stacee can help!”

“Stacee is great!! She has a lot of experience and is very compassionate with her teaching! I would definitely recommend her!!”

Beau and Phoebe

“Stacee at Southern Dogworks has done an amazing job with our rescue dog (Asher). You can totally trust that your dog will be well cared for, well loved and well trained. I am very impressed. She has a very gentle, patient and skilled approach that works incredibly well. She even made ‘you tube’ videos and keeps us posted on his progress. Asher is very happy and so are we!!!:-) thank you!”

Joan & Asher

“Stacee was our savior when we decided to rescue our white deaf boxer Abe.  What we didn’t realize was that just because we already loved him, it wasn’t enough.  Within a few hours Stacee had shown us what we could do to improve our relationship with our new rescue.  We now have a better understanding of what Abe needed emotionally from his new pet parents.”

Christyna & Abe

“My senior poodle and newly adopted boxer were having a couple issues. I thought the aggression problem was a behavioral one with my newly adopted dog. The problem was sporadic but intensified with time. On a recommendation I called Stacee. She quickly appraised the situation. She gave me a specific plan of action, then spent time making sure I understood the solution and after several weeks the problem was GONE!  Not once did I raise my voice, spank my dog or intimidate her. She and I worked together until she understood what was expected of her.  My dogs are spoiled and rule the roost. I never got the impression that Stacee judged me for that! She has a very gentle calming presence. I never felt stressed working with her and she didn’t express frustration at my shortcomings.  I have called and emailed her with questions and issues. Stacee always responds thoroughly and quickly.  I have referred her and will gladly/confidently do it again!  I am thrilled with the results but even happier to call her a new friend.”

Nicole & Polly

“As first time dog owners, we had no clue what we were doing. Stacee came to our house and it made all of the difference in our dog’s behavior and our confidence. She didn’t just TELL us what to do…she SHOWED us, and then watched us do it to make sure we had it down. She was amazing with my daughter, who was very timid around our dog. I also know I can contact Stacee any time for advice if we are having an issue. One time I contacted her and she sent me a video so I could see how to handle it. I can’t say enough great things! I would recommend Southern Dogworks to everyone!”
