 “Jenna has exceeded our expectations as a trainer.

I know she puts all of herself into this program and into her teams and it is apparent in how she treats everyone. Her directness has been SO needed because it is done in a kind and helpful way.

She isn’t someone who just says something so you get it quickly, she wants us to learn and grow along with our dog. She makes herself available for communication – celebrations and areas of need.

She is like a dog fairy godmother by granting wishes and helping those who feel down in the dumps.”

 “Goal-Oriented Goodbyes: Such a game changer!”

“Tucker's SA is a very emotional thing for me especially after struggling to work through it on my more or less on my own before.

Having this method to organize and plan our training sessions has been huge for me.

Goal-Oriented Goodbyes really helped me focus when emotions make my head spin and gives us opportunities for so many little wins along the way to our big goal.”

“A total 180 from where we began.

  • Ballinga has completely overcome his desire to not leave the bedroom for a walk

  • We have all learned how to actually communicate with each other.

  • His biggest improvement is becoming more comfortable around his Dad - 98% of the growling and barking has stopped

  • His noise triggers have significantly decreased

  • He is exploring more of his yard and practicing “being a dog” wherever he chooses

My husband and I are feeling complete freedom from being lost and wondering if this relationship would ever work.

We have reframed our thoughts entirely and KNOW that B will thrive and be happy with us - we all just needed to learn and accept a whole new level of patience surrounding all of it.

We have since started traveling with him and feel completely free from any barriers that held us back before and feel an immense amount of optimism for our future all together.”

“A delivery person dropped off a pup box at our front door while Risk slept down the hall by himself.

He was so non-reactive, we didn’t even know the package was there.”

Bonnie Blanchard and Arthur Fish III & “Risk”

 “We all are leading a less stressful life.

We will always be in recovery and implementing what we learned to continue to progress our reactivity journey with Gracie [but] we can continue to implement on our own for years.

It was not about memorizing a few key concepts but instead learning how to frame and approach problems.”

“If you’re interested in RR, here’s what I say:

Take a step back and identify where you are currently and where you’d like to be.

What are the barriers in your way, and do you have the tools to work through the barriers?

Do you have a support system? Do you have a plan?

If not, then this is a great resource.

I don’t know of other programs that have an online curriculum, workshop videos, or have other guest speakers on for other related topics.

It is all a fantastic experience!

It is so reassuring to see/hear other’s stories/situations and be able to relate and engage in discussions/provide feedback.”

Kim O & “Zeus”

When we decided to join, we had tried both in-person trainers available in our town and surrounding area.

Walks were stressful for us, and getting out of our walkway surrounded by a row of townhomes that we live in was always an ordeal.

We really couldn’t ever relax on our deck or backyard (or even have a peaceful dinner) because anyone walking by would set him off.

Tension was high between me and Ian, and with Franklin because we’d get emotional after a tough day with him. 

[Now] Franklin is playing more, communicating with us more (let’s go this way, let’s get out of here!), and able to go to the vet with less anxiety.

He’s able to sunbathe and relax with us on our deck, even while there’s a ton of activity going on around us.

He’s also prompted us to go on new trails during walks that before would make him too afraid. 

This program reinforced that we can overcome triggers with positive reinforcement techniques only.

“We wanted to move into a stage of our training not constantly based on management.

We wanted to be able to help Zaatar change his feelings about his triggers

As a result of Recover Rover, we can go to places that we previously couldn’t because they were too busy and likely stress inducing. 

I’ve been able to trust him more to handle situations that he previously couldn’t.

Our relationship has evolved into a more playful one, which I think is a result of less stress in his daily life.”

“We’re in a much better spot

with Otto thanks to the Membership. 

Otto has regained his own confidence and the confidence in us as his parents. 

Otto is much more apt to spend time in different areas of the house, no longer using the dining room as a crutch. 

He is also less sensitive to sound and is willing to leave the house to go on walks and sniffaris in the woods near our house.

We feel much more confident in our abilities to read and understand Otto, and understand that if a triggering event presents itself, we will work with Otto to get through the event and ensure he can decompress appropriately afterwards. 

I also think we can empathize with him in a deeper way. 

He looks to us for guidance and we know that we can give him what he needs to be comfortable, happy, and independent.”
