We rescued Josie nearly 6 months ago. She is anxious around new people and reactive around new dogs, and an active puller on the leash! Emma and Ivy have helped us navigate the challenges of the first few months of rescuing an adult dog. They've been patient with us and Josie, and is helping us make real headway in our daily interactions with Josie. From minimizing Josie's reactions to other dogs, introducing helpful ways to communicate with Josie and communicate for her with others has been instrumental. During our last session we noticed some big improvements for Josie, and it was so exciting to see both Ivy and Emma jump for joy for Josie. They're beyond knowledgeable about training and support dogs and dog owners. We are beyond grateful for them, and we wouldn't be where we are today without them!

I have noticed such a big difference in Phoebe over the last seven weeks (and Victor has too - which I think says a lot since he only came to a couple classes). Even though this was a group class, I really appreciated how we were able to explore tools/approaches that best fit our dogs. For example, Phoebe was a week late to the prong collar party, but looking back I'm glad we trial and error-ed with the slip lead. This was definitely not a cookie cutter obedience class! I'm so excited to have the tools to better communicate with Phoebe and constructively work through challenging situations that I previously would have avoided. The other day we actually shared a field while another dog was playing fetch without any big emotions coming out. That NEVER would have been possible 2 months ago. Emma and Ivy, thank you SO much for holding such a great class, answering all of our questions/concerns and creating a community of awesome dog people. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with IA!

"I have been training for 8 years and involved in other avenues in the dog industry. I yet to find a group that supports its members like Emma and Ivy. The amount of time behind the scenes to make these sessions successful for each individual owner means so much. Clearly they are a team with cohesion!"

"Mo and I, and Lambeau had a wonderful experience with the Intentional Animalship Foundation Building class. It was subtle but after awhile we understood the building blocks of each class and how it all was a foundation for recall/e-collar training. Lambeau's walks are much less pull and tug and more relaxed and walking with us rather than "leading us" around. Distractions are less and more reserved rather than bolting at something. The key to all this we also realize is consistency and working at it daily. The e-collar training was also not as "invasive" or shocking (no pun intended) as we thought. Lambeau's reaction with the e-collar is hardly noticeable from a negative standpoint. He takes it as almost a natural correction."

"I cannot say enough about how fantastic Ivy and Emma are.
In just 7 weeks, my dog and I have built a better relationship and I have seen such a change in his ability to listen, his confidence, and his relationship with people/other dogs.
The class was just such a supportive environment, and I love how Ivy and Emma make sure that what they are suggesting/teaching work for the individual person/dog while still maintaining an overall group feel and ensuring that the basics are taught.
I recommend them/this class very highly."

"Where to begin! The lack of judgment and the constant encouragement and support is so appreciated! I appreciate that we can call Emma or Ivy over at anytime to ask a specific question about our personal issues with our dog. I love the group in general and how everybody is on the same page with dog manners, non judgment, etc. Trying different games every week is super helpful to put our dogs in different situations."
