"Hi Alison.

I have my buzzer working and Rosie and I went on a long walk this morning looking for dogs. We found a ton an Rosie did phenomenal. She didn’t react to any including the 2 wild ones I was telling you about. One loose poodle has no effect. At the end of our walk, 3 tiny dogs came by on long leashes. I stopped and had her sit, and they walked right by coming within 8’. Rosie just sat there. I did have to hit the buzzer for a squirrel and for the security car, but that was it. I need to figure a way to treat her through the muzzle. We will try the beach later today."

"Hi F,
We want to thank you for reaching out to Alison Armao regarding our initial concerns over Paisley (now named Bailey) and the severe socialization issues she was experiencing early on in her adoption.
Alison contacted us the same day. She made a personal visit to our home to evaluate Bailey and watch her interaction with her dog (Summer) that she brought with her for this session. Alison was able to get control of Bailey’s socialization anxiety when meeting strange dogs while on a leash. She also helped her make friends with a neighbor dog that Bailey had shown aggression toward previously. Bailey is now interacting beautifully with all our neighboring dogs. In short, Alison is amazing! We are going to take advantage of her training talents going forward and have already had a second training session in our home. Bailey loves Alison!
We realize it’s not just about Bailey and that we are in training mode too. We believe Bailey can and will be a truly great family addition for us. We know we’re a work in progress, but we are pleased with the start and committed to training Bailey up to her full potential with Alison’s help.
You should know that Alison would not accept payment from us on her first home visitation, stating that it was a contribution from the Hilton Head Humane Society. So collectively your teamwork saved the save! We are grateful and praising both of your efforts with our dog loving friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you for connecting us!"
