To Katrina Boyd
My 12 year old Border collie Ellie and I would like to share our experience with you at Katrina’s.
My Ellie was badly treated in her younger years so she became very fearful, aggressive and defensive and did not trust anyone. I could never touch her hind legs or brush her. Visiting a vet was a joke; they were all scared of her.
Taking her for a walk was testing – she wanted to attack every dog getting close to us.
Katrina has dogs of her own and I was apprehensive about Ellie’s behaviour. She introduced the dogs, played with them, took them for a walk and rewarded them. Her calm and confident behaviour, firm but friendly approach and handling, relaxed Ellie and she accepted to be one of the group. When she stepped out of line, one of Katrina’s dogs pulled her back. What a great training Katrina’s dogs had.
Later, Katrina decided to cut Ellie’s matted coat, the fur between her paws and her nails.
Good luck Katrina, you will need it… But she did not need any luck. She knew exactly how to treat the wriggling, snarling and biting Ellie. Katrina was firm, but without force, professional and determined, but passionate. She was in charge – Ellie gave in.
Ellie no longer scratches, takes anti-itch medication and uses anti-allergy shampoos. She is a happy girl, her skin is healthy and her coat shiny. She does not want to attack every dog anymore and even the vet is surprised.
My confidence in Katrina? – 100%. She is professional, firm, consistent and totally dedicated.
I have no hesitation recommending Katrina and her services to any owner who cares and loves their pooch.
Thank you Katrina.
