Cat Sitting in Highland Mills

Robin is the best dog trainer in Orange county, New York. She specializes in training reactive dogs. She doesn't just train the dog. She trains the owner on how to handle the dog in certain situations. She has trained all three of my Springer spaniels. I highly recommend her. She is patient, understanding and kind. Robbin had a reactive dog herself and understands a dog's body language and can steer you in the right direction with your pet. Robin has shown me that training a dog isn't a one-time thing. It's everyday and you have to keep up with it. If you're looking for a dog trainer, don't hesitate to call her she truly is amazing at what she does, and you will see a difference in your dog with the first lesson you take with Robin.

Robin is very knowledgeable when it comes to dog training. With just a few lessons, I am already seeing a difference in my dog. Robin is easy to work with, and I have been able to use what she has taught me, to better myself and my dog. Thank You Robin for providing a safe and affordable environment for us.

I highly recommend Robin for your dog training needs. She is highly knowledgeable and dedicated in obedience training, and genuinely cares about helping to improve your life with your dog. I’ve had the best experience so far and have only just begun. I’ve done about 10 private lessons, and have attended about 7 of the group classes she offers for existing clients. I will continue to do so as each lesson and exposure only strengthens my own knowledge and ensures I will be able to communicate needs/wants/boundaries/and rules to my dog in a way she understands and appreciates. Robin is consistent, motivating, fun, and flexible. I truly am having the best experience with my new dog. Just about everywhere we go, someone comments about how well behaved my pup is! The credit definitely goes to my lessons with Robin.

It has been such a pleasure working with Robin! It has made such a difference in how much I am enjoying my dog. I haven’t had a puppy in 20 years and never actually knew any of the basic skills to teach and how important they are. She is always in contact and easy to reach. She is also helpful when I let her know of issues and concerns I am having and is never judgmental. I continue to work with her and would highly recommend her to anyone willing to put in the time to train their dog with a professional to guide them.

I got my two dogs in my divorce and sought out Robin to help me as the younger of the two was getting pushy with me and my older guy. I wasn't sure what could be done since he was already 4, but I was open to learning because what I'd done all my life wasn't working. Robin has a well-balanced empathetic, yet no nonsense approach and was able observe us and make recommendations for ways I could work with my dog; not just get him to behave. Similar to cognitive behavioral therapy, she was there to help me recognize patterns and cycles in my own behavior as well as his. 6 months later, Max is a completely different dog; he has confidence, understands rules and boundaries, and I can take him out in public. I cannot recommend Robin enough.

Robin is a very experienced and a knowledgeable dog trainer. Robin understands a dog’s nature and how they think. Equally important, she knows the human errors that lead to negative dog behaviors and teaches you corrections. Robin has helped to train my feisty dachshund to become more obedient and more willing to look to me for direction. Training sessions are fun and informative. They are well structured with each a specific goal in mind. Robin is tops in dog training and dog care.

I’m a new puppy owner and let me tell you, with only 1 phone call and 1 training session, my husband and I can ALREADY see an improvement—whether it be from our puppy, our direction, and even in our confidence as owners! Look, Robin’s insight and advice WORKS. You just have to be willing to implement changes—all in which are truthfully best for you and your pup. Prior to Robin, we struggled and felt lost. Now, we are hooked and can’t wait to experience more successes with Robin as we raise our boy!

"We have been working with Robin for about a year now, so this review is long overdue. The short version is... it's like we have a new dog! Before working with Robin, our dog Autumn was very reactive around other dogs, barking, growling, and lunging. Since starting with Robin, the transformation has been incredible. Autumn has become much more neutral and no longer pulls when walking. It's been a real game changer. Previously, we had to be very selective about where and when we could take her, but now we can take her everywhere. Robin is extremely knowledgeable and truly understands dog behavior. We could not be happier with the progress Autumn has made and highly recommend Robin's services! Additionally, we use Robin's dog walking services, and she has been extremely reliable, never missing a day in almost a year. Autumn had a chance to meet her new cousin which would have been completely impossible a short while ago. I recommend Robin without hesitation!!!”

When we got our dog, Tuco, last year he was an 8-week old Whoodle puppy coming into our family as we grieved the sudden loss of our beloved, 6-year old Wheaten. We did not start training with Robin until Tuco was between 10-11 months old but she came into our family just in time. The transformation in our (we are a family of 4) relationship with Tuco was immediate…as soon as Robin came to the door and began instructing US not necessarily training Tuco. We knew in that moment we had to adjust our own behavior for his sake…especially unfairly comparing him to our other dog. Tuco was well on his way to being an anxious, out of control (or maybe in full control of us!), highly reactive dog making for an unenjoyable, tense home environment but that ALL changed with Robin’s expert knowledge and patient guidance. We worked one-on-one with Robin as a family in the home, in the yard, and in the community. Robin always makes time to answer a “quick” question or problem-solve on the phone, providing much-needed suggestions and solutions when feeling unsure. We are now in our second round of group classes and having so much fun! We cannot thank Robin enough…because of her we all got on the same page in our house, which is what Tuco needed most from us…and now we are all enjoying the awesome dog that he was meant to be. Do I wish we called Robin sooner? Yes. But it is never too late!

We have known Robin for several years. We know our dogs are in caring and knowledgeable hands. Robin takes a lot of pride in what she does, and is a great advocate for her furry friends!
