We knew within a month of receiving our Lagotto Romagnolo puppy that something was seriously wrong, and had no idea how to help her. Kate LaSala worked MIRACLES with our fearful dog just by training US. A year ago our 6 month old, Bisca, refused to go outside. We had to literally carry her out the door in our busy city neighborhood. There she would freeze, unwilling to take a single step, too fearful even to urinate, or she’d scramble in panic, ranging back and forth like a maniac, straining pitifully at the end of her leash in efforts to escape people walking by on the sidewalk, passing traffic, unfamiliar noises, even things flapping the breeze… she was absolutely terrified of everything but other dogs (loves other dogs) and us, her people. After working closely with Kate for the past several months, Bisca walks happily to the park every day where she romps in playful abandon with the other dogs and approaches people, even people she doesn’t know, for petting and treats! At home when the doorbell rings Bisca wags her entire back end furiously, pushing to the door to be first to greet whomever has arrived! The change that has resulted from Kate’s training plan is nothing short of astounding. We’ve had other dogs. Thought we knew dogs and how they think. We knew nothing. Thank God we found Kate.
