Testimonials

“Erica has been absolutely wonderful in helping my fiancé and me train our Akita puppy, Moose. He can be a handful, but Erica has been there for us every step of the way and we now have a very well behaved puppy. She genuinely cares for the dogs she works with and it shows. She has unbelievable patience, understanding, and knowledge and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better trainer.”

“I’m so glad I found Erica! She is an amazing trainer. My dog was so leash reactive that it was a struggle to take her anywhere. There were immediate and lasting improvements working with Erica and now I can take my dog out without stressing. She works with me so I understand exactly how to communicate clearly to my dog. Her training style involves a lot of praise and encouragement and my dog is always excited to train. I can’t say enough how talented and great Erica is. She is so great to work with is as invested in my success with my dog as I am.”

“My 3 yo Dachshund mix and I began working with Erica in August. After our initial meeting, consultation & a little light training exercise, he was more relaxed & obedient.

Fast forward 6 sessions and I have this little guy off leash, walking next to me at City Creek Canyon with the most confidence while having the time of his life.

We still use a leash, which he is amazing on but we are backpackers & outdoors in the summer. The off leash, recall training was paramount to be able to have Dodger safely enjoying the outdoors with more freedom than ever & our bond is stronger than ever!”

“Erica has been amazing with helping my boyfriend and I train our Border collie puppy Nasa! Like she has put it he is a lot of dog, and he is our first dog too (not the best choice we know). He is from herding lines and very high drive and energy. When we first came to her he was very reactive on the leash. He would bark and lunge at any one and any dog, and pulling like crazy. After starting training with Erica he is coming along SO extremely well! He is now learning how to focus and is happy to work! She has taught us how to do everything with him and she is very good at explaining everything to someone who came in knowing nearly nothing about dog training. He is doing very well with heel, and the more we work with him the better he gets at commands and his reactivity. We drive all the way from Logan each time we get the chance to see her because it’s way worth every penny! We are looking forward to continuing to work with her and having Nasa reach his full potential, and get into some fun rally obedience competitions that I know she can help us accomplish!”

“Erica was a Godsend. We invited Finley, a 13 week old Scottish Terrier into our lives. This was during the holidays. With everyone headed back to a regular schedule soon, we knew we needed help.

Our goal was to help Fin feel as welcome and as comfortable with us as possible while settling into a routine. Erica was able, willing and extra capable of what we needed.

She did doggy daycare with Finley as he grew, acclimated and worked his way to completing his vaccinations.

Erica was a thinking partner and a co/author of his journal so we could keep his feeding and schedule on track. Her knowledge, kindness and workability with us and Fin made it possible to enjoy his first weeks in our family as well as teach us how to be strong puppy parents.

Erica, you are a wonder. Your concern for dogs and your intelligent way of thinking things through is a vital asset to those of us with puppies and grown dogs. Thank you.”
