My husband and I adopted Shiloh and she gets along great with Badger, our other dog. She is very affectionate yet started exhibiting behavioral issues almost immediately. She would wet in the house, chew woodwork, furniture, shoes and anything else she could find, everyday. In addition she would jump up on us and would become very jealous if Badger was receiving attention. All our efforts to curb these behaviors did not help. Mike and I thought that we might have to give Shiloh up. Desperate for help we were referred to Christine Nolan. She came into our home and instantly put us at ease. We immediately saw an improvement in her behavior. The wetting has stopped and the only thing Shiloh chews now is her bones and squeaky toys. I am happy to report that Shiloh is a much happier dog and we have a much happier household, thanks to Christine. If it was not Christine we really do feel that we would have ended up finding Shiloh a new home. Kimberly and Mike M.
Christine, Buffy is doing amazing, a little while after you left us something just clicked and she has been great for us! I am happy to report she no longer has any separation anxiety! She doesn’t bark or even look when people walk by our condo or up the stairs or even have a delivery come through our door, unlike the other dogs in our complex. She is a lot better with strange dogs outside, she doesn’t flip out, she just looks at them until we pass by and then goes on with life. Thanks for everything! Laura, Jay and Buffy
We hired Christine to help our 2-year-old Shih Tzu Sammy overcome her fear and insecurity toward people (especially children) and noisy objects. Christine took the time to identify the factors that were causing Sammy’s behavior and put together an action plan for us to work with her daily. She taught us how to master the walk and the right way to introduce her to people. She also taught us techniques to help Sammy overcome her fear of children and noisy objects with a daily walk to the bus stop during school ‘rush hour.’ In just 6 weeks, we saw an amazing improvement in Sammy. She no longer fears people and loud objects such as cars and trucks. We built an agility course in our yard and, with Christine’s suggestions, had her accomplish the whole course in just a matter of days. Christine was especially helpful during these weeks, fielding our phone calls and emails to answer questions as they arose. Christine helped us to make Sammy the most balanced and happy dog she can be. We are so grateful for Christine’s dedication and unwavering support! We would highly recommend her to anyone and would be happy to field any reference calls to discuss our experience. Gary and Melissa Cassera
Wow Christine, it really worked when my friends came in tonight they (dogs) immediately calmed down. Dave came over and did not bother with them when he came in. When they calmed down he went into the living room, told Savannah to come over and SHE DID. Happy and no tail between the legs. I am so thrilled with the two of them. Thank you very much!!!! Betsy R.
I wanted to express my gratitude to you for spending so much time with us today. You are so generous. Your job is so rewarding on so many levels. And, you are so good at what you do. I promise I will do my best to remember everything you taught me. Right now, Macy is lying on the floor next to me in the office while I type this. She said to tell you she is very grateful to you. It is amazing to me how well she is doing. Last week no one could even get her out of her kennel. All of this progress is because of you. Cindy and Bill B.
Hi Christine, Just wanted to send you a quick note of thanks. Moonie has been doing so well. Anxiety is a million times better. When we come home, he no longer is breathless and panting uncontrollably (actually he's usually sleeping when we come home now). This morning we got to try everything during our morning walk. We ran into 3 dogs, including the husky. The husky was out of control and the guy said that his dog really had it in for my dog. Meanwhile, Moonie walked along like a perfect gentleman, not even glancing an eye at the husky. I was very proud of him. Thanks for your help! Emily L.
Hi Christine, I am happy to report that thanks to you, Patches is doing really well. He is getting more and more useD to his casa and goes in on his own to LIE down. Today was a big day. Patches was home alone in his casa for about 3 1/2 hours. As usual, he was going ballistic when we left the house. He was very calm when we came home and even went back in a little while later on his own to LIE down. During dinner, we gave Patches his food with some chicken and when he was finished he lay down. Normally, he would stand next to us begging for more food. It is thanks to you that Patches is still part of our family. As you know, we didn't want to give him back to the shelter but we felt we had no other choice. You were truly our last resort. Even while we were working with you, we weren't hopeful. Now, I would be devastated without Patches. Again, we can't thank you enough. Patches is a wonderful dog that needed some help and guidance. You are worth every penny!! Fondly, Sharon B.
Thank you Christine! Duke listens much better and responds to us a lot easier than before. He seems to be understanding that we should be the first ones out the door. He's stopping and looking for approval first!! Duke also seems to be more relaxed out of the cage. I came home from work last night and was actually able to get out of the car without him almost knocking me over. I can't thank you enough for all your help. Dave and I are really happy that we understand the dogs and their needs more. Thanks again, Dave and Jenn
