Testimonial 78 - Filomena

Where do I begin? We have a 3 year old Chow/Pit mix, Filomena, who has been extremely fearful and anxious since we rescued her at 8 weeks. She barks and growls out of fear when she sees strangers and other dogs and she and our other rescue, Kalliope, got into …

Testimonial 77 - Harper

The world needs more Aunt Marys! Mary was amazing, she is positive and brings such great energy to each interaction and session. She is a master at communication and dog behavior. Her through reviews of our dog's behavior and issues were spot on and her plans and methods to address …

Testimonial 76 - JoJo

We adopted a 6-month female chihuahua mix who was very anxious around noises, children running around, visitors, and some dogs. After a few months, our dog’s anxiety turned into aggression and she unexpectedly bit most of the family members. Especially, my kids were very afraid of being next to our …

Testimonial 75 - Cosmo

I’m so grateful to have found Mary Huntsberry! I had adopted a cat, Cosmo, that started to very regularly chew/eat inappropriate items - first it was strings, then wire cords, then cloth items. The more I removed target items, the more Cosmo seemed to seek out alternatives. Items we’re getting …

Testimonial 74 - Meredith

Testimonial 72 - Stanley

We brought our dog Stanley to Mary on the referral of our vet. The situation was serious, with daily confrontations common and four bites to date. Mary asked us to complete a survey of our history with Stanley. We also took videos for her to review. She understood everything before …

Testimonial 71 - Henry

When we adopted Henry from the kill shelter, we had no idea he would come with the issues he did. I immediately researched a specialist for dogs with behavior problems, and with incredible luck found Mary. It was a great match right from the beginning. Her honestly was refreshing even …

Testimonial 70 - Leo

I'm still grateful every day for Mary's help. When I started having problems with my rescue pup I first reached out to a behaviorist who was recommended to me by the adoption organization. When I told her about the challenges I was having with Leo, she seemed convinced that Leo …

Testimonial 69 - Riker & Ellie

We first came to Mary with our ten-month-old puppy, Riker, who had severe behavioral problems compounded by chronic health issues for his entire young life.
