Working with Jackie has been life changing in so many ways, for our dog and for our family. Outside of separation anxiety training, I feel like she has fundamentally shifted the way I view my dog, her behaviour, and our relationship. I will never be able to thank Jackie enough for the comfort and peace of mind she has given our family.

Working with Jackie has literally been life-changing. Her expert guidance, empathy, and knowledge have gotten us from not even being able to approach the door without him becoming stressed to being able to leave for 4+ hours while he snoozes away on the couch without a care.

From our first meeting with Jackie, we felt a sense of calm and relief at having found her. Jackie’s process was science based, clearly explained, and easy to follow. Dahlia is now able to be left alone as needed for 4-6 hours without any issue at all. We cannot recommend Jackie highly enough.

Jackie encouraged slow and steady work that laid the foundation for our dogs to be able to just relax when they’re home alone. Since our intensive work with Jackie, our dogs have been repeatedly beating their latest records and are now up to a 4.5 hour absence without any fear!

Working with Jackie was an absolutely wonderful experience!! When we started working with Jackie, Leo lasted about 20 seconds alone before whining and howling. Upon “graduation,” Leo is able to go 6+ hours, and any duration between, with no problem.

I cannot say enough about Believe in Your Dog. Remi is doing so well! Our longest absence has been 5 hours. She is consistently going into my spare room and laying on the bed. I put a camera in there and saw that she actually fell asleep for a good 45 minutes!

Jackie was always extremely responsive, supportive, and worked with all the scheduling needs of our busy family, even on a 4 hour time difference. We can now leave our dog at the house by himself without any destruction. Highly recommend!

I don’t know if I can put into words accurately to describe how much of a savior Jackie is for us. She consistently gave us the proper guidance, instruction, and positivity that we needed to help our guy through it. He does great when we leave, goes to the couch and lays down.

As a BCBA, I have a background in Behavior Analysis but could not have done this without Jackie guiding me every step of the way. Lincoln went from being alone for 5 minutes at a time to almost 2 hours during our work together. Thank you for making all of our lives less stressful!!

Jackie’s encouragement and patience helped us right away. We can now actually go out for a few hours! We can go shopping, to lunch, haircuts, etc. We had our ups and downs, but Jackie always got us through, and we couldn’t be more grateful. There’s no way we could’ve done it without her.

Believe in Your Dog is Fantastic! Jackie is very knowledgeable on Separation Anxiety and great to work with. She knows the process of helping your dog gain confidence to be alone. I am now able to leave Tex for up to an hour with no distress!

With Jackie’s calm, nonjudgmental demeanor and terrific sense of humor, she's helped us realize that what seemed like an insurmountable problem can be solved. Orka is currently knocking out 3 hour absences consistently with no problems.

Luckily, we found Jackie and had amazing success in the few months we worked with her. We definitely met our goals to get him to a place where we could leave Buddy without stress. I would recommend Jackie's services for anyone facing similar issues.

We are so thankful for Jackie! Thanks to her guidance in crafting meticulous individualized trainings, along with our diligence in carrying them out, we slowly progressed to being able to be away for a few seconds, minutes, and then hours.

I can't say how important it is to have someone like Jackie in your corner supporting your dog's growth. Charlie can now be left alone for 4-5 hour stretches and has done as long as 7 - which felt impossible when we started! I'm so grateful for having gone through Believe in Your Dog.

Jackie gave me the confidence to believe that there was help for Bella and that we could do this. She was right and I am now able to leave Bella for several hours. Working with Jackie has given me hope and my life back I'm not stuck in the house anymore!

If a name could say it all, then Jackie picked the best name for her company. I am not a patient person and somehow Jackie was able to coach us on the process which ultimately not only made me believe in our dog, but in us and more importantly in her as true expert.

I was so nervous about how to address my dog’s separation anxiety but after just one consultation with Jackie I feel optimistic. She was so thorough and informative, and provided great resources to help me start separation anxiety training with my dog on my own.

Our dog Stryker had severe separation anxiety. Jackie made us feel so much more confident, and gave us a plan on how to overcome hurdles. Stryker can now do several hours alone! She also doesn’t panic when we get ready to leave, which makes it easier on us as well.

Jackie showed us the way, laid out all the expectations, all the steps, is a great friend, sets your dog up for success and really makes a difference. I would recommend Jackie to anyone who loves their dog and needs help with separation anxiety training.

Prior to working with Jackie, my pandemic puppy was unable to stay at home alone without engaging in panicked, anxiety ridden behavior. He would pace, howl, cry, bark, and jump for hours on end. Through our work together, Oliver is now able to remain alone for several hours at a time.

Jackie is kind, patient, thorough, and empathetic with every single one of her clients. Calvin, who couldn’t do even a couple of minutes alone without going into a state of panic, is now able to be left alone for 4.5 hours with no problem!!

Jackie transformed our lives with our dog and helped us all be more calm, happy, and fulfilled. Our dog has achieved a level of calm with being home alone for both short and hours-long durations that I truly didn't think could ever be possible—and I know we would never have been able to achieve this without Jackie.

We cannot recommend Jackie highly enough! Working with her has been *truly* life-changing, both for our dog Peanut and for us. We got in touch with Jackie fairly soon after we adopted Peanut and noticed that she could not tolerate our absence, even for a few minutes. Now she is able to comfortably handle absences of up to 4 hours!

Jackie got to know Taro and she made recommendations that were not only based in her extensive experience working with separation anxiety cases but also tailored to Taro as an individual. Now, Taro can be left home alone comfortably for 4 hours (and maybe more but we haven't tried!)

Training with Jackie is the best investment in Doug's alone time success I could have made and has drastically improved both of our lives! With her coaching and guidance, Doug is now able to be left home alone as needed, often sleeping through his alone time. I'm so glad I chose an evidence-based trainer with a deep understanding of the science of behavior change.

In the year that we worked with Jackie, she consistently went above and beyond to help us meet our goals. Her knowledge and experience are such assets to her clients, and her assistance extends well beyond separation anxiety to help you nurture a closer relationship with your dog. And she gets results!

Jackie has changed Oakley’s life because he’s no longer chronically stressed, and I have been able to resume life as almost normal. I believe in all of the progress we made and I am able to leave him for 3.5 hours without worry now. I can’t believe I almost gave up, but thanks to our foundational training and Jackie we did it!

Because of Jackie, we have our freedom back (freedom to leave the house), but we also have a happier dog, which means happier dog parents, a better marriage, lower overall stress in the house, etc. Jackie is a cheerleader, a motivational coach, a couples therapist, a teacher — everything all in one. We got to know Jackie well and consider her a dear friend.
