Customer Reviews
Shirley Robinson: I can't say enough good things about Mayuri and this program and how my dog and I have grown! I'd taken my dog, Baxter, to a few training programs before this one with no luck in making things better. He's food/dog/child reactive and I just figured he was going to be that way forever and i'd have to alter everything to make it work. I found Mayuri from DoggEd and after talking to her could tell she genuinely loves what she does. I only saw a few reviews, but took a chance because she explained things so well just in our consultation call. After working with her for a few months, i'm seeing so many changes in Baxter that I still get shocked! She's helped me with his impulse control and attachment issues, and his reactivity is melting away! He's more comfortable around children, doesn't get overly excited when he sees a dog, and stopped snapping at other dogs when there was food or treats around! The best part about her program is that you don't have to constantly expose your dog to their trigger to see progress (which you can't always afford to do if it's dangerous). Please consider doing this program for your dog, I can tell he's happier and way more at ease and so am I!!
Jennifer S.: Koda is fear reactive to people he does not know; especially to those he does not know on our property and specifically inside our home. He is not the type of dog that will come running up to someone he does not know and is not a happy go lucky pup with people. He bit several people last year after he turned 9 months old and just obtained his CGC! Literally one week after he obtained his Canine Good Citizen, he bit a friend of mine. I was mortified! Then he bit our grandkids and the worse part he bit a pizza delivery driver late last December which sent the delivery driver to the hospital! We did not know what we were going to do. All I could do was cry.
We contacted Mayuri Kerr late last winter. I must say, when we found Mayuri, my husband and I hit the jackpot! Mayuri has changed our entire outlook on what Koda has been going through. She helped us to understand through training and positive reinforcement by educational games that we too could help Koda.
Mayuri's training, her love for our Koda, the games we have played and the knowledge she has shared has changed our Koda Bear and family's life over and over!! We understand, there still will be moments and days that may be difficult for Koda. He has anxiety disorder and startle syndrome. We have worked every moment we can to help him through Mayuri's guidance and I cannot believe the freedoms we are experiencing and to especially see Koda with confidence and less fear. Those baby steps are turning into bigger steps and the rewards are beyond endless! There are angels who have hope!! Mayuri you are our Angel!!! Thank you so very much!!!
Lori D.: We came to Mayuri when we were near the end of our rope. We had adopted our pup from a rescue when he was 8 weeks old and by the time we had our consultation with Mayuri, he was about 20 months old, had become reactive (barking, lunging, raised hackles) to all people, dogs and was generally very difficult for us to manage. We had a very hard time taking him on walks. He also didn't know how to calm down and sleep if he wasn't in his crate so when he was out, we would have to give him 100% attention. Taking care of him and keeping him occupied used to consume 5-6 hours of my days. From the initial consultation, Mayuri was very engaged in trying to decipher how to help both me as a guardian and my dog work towards the life that we wanted. She has a wealth of knowledge and is very committed to helping in any way she can. She's quick to respond and has great insights into what is going on and the course of action to work towards the desired outcomes. Mayuri helped us hone in on the key concepts and training games that would help our dog become the well mannered dog we always hoped he would be. We learned a lot about his behavior and general personality being anxious, noise and movement sensitive and generally fearful. After working with Mayuri for the last several months, we have seen significant improvement. He is calmer in general and walks are more manageable. He is working towards being more comfortable in new situations and has a higher tolerance towards things that used to set him off. It is still a work in progress but we have both definitely come a long way. Mayuri is a trainer that truly cares to see you and your dog succeed and has given us the tools to help continue to see positive growth for our dog!

Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
