Charlie, Tyson and Ruby

“Another huge difference was her training philosophy. Nearly every other trainer told me that if I wanted to achieve peaceful coexistence within a few months, I'd almost certainly need to use an e-collar or other punishment-based methods. Britta believed it could be done with positive reinforcement, a structured plan, consistency, and patience—and she was absolutely right.

She didn't just train Charlie; she gave us a comprehensive roadmap for success. She helped us set up the house to maximize everyone's comfort and safety, explained exactly what behaviors to work on each week, and adjusted the plan as Charlie made progress. Every step had a purpose, and having that level of guidance made what initially felt overwhelming become completely manageable.

Fast forward three months, and Charlie and the cats are now peacefully hanging out together in the same room. They aren't best friends yet—and I wouldn't expect them to be this early—but they've gone from a situation that honestly felt impossible to one where they're calmly coexisting and showing an increasingly playful curiosity about each other. Trust is still growing, but I'm genuinely confident we're on our way to a wonderful lifelong relationship between them.

This outcome simply wouldn't have happened without Britta's expertise, patience, and thoughtful approach. If you're facing the challenge of introducing a dog and cats—especially if your dog has a strong prey drive—I can't recommend her highly enough. Follow the process, stay consistent, trust her guidance, and be patient. It works.

Thank you, Britta!”
