About a year ago, we welcomed Candy, a delightful PitBull Lab mix, into our family through Rocket Dog Rescue. Candy, a beautiful 3-year-old, had previously been at the pound before finding her way to the rescue. While we don't know much about her past, we adore her as our own.

In the initial weeks after adoption, Candy exhibited some challenging behaviors. Being a high-energy pup, she often displayed excessive excitement and anxiety, particularly during greetings. Jumping up and around, as well as being overly vocal, especially around strangers, were aspects of her behavior that we found less than ideal.

Notably, Candy was very hard to handle during walks, to the point where I found it difficult to take her out. This changed dramatically with the help of our dog trainer, Sade. She not only transformed Candy into the perfect walking buddy but also played a crucial role in helping Candy overcome her fears and anxieties, ensuring positive recall in various situations.

What sets Sade apart is her deep love for animals. It's evident that she genuinely falls in love with the fur babies she works with. Sade takes a holistic approach, guiding us as owners on our behaviors with our pets that may not be conducive to the desired outcome. She teaches not only the fur babies but also the parents, setting us up for success and long-term results with her methodology.

Sade's impact extends beyond Candy; she has also been instrumental in helping our one-year-old Frenchie, Little Guy. Despite his stubborn tendencies, Sade has guided him to become a more responsive little guy. She has not only reduced instances of Little Guy getting over-excited and triggering Candy on walks but has also successfully trained them to walk together nicely on a leash. Additionally, Sade has taken them through off-leash training, although I, as an owner, am not quite ready for that step without her present.

Sade is way more than just a trainer; she's a coach, a guide, a teacher, and overall a light and an angel in our lives. Her presence has become an invaluable part of our journey with our fur babies.

My best advice to anyone who may be reading this is to book her now while you can; you won't regret it. Sade's expertise and love for what she does make her an exceptional partner in nurturing the best in your pets.

We are grateful for Sade's dedication and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate dog trainer. Thanks to her, both Candy and Little Guy have become even more cherished members of our family.
