Client Testimonial
“I first started working with Alex when I lived in New York. My dog Lucy was really struggling with anxiety and was fearful of pretty much everything. Alex worked with Lucy and me, giving us all the tools to help ease Lucy’s anxiety. When I moved to Colorado, we kept up with sessions through zoom to help Lucy with the transition and she is doing so well.
A few months later, I adopted a second dog, Lennon. She had extremely bad separation anxiety. I couldn’t leave my apartment for more than five minutes. I asked Alex for help and I can’t express how much she helped me. With Alex’s patience, help, and guidance, Lennon has zero anxiety when I leave her. Alex takes the time to understand your dog’s needs, check-in on their progress, and really cares about you and your pet. TREAT with Compassion is a 10/10.”
