Shaggy Dog Pet Services

We adopted a six year old pocket beagle, Penny, from a breeder. She came with severe separation anxiety. She was destructive when we went out and so we tried to crate her, but she got worse and soiled in her crate, and tore everything apart in there. We couldn't go out anywhere and were at the point of taking her back when we read Shaggy Dog's website. After three months, with Victoria, the change in our dog is like night and day - no more destruction or soiling. She is now a pleasure to have and there is no chance she will be taken back or rehomed because she is now the dog we wanted. Victoria has given us the tools to work with and we are now equipped to continue working with our little girl to increase the length of time we can leave her alone. Loved working with Victoria. We are seniors and Victoria was so patient with us, even when it came to finding our way around her zoom lessons. I have already recommended her to other dog owners and will definitely continue to do so whenever I see the need. Because of Victoria's training, we are on the move to have our life back again.

I had 3 wonderful sessions with Victoria. I am a first time puppy owner, so I was nervous about how to train my little miniature poodle. Victoria was the answer! She is patient, kind, knowledgeable and efficient. I was amazed how much we got done in 3 one hour sessions. I really feel confident that I am on the way to having a well trained and socialized puppy. Thank you Victoria for all your hard work and great follow-up emails detailing what to work on. I highly recommend Victoria’s services for any dog owner.

Victoria was very knowledgeable while assisting us in learning to understand our dog's behaviour. She has taught us the skills to respond correctly to his high energy and boredom. We are so very pleased with the services provided, and are very thankful to Victoria for helping us learn the tools to better support our busy boy.
