What Other People Have To Say

Dr. Ford’s “house call” was very helpful to us in understanding and addressing a behavioral issue we were experiencing with our very special kitty, Smokey.  The follow-up and response to my subsequent e-mail queries to her were very prompt and supportive.  I would definitely recommend her services to any pet owner in need of this type of help.  The improvement in Smokey’s behavior has resulted in a lot less stress for her and for the rest of our family as a result!

Elly has made HUGE progress since your visit.  She has not attacked any dogs and has learned the new commands that you showed us.  I am so grateful that I can take Elly around other dogs without any confrontations.  It's amazing what we accomplished in just a short time.

Our visit was very successful--Dr. Ford met with us in person in our home to evaluate our two dogs, Beau and Fritz, in their own environment.  She provided us with insight into their behavior and why they were experiencing dog fights.  She also gave us training tips and suggestions to use on a go forward basis to help the two dogs adjust to each other and their changing positions within the "pack" based on their ages and some physical difficulties that Fritz was experiencing due to his age.  In addition to the initial visit she has been there for us via phone and email whenever we had a question.  I firmly believe that without the suggestions and training Dr. Ford provided we were only a few short incidents away from someone-dog or human being seriously injured.  I have recommended her services to anyone who is having difficulty and will continue to do so.  I am proud to say to date my "boys" are behaving much better with each other and as a result I have a much calmer household!!!

We feared that our 19-month old Springer Spaniel had a ferocious side beyond our capability to handle. Dr. Ford helped us to overcome that fear by understanding our dog's behavior. We continue to consult with her on an ongoing basis as questions arise.
