With full knowledge, we adopted a 2 1/2 year old shelter female German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois who had resided at the Camarillo shelter for over 120 days. She (Mochi) came with a history of poor socialization and "nipping" at people. Although my wife and I had previously owned two other shelter German Shepherds and other shelter dogs along with cats, birds, rats, hamsters, and a pet goat, Mochi came with challenges we had never faced. For six months Veronique has been working with us privately to alter Mochi's behavior. Because of Veronique, Mochi has made great strides in her behavior. We don't know if Mochi will ever be completely "normal"--if there is such a thing--but she is a changed dog. Everyone who knew Mochi from before has commented on that. Veronique is truly the "dog whisperer". She understands a dog's mind better than anyone we have ever met. She always treats dogs with compassion and works her magic with positive reinforcement. We have continued Mochi's training with Veronique on a bimonthly basis because of the continuing value we see in having Veronique as an advisor.

Veronique is amazing! We got a seven week old puppy and had no idea how potty train or teach good behaviors. Having Veronique come to our home was invaluable. She was also constantly available to answer all of our questions by text. As our puppy has gotten older, she offered practical and age appropriate training for our puppy and senior dog. Highly recommend!

AMAZED by the difference I saw in my dogs after we worked with Veronique! I have 2 four year old huskies and was skeptical about training them past the puppy stage. I wasn't sure how receptive they would be, especially because one wasn't very food focused. After a couple sessions with Veronique, I couldn't believe the difference! Now on walks they're attuned to me and listening for direction instead of trying to lead the walk on their own! They sit and wait before crossing the road, which is a major improvement because before they would pull me into the street. They even understand let's go LEFT vs RIGHT, which was shocking! Veronique paid special attention to their very different personalities and figured out what was best for them. If you're looking into dog training I 100% recommend Veronique. She's patient and kind and my dogs love her! Well worth the investment (which is a good price in comparison to other options!!)

A+++ For Veronique!! We had tried a previous trainer who approached the situation as if all dogs are the same and all dogs are trained in the same way. The previous trainer felt militaristic and got us nowhere. Veronique is very special and here is why. Veronique spent time to learn the personality of our little dog. Our dog is a rescue dog with a lot of fears. With Veronique's help we were able to learn when to be patient with our dog and give her some slack, to realize trying to force certain behaviors on our dog was getting us nowhere, maybe making things worse. We have more work to do with our dog and with Veronique's help. But for now, I wanted to let you dog owners know how patient and insightful Veronique is. Plus she is a very warm person and a pleasure to be around. Try her, I think you will be pleased. Gene

We love working with Veronique! She has a patient and gentle approach both with our dog and with us. She taught us a series of commands and techniques of course, but it was really much more than that. By sharing insight into why dogs might do certain things, she helped us learn how to pay better attention to our pup and apply those commands and techniques in useful scenarios outside of a practice session. It's not an exaggeration to say that we live a more harmonious life thanks to Veronique.

We enjoyed two levels of basic manners group classes. We learned a lot! Sit, stay, come, leave it, drop it, loose leash walking. :)

My yappy little dog has calmed down remarkably after only one private lesson. My neighbors and I appreciate Veronique's expertise.

Ask the Community - SixPaws Dog School

Does the trainer use treats or love the reward?

Veronique believes that a treat can be in the form of a walk or other activity that your dog likes, and not necessarily the edible kind. Although, she will use edible treats as an added reward

She did not do well in the group setting with other dogs and the one on one classes with Amy were the perfect choice. She was so patient with Quinn and I, and answered my endless list of questions! Quinn is a calmer, happier dog now which makes for a calmer, happier dog momma. I highly recommend Amy and Dogmotion whether you have a new puppy you want to start off right or have a "special" rescue like me!

The classes are broken down into logical steps with clear documentation provided to the participants at the end of each session. Often, you will also receive additional information and comments related to each session via e-mail. They are available for questions and issues between training sessions to help resolve problems or clarify steps. Highly experienced trainer that understands dog behaviors. The sessions focus on training the owners how to understand and manage the dog behaviors. I attended 5 sessions and had made significant progress during this time, even though I had a challenging dog. Also, they are flexible with schedules to meet your needs. I had tried a few other trainers that came to my house and explained a ton of information in the hour but then I was lost after they left. The additional documented support for each sessions makes a "huge" difference, especially if working on a new item several days later. I also like that they use clicker training, which makes it so much easier to pinpoint the dogs behaviors. Highly recommend.
