She jumped at cars, she jumped at trucks, she would never engage assertively with any dog bigger than her, and cars weren't her jam. Well! No longer. Every time we go outside she jumps into the copilot seat ready to take on an adventure. Yesterday she approached a large German Shepherd at the dog park without any trepidation and appropriately picked up on social cues with the Shepherd's twin titan came over to check the scene out as well. She walks much better (definitely not perfect!) on leash than before which helps my anxiety and her safety.

My dog ate ravenously when I got him home, even though I had provided food for them to feed him as he is on a special diet.

Signing my babe Phobos up for pack walks with Hadley has been *HANDS DOWN* the best decision I…read morecould have ever made for my nervous guy. Phobos is extremely people shy, and scares easily in loud/noisy environments so as you can imagine, it's been a huge challenge taking him anywhere. Walks were extremely stressful, always cut short and we were beginning to feel pretty hopeless since we had tried EVERYTHING we could conjure up to improve his confidence-to no avail. It's only been several months since Phobos has been joining Hadley & the pack on walks, but I'm honestly in disbelief with how much progress he's made already. Just yesterday, we brought him along with us to Moseley's Cafe to grab a quick bite (being cautiously optimistic), and he did SO well even though it was a tight, crowded area. He remained calm, collected and even laid down to enjoy a patch of sun. I was absolutely shocked. Only a couple months ago, he'd be barking at people, pulling every-which-way to get away, and we would have most likely caused a scene. I can't even begin to tell y'all how much my fiancé and I appreciate Hadley's patience and expertise in navigating these tricky waters. We will forever be grateful for Hadley's help and bringing much needed relief to our little fam. I genuinely feel so lucky that I even have the privilege to write this review. Thank you so, so, SO much for all you do. You changed our lives, for real. - Amanda, Alex & Phobos
