We’re honestly so grateful we found Dom.When Barney was a young puppy, we were really struggling with separation issues. Even simple things like having a shower felt impossible because he couldn’t settle on his own. At the time it felt overwhelming, and we weren’t sure what was normal puppy behaviour versus something bigger.Dom helped us work through it patiently and step by step.One of the biggest things was having her support throughout Barney’s growing phase. There were so many moments where we just didn’t know what to do, we could reach out to Dom for guidance. That reassurance made such a difference, especially during the more emotional stages of puppyhood. It’s an adjustment period for everyone! And Dom helped us to remember that.More than obedience training, Dom taught us how to actually raise a happy, independent dog. She helped us understand that every dog is different, and that behaviour isn’t about applying one rigid rule — it’s about understanding the individual dog in front of you. That mindset shift has stayed with us.Barney is now such a smart, confident, independent little guy, and we’ve learned so much along the way. Barney couldn’t recommend Dom more highly!
