Rosanne & Leo (Seattle, WA)

Working with Jackie was an absolutely wonderful experience!! We adopted a rescue dog (Leo) with some known “separation anxiety,” and we were determined to help him out. While we read up and knew the “theory” behind how to go about addressing it, we decided to try out a professional — and I’m so glad we did!

Jackie is incredibly detail-oriented, data-driven and absolutely has the dog’s best interest in mind at all times. Having a completely personalized plan (updated daily, based on the previous days’ results!) put our minds at ease, knowing that someone else was doing the work to make sure we were doing the right thing, and all we had to do was follow the plan!

Through our weekly check-ins (and notes and messages throughout the week), we also had the chance to pick Jackie’s brain about every corner case type scenario, and any concerns we might have with Leo. She was always very responsive, professional and exceedingly helpful!

When we started working with Jackie, Leo lasted about 20 seconds alone before whining and howling. Upon “graduation,” Leo is able to go 6+ hours, and any duration between, with no problem. Aside from having no more separation anxiety issues, we can see that he has blossomed immensely and in his own confidence!

While we hope to never need Jackie’s services again, she is the first (and only!) person we will go to if the need arises, and we whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to ease their dog’s separation anxiety.
