When Erin took on my year and a half year old morkie Josie, she had been traumatized, being bit and attached by a Doberman Pincher. She would go after small dogs and run away screaming from bigger dogs. Among other things. I couldn't take her for walks and she wouldn't go out in our fenced in yard by herself. I'm so happy with how she's doing. Erin taught my how to distract her attention away from other dogs and she took right to it. Her recall is much better and she will go to her crate on demand with a treat.
With living on a corner. We get alot of people walking their dogs by our house. Since working with Erin, she basically ignores them. If she does bark it's a regular calm bark. Not a mean loud aggressive bark.
I continue to work with her and we even have gone for walks. She's enjoying the walks and if we come upon another dog I cross to the other side of the street and keep her distracted from barking.Thanks again Erin

Erin is an outstanding trainer. She has worked with my older dog and I on confidence, communication, and wellbeing. My dog has become more anxious and reactive the older she has gotten, and in 10 months her behavior has changed for the better (and my anxiety is much lower because of this)! We go on walks and she does not react to other people or lunge at other dogs like she used to. It's very rare she reacts anymore. She focuses on me and takes treats instead! This, in turn, has helped me be calmer and more confident which feeds into my dog's energy. We have gotten her on a better food regimen, medications, and health plan for her arthritis. Of course, consistency is key and you have to stick with the plan. I highly recommend Raising Pawtential to anyone who is looking for help with their dog!
Erin is a beautiful human. She is so kind and generous and treats my pups like her own babies when working with them. I have a puppy who started out completely non-potty trained (after much attempts on our part), who also had issues with body handling and resource guarding. She has worked one-on-one with us–in our own home, where my pup is comfy–and I've seen drastic changes in just a handful of sessions. Not only that, but her prices are beyond reasonable and she is flexible with her scheduling, with hours that are convenient for folks who work. She'll even come to your house and work with your pup while you're at work, if needed! She's just fantastic. I've already recommended her to friends and will keep her information handy for anyone in the future who needs tender loving care for their fur babies. Thank you, Erin, for all your passion and hard work!
Almost 2-year post-training edit: I'm here to update on Otter's long-term success. With the tools we learned from Erin, we have managed to turn our ferocious and often literally terrifying little balls of fur into one of the sweetest and most polite companions one could ask for. Gone are his fears of being petted and handled – just look at the picture I've added for proof! He's well trained and a pure delight. We couldn't have done it without you, Erin! Thank you again!!
We've been working with Eric for a year now and getting SO much great feedback from friends and neighbors on the improvement in our dog's behavior—she has come so far and she absolutely ADORES Erin!
Our dog came to us with some real behavior challenges, high anxiety, and fears. We are all learning as we go and Erin is never judgmental or overbearing on us or our dog. She has guided us not only in behavior training but in medical care as well. We are delighted and appreciative of her personal care and commitment to our family's well-being.
Erin was so kind, compassionate, and patient with our puppies! She helped our dog socialize with our new puppy, and she was an obedience miracle worker. Super knowledgeable!
