My wife and I have always owned Irish Wolfhounds. When we got our most recent one, Quincy, we had no idea nor were we ready for how anxious he'd become. He started with minimal things like whining in the crate and everything slowly progressed into defecating and urinating in the kennel. Then he was terrified of loud noises, then he would pace around the house as soon as someone would touch or grab their keys.
We decided that we needed help since it was obvious he wasn't happy and we were completely overwhelmed and frustrated with his behaviors. Our veterinarian recommended Megan to us. He had quite a few patients (dogs) that had gone through training with her for various behavioral problems: human aggression, dog aggression, anxiety, wild dog's, etc. So we figured we would give it a shot.
We enrolled Quincy in her 2 week board and train program. It was hard not to have him here for that length of time, but she did make it easier by sending us updates on him including videos and pictures of him and his progress. At the end of the 2 weeks, she called and asked if it was ok if she kept him for a few days longer for no additional cost to us. She wanted that little bit of extra time to work with him longer.
When we picked him up, she instructed us how to respond and react to him. She rehabilitated him and TRAINED us. We were the ones encouraging his anxiety! Over a year later, we still cannot believe the transformation that Quincy has done! He was once a nervous, fearful, anxious dog. Now he is this confident, relaxed, happy dog!
Thanks again Megan! You really have blessed us with a completely happy family now!
Sincerely,
Jim and Gina Y.
