Bernie

We LOVE Sherry!  Our dog Bernie has a couple of issues:  he’s reactive to other dogs while on leash, and he is a bit toy obsessed.  We actually got to the point where we couldn’t even take Bernie on walks anymore, because he would bark at every single dog he saw. We were pretty much at our wits’ end.  Luckily, we found Sherry and she has taught Bernie to be a calm dog while he’s on leash and sees other dogs passing him. 

It has been a complete turnaround for him!  This was really hard for Bernie, but with Sherry’s calm, patient training, he has done awesome!!  We continue to practice with him every time we’re on a walk.  

Sherry’s method of training is the best!  No yelling, no punishment.  Just positive reinforcement and reward for completing whatever the task may be. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sherry as a trainer.  We love her and will continue to use her for all our pooches!!  Thank you Sherry!!!!

Sherry is a lifesaver. We have two rescued pit bulls and have had numerous trainers in the past that negatively reinforced aggressive behaviors (choke chains, shock collars etc). Sherry introduced us to an entirely new way of thinking about animal behaviors; a more intuitive, positive and loving way to manage our fur babies. She was organized, reliable and consistent in her training and empowered us with the right tools to understand our pups and modify their behaviors positively. We are now more aware of their triggers and feel secure with them in all environments. Thank you Sherry for transforming our deepest fears into an overall sense of security and confidence. We cannot recommend Sherry enough!

When looking for a trainer to help me deal with two of my dogs (both Mini Aussies) barking and lunging at other dogs and people during walks, I knew I needed to do some research. I had already had a very poor experience with another trainer I had tried, who thought prong collars, electric shock collars and training by intimidation was the way to go. I was looking for someone who trained with compassion, love and knowledge of dog psychology behind them. Why make terrified dogs even more afraid? My research led me to Sherry Nativo of All About Training Dogs. In the short 3 ½ months that we have been under her guidance, I can now walk along the street filled with people and dogs without one lunge or bark from my two dogs. All of the training Sherry has provided has been extremely positive and my dogs are incredibly excited when they see her, not fearful.

She was exactly what I was looking for in a trainer, and I can’t believe what a difference our walks now look like. I highly recommend Sherry for any dog training issues.

Sherry is awesome! We have used her personally and with our dog rescue for several years now. Sherry explains things clearly and is easy to understand. Sherry explains things from the dog’s perspective that is easy to understand and relate to your own human feelings. Her practical day-to-day tips are easy to implement and she focuses on positive reward-based training. 

If you are ever having an issue with your dog, please consult with Sherry. She is trustworthy, and reliable, has a love and passion for what she does, and her training methods WORK!
