Words cannot express how much Deborah’s help has changed our household. We adopted a large Cathoula Leopard Hound, Spirit, with high energy and attention demands, extreme anxiety and very poor interaction behaviors with dogs and people. After a month we thought we had an impossible task ahead of us. We stopped having guests, could not eat through a meal without constant barking, complaints from neighbors and were constantly nervous on walks with her. Then we were introduced to Deborah. Deborah didn’t solve all the problems for us, instead she gave us confidence that the problems could be solved with time and patience. She gave us plenty of information and ideas on how to work with our pet. Taught us to be observant and adaptable, to work with Spirits temperament and specific traits, and to be firm but gentle with her so that she would eventually mimic our behaviors. 
Eight months on and we are in a very different place. Spirit has learned to be gentle in play and her interactions with others, (dogs and people), are adorable, she is playful, constantly willing to learn new things and finding her place in our home. She will always be spirited and demands her spot on the couch, but she loves other dogs, (all types), meals are a pleasure and we finally have guests over again. There is still much to be done, (the mailman, squirrels and that fiendish neighbor cat), but we know with Deborahs help we can probably solve most of those challenges as well.
