Trusting Hands for Animals Dog Behavior Training - In your home & Customized to meet your pet's needs

We adopted a rescue, a beautiful female mix that is very stressed from extended pound life. She is completely docile with my 18 yr old grand daughter and somewhat less docile with my wife. She (Poppy), however, was probably mis-treated at some point by a male, as she is very guarded with me. During Tianna's absence for work or college, she warms up to me almost calm. As soon as Tianna returns and goes to her room upstairs, she (Poppy) became very protective and immediately barks and growls at me as soon as I engaged the stairs. Since working with Patty, we have learned how best to deal with this behavior by better understanding the causes. Poppy has improved noticeably and we are hopeful that she will continue to improve until we can all enjoy her as she is personable, responsively communi

Patti has absolutely changed our lives after her training for our Cavapoo Ollie - aka training my husband and me. She is amazing and Ollie understands he no longer is the boss nor does he need to protect us. Ollie used to bark at everything that moved outside but now with training, we can get him to immediately stop barking. He also walks on a leash beautifully now and does not try to go after dogs that walk by. She truly is a dog whisperer and understands them and their behavior so well, enabling her to teach us how to be better dog owners. She takes her time with us and explains everything so well. Highly recommend is an understatement. Thank you so much Patty!

Patty Gilmore has proven to be an honest-to-goodness "dog whisperer" for our pack. Now we have added our third--a puppy--and things are progressing well with all of Patty's insight. She has calmed our anxieties, and the dogs are following suit with our leadership.

Patricia is a miracle worker. She is kind and compassionate not only with my pups but with humans also. She encouraged me through the whole process as a true therapist for me and my pets. Pin pointing areas of growth and areas for development with a soft and gentle way. The experience has been remarkable along with the constant and continuous sessions. Patricia goes well beyond the call of duty. Her expertise is profound and I would recommend her service in a heartbeat. She is a true empath and I will be forever thankful for her help. - Sabrina E.

We have a Shitzu/Yorkie mix who is terrified of grooming, especially when getting his nails trimmed or hair trimmed around his face. Patty has made an amazing difference in just 3 sessions. She is so patient and kind in her handling of animals. You can tell Patty loves what she does. So happy I found Patty to help us with our sweet little Griffin.
