Testimonial
"We
rescued Bruce (a Pembroke Welsh Corgi), in May of 2009 and
originally planned to foster him until we could find him the
perfect family. Unfortunately, because of the previous
abuse he endured and his lack of socialization, there were some
aggression issues with our other male Corgi. Because of
these issues and also a strong drive to chase any and all cats
(of which we have three), we were afraid we wouldn’t be able to
continue as Bruce’s foster family, not to mention ever finding
his ‘forever home’.
So, after
doing research online and talking to different training
organizations, we thankfully found Northern Tails and Lisa.
Lisa responded immediately to our call for help with Bruce and
she even scheduled an evening appointment for us that very week
(we weren’t able to take any time off from our jobs during the
day to meet with her). Lisa wasn’t at the house more than a few
minutes before she had connected with Bruce and had him
responding to her like a new friend. She was extremely patient
with all of our questions and gave us great suggestions to help
us to help Bruce. Before she left that evening, not only had she
taught Bruce several commands, but she gave us instructions (and
some homework) on a plan for positive, corrective action for
Bruce’s behavior towards the other furry members of our
household. She also gave us suggestions on the way we all were
to interact with Bruce (we did our best to follow these to the
letter). Lisa was very positive with us that evening, but also
very frank when she told us this whole process could possibly
take months (not just weeks), and to this day we are so very
thankful that she was! The whole process ended up taking
approximately about 3 ½ months-
but we all made it and
Bruce has his ‘forever home’. We can’t thank Lisa enough for
all her help and we really feel that without her, Bruce may have
never learned to open up and trust us, and we would have been
denied the joy this sweet little guy has brought to our family.
Lisa and Northern Tails have truly helped to make our little
family complete."
