Testimonial
Stephanie Cooper - Reina
“We have felt so supported and encouraged by Rebecca whilst she has been helping us get to the bottom of some of the behaviours our 1-year-old rescue dog, Reina, is exhibiting. With Rebecca’s help, we have identified some underlying pain issues and got her on the right medication which has majorly improved her wellbeing. We like Rebecca’s methods of working because she puts the dog first and foremost, and the approach is holistic, kind and empathetic towards the dog at all times. The space Rebecca has provided us has been one of no judgment, total understanding and a deep sense of care for our situation. Communication has been prompt and clear, enabling us to feel that we have an emergency dial for someone who can listen thoroughly to any situation and offer some insight as to the how and why, and what to do next, which has helped us feel capable of managing any situation that arises.”
