Winston: Our boy Winston is a 'rescue dog'. As with many 'rescues' he came with some behavioral and emotional issues. Karol provided us a lot of great insite into dog behavior and was able to help us help Winston overcome much of his isolation distress. She recommended a number of courses of action ranging from unique training methods to helpful products. Winston in now well on his way to being a happy and stable member of our household! Thank you Karol! |
