For months we struggled with our one-and-a-half year old golden retriever's separation anxiety…read more(S.A.). We read books, blogs and forums, tried specialty products and pheromones, and had calls with other trainers. Unfortunately, nothing worked. Until we discovered Tiffany. Tiffany's program, guidance and encouraging attitude has changed our dog's life. He now rests comfortably at home alone. Anyone who has dealt with S.A., knows how challenging the issue can be, so it should go without saying that this is a process - and oftentimes a long one. But if you put in the time, and follow Tiffany's program carefully, it works. (Or at least it did for us. After working with Tiffany we understand well how "every dog is different.") For our golden, it took about a month and a half to see any changes, around 2.5 months for a solid breakthrough, and by 3.5 months we were practically dancing when we could be gone for 45-60 minutes with no signs of stress. Prior to working with Tiffany, we wondered if that would ever be possible. Tiffany is a dream to work with. Given that we live in Holland -- 6 hours ahead of Eastern Time -- we required a lot of flexibility and coordination from her and she's always found a way to work with our schedule (via Skype). When it comes to providing training assignments/"missions," she always delivers on her promises, provides clear and constructive feedback, and is just an all-around sweetheart. She's a wonderful, supportive coach through a challenging process. We could not recommend her more.

Finally my pup is comfortable and relaxed!…read more I'm a single, young professional who brought home a puppy while I was still in school. I read several books on dog training and caring for a puppy and I thought I would be 100% prepared. What came next I could never have imagined. I had a pup with severe separation anxiety. I could not leave my dog in my bedroom and walk downstairs even for a minute or two without him crying and scratching my door or bitting on the crate. It was a nightmare having to leave him, or finding people to always watch him. I felt as though I had no freedom anymore. And helpless, as I couldn't help my puppy in anyway to be more confident or to be more comfortable by himself. I knew that I couldn't keep this up. I read several things online and watched videos, however, no one seemed to have any advice on the type of severe anxiety I was experiencing. Then a miracle happened and I found Tiffany. I called her and begged her to help me! I even got emotional. Tiffany asked me several questions about my pup and my lifestyle, comforted me, analyzed my situation and said she could help. First I read the book "Treating Separation Anxiety in Dogs" by Malena DeMartini-Price. I worked with Tiffany for a couple of months, my puppy and I looked forward to every session. Tiffany guided us step by step through the entire process. Not only would she answer questions regarding training but she is also extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it came to choosing a doggy day care, choosing cameras, and advice in moving to a new apartment. She is caring, compassionate, understanding, and very wise. I can not thank her enough. I felt that I could trust her and confide in her. She truly cared about my dog, Woden, and how I was doing. (having a pup with separation anxiety is very hard on the owner as well) She was clear in her instructions, and setting up my expectations. The program was created for my pup, Woden specifically. Everyday was different, and tailored for Woden and I. Even though I do live in Florida, in the area, it was never necessary to meet in person. The program is designed so it trains YOU in how to train your dog. This program is the best because, unlike other programs, it teaches you how to read your dog, so you can continue training in the future after your time with Tiffany ends. It also teaches the dog to be comfortable with you and in your home. I highly recommend contacting Cold Nose College to anyone, regardless of where you are located. Woden is now a happy 9 month old pup and as of today I can leave him for 2 hours worry free! And we are only improving every day. If I could go back in time and change one thing, I would have called Tiffany sooner. This program has brought my puppy and I pure peace of mind, and it has taught me how to train and understand any dog I may have moving forward. It was worth every second and every penny. I urge you to give them a call. Tiffany is a life saver! I owe my puppy's happy and relaxed mindset to her!

We had spent 4000.00 on this rescue dog had been through three trainers with no results. Even sent her to a boarding school for a month of training which yielded no even knowing how to sit.My husband is afraid of large dogs and he had his heart set on her.he is in a wheelchair. She was severely underweight when we got her was dropped off in active labor which both pups died...then after 3 months she was attacked by a pitbull. She was a mess but Aaron's methods and special dogtra collar freed her from fear. He was patient kind and because my husband has Parkinsons and is in a wheelchair we started training Birdie to be a Service dog.. she isnt perfect but I can leave the house for a few hours knowing she will pick up a dropped cell phone or pens or silverware. She is a work in progress. You must continue your dogs training even 5 min sessions help.Birdie still isnt as sociable as we hoped but Aaron posed a profound question. Do you like everyone? She doesnt have to like everyone but she must tolerate them . Despite being in a S.D vest she has been kicked by adults and children... people try to distract her but she is easily redirrected. She is not the same dog that shook violently and would not leave her crate. Aaron is the only one I would trust and if you need a refresher he or his staff can help! The receptionist at our vet highly him. One of my neighbors adopted a border collie with fear aggression ..amazing transformation after they started working with Aaron.You want results call Aaron with K 9 unleashed. Aaron if you read this I wish I could show you how far our little castaway has come. She even picks up silverware for Papa Smurf but she tends to clean it first before she returns it. We are trying to fine tune this skill. She can hold a sit stay in publix 20 min.she can go under chairs at doctor offices and stay over 30 minutes without moving... she like any dog is a work in progress. I wish I could upload a training video here ...I dont know how

She is smart enough to make her own decisions, and that includes ignoring me! Mila and I had previously went to a positive only trainer. That trainer could not get Mila to walk nicely on a leash or perform commands outside my apartment. I was SUPER hesitant on starting "balanced" training. Even before I committed to doing training sessions with Susie, she spent the time explaining her methods and how she teaches dogs. From the get go, before we even started training, Susie took the time to explain to me in detail what she was doing, why she was doing it, and how to respond to Mila's behavior. After 3 sessions with Susie, the dog that used to ignore me on walks and pay zero mind to me is now listening to my commands on walks and checking in on me when I don't ask for it. The three sessions with Susie have been night and day with Mila's behavior. Susie has been so patient with mine and Mila's learning journey. I was able to learn more about dog training and strengthen my relationship with Mila through this experience. You can tell Susie is TREMENDOUSLY passionate about dog training and behavior, and I would 3000% recommend Susie to anyone.

Like, literally Disney World spotless. There were a lot of happy dogs running around and we all know what a lot of dogs can do to the aroma of a house, but I couldn't even smell a bit of dogginess in the air. This place is cleaner than my own house with one single dog living in it. My pupper immediately seemed relaxed and at home, so much so I almost started crying from relief. I can't even express how impressed I am. The staff were cheerful and lovely, there were beds everywhere for the dogs to lie around in, plenty of water bowls and food bowls. It is the eptiome of luxury for canines. I took my little guy to another place that was cheaper for years and, although it wasn't bad, it didn't have the amenities this place has. He was indoors with no food or water all day, which I understand is to keep comminicable diseases at bay, but I felt bad for him. Here, there are sun decks, couches, a wonderful yard, food and water at their disposal, lots of staff to check on them, all for the doggies. He must think he died and went to dog heaven here. :-D I will be bringing him here from now on. Update after one week: my old pupper has dementia. It had gotten progressively worse over the past 16 months. He used to urinate and defecate in his crate every night, wake up barking at 2 am, wander restlessly throughout the house when I got home, would chomp on my hand to get attention, run away from me when I called him, and was like a wild animal. After one week of daycare here, he is much calmer and doesn't do these things anymore. I don't say this lightly, this place has been a miracle for me and him. I have no idea what has happened but I think not being locked up everyday (he has terrible anxiety when he's in an enclosed area and his last daycare used crates and cages), having people that love up on him, and having freedom to roam has made all the difference in the world. I am so grateful for this place. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, everybody at Paradise.
