TESTIMONIALS
Using Silvia as a consultant for our dog Trixie was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Within the first hour she was able to assess and give us insight on Trixie's behavior. She was able to guide us in the right direction with gentle training. A large part comes from her (Silvia's) love of dogs and from her extensive experience.

Silvia Jay is truly exceptional in every sense of the word. The title “Dog Behaviour Expert” does not fully encompass how much this one woman lives & breathes dogs. Despite being exceedingly educated & experienced in the dog world, she keeps things simple. But, don’t let that fool you. She knows the research. She knows the theories. She knows the techniques. However, rather than robotically repeating this information back, she confidently provides a specific plan for you & your dog(s) in a meaningful way.
​Silvia Jay was worth every penny, & simply cannot be compared to other dog trainers –she’s that good.

I want to thank you for visiting us and for your assessment of Miss Taffy. I can't tell you how relieved I am to have an assessment that I feel is accurate and fair. I have tried several other trainers in the past, but their assessments and recommendations seemed to fall short and did not feel right in my gut, so I was hesitant to fully implement them. However, the information you have provided feels very comfortable, sound, kind, manageable and relevant to Taffy's needs.
