I recently left a low review for Dog Just Visited. I am now changing my review due to how Sandra handled the challenges we faced with scheduling and inconsistency.
When we started in January, consistency looked doable, though still challenging. One of my dogs is a male reactive dog who we adopted when he was one and had been kept in a backyard until then without socialization with other people or animals. He wasn't even leash trained. We got the second one as a puppy to be his companion and help socialize him.
I had never had a dog in my entire life until these two, and I thought I would have more help than I actually did for the first few years I had them (before my current marriage).
When I was financially able, I contacted Sandra, who was clearly passionate about animals. I ended up paying for 12 visits because we felt like Tucker needed a lot of work. Sandra had the best treats and helped us manage Tucker's behavior with better collars, leashes, and supplements. We had to cancel and reschedule due to my own circumstances, Sandra's, and, of course, the weather. That put us into the busiest time of the school semester, both as a teacher and with our five kids' dance, sports, and band schedules, including practices, lessons, dress rehearsals, concerts, competitions, school trips, and other events. With two adults, both working two jobs, consistency was nearly impossible. In hindsight, six lessons would have been more manageable for my family, but Sandra has worked with me in other ways to support our progress. I know that I can reach out to her anytime with questions. She truly cares about and wants the best for the dogs she works with. read more
