Our Success Stories
-
“I fostered a dog named Lacy who was found as a feral street dog. She hated me so much but was glued to my other dog. She was such a sensitive and scared dog I knew I had to be mindful in how I approached her trained. I booked behavioral sessions and training walks with Grounded Roots and the difference in Lacy was night and day. Izzy’s understanding of dog behavior and body language helped me navigate Lacy’s training in a safe and positive way. She was adopted and is doing amazing in her new home, but I still use Izzy for dog sitting and walking my other dogs, I just love her so much! I’ll likely never go anywhere else for my dog care/training services.”

“I have a 5lb, 12 year old chihuahua that I rescued at 7 years old. She is nervous and reactive, on leash and when meeting new people. I was always nervous to reach out to a trainer because I know a lot of people have very little patience for small barking dogs. I heard about Izzy through friends and decided to book a few sessions. Izzy was so extremely patient and mindful of my dog’s size and age. Izzy was respectful of my dog’s boundaries and made training such a positive experience for both me and my dog that the training actually became fun. I have such a better handle on my dog’s reactivity, the training is on going, of course, but our walks have never been this peaceful!”

"Izzy is a great dog trainer! She is so kind and compassionate and cares so much about our dogs. Izzy has given us great tools to help with training at home and lots of tips to keep our pups engaged and stimulated. I also love that she offers field trips for our pups so she can work on training with them when we aren’t available for in person sessions."

"Izzy is an incredibly knowledgeable, kind, caring and diligent dog trainer. We love her and she trains our Annie (husky/shepherd puppy mix) 2-3 times a week. We’ve seen noticeable differences and growth after each session. Recommend 10/10. Further, she’s responsive, punctual and responsible. We typically leave the house open for her to come grab the pooch and lock up on her own, which makes transfers much easier."

"I can’t say enough great things about Izzy and what Grounded Roots has done for me & my pup. My dog(Mooney) is a no dogs-dog and I was at a loss at what to do at the start of his behavioral struggles. Izzy has given me the tools and confidence to help my boy get to a really solid place with his reactivity and foundational skills. As well as build our relationship and bond from a dog to handler stand point. Go grateful to have found Izzy as my trainer!"
