Working with Tracy was nothing short of amazing. She has a well-defined system, easy to follow structure, excellent feedback and response time, and is always available. Tracy’s business is transparent, her communication style is crystal clear, and the payment process was straightforward and easy. Our pup, a beagle mix, may ultimately have had less separation anxiety than us, but with Tracy’s help we have finally gotten our lives back! This is not an exaggeration! Dinner, brunch, shopping, we’re now able to do it all, and have drastically reduced our pet care costs. What’s more, our pup is comfortable and trust-worthy at home. No distress, no chewing, no howling. We can’t thank Tracy enough and would recommend her to literally everyone.

The more I read and watch the resources that Tracy Krulik  shared with me about doggie dimentia, the more I realize that she could have very easily told me over the phone or in writing that this was the most likely cause and directed me to talk to my vet. My sweet, aging dog's symptoms couldn't be more textbook, and yet, she took the time to visit, to do things with him while we were talking that I am certain revealed and clarified her initial thoughts, and somehow made this crummy news feel like a relief, a minor challenge, a new way to connect with my dog, and not a sentence. I have books, supplements and toys on order and an upcoming appointment with a doc I would not have otherwise known is well-versed in this subject. Not to mention, she accepted (only when forced!) compensation in Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. If you need help understanding what your dog is trying to tell you, you will find it and more from Tracy.

Tracy's method works, period. During just four weeks of Tracy's program, Nala went from 2 seconds of successfully being alone to ten minutes!!! Tracy does all of the planning, organizing, and analysis needed to effectively train your dog, so all we had to do was the exercises. She also made it clear to us that when we bought her package we got pretty much 24/7 access to her expertise (which might be the best part). She supported us when we needed encouragement, and celebrated successes with us that no one else understood. And Tracy knows dogs! Thanks to her, I understand Nala a lot better. Now, not only can we leave Nala alone for up to 7 hours at a time, but we can also relax and enjoy our time out, confident that we will return to a pee- and destruction-free home, and a happy, anxiety-free dog. Tracy’s training package was way more than worth the time, effort, and money put in! Thank you so much Tracy--as others have said, we have our life back!!

Tracy is not only a great trainer, she is perhaps even more importantly a lovely and generous human being. She led this desperate dog Mom and her anxious rescue pug through the steps of systematic desensitization — but Tracy went well beyond that. She helped me to navigate life with a dog with separation anxiety, helped to buoy us when we hit a regression and injected humor along the way. She makes herself completely available to clients and no question is insignificant. I also found it incredibly comforting that Tracy “got it” given her own experience with parenting a dog with SA. I could not recommend her more highly. ​
