THe Word around dogtown…

 
 
“Not only did Cecilia help me find my Argos, through Love Leo Rescue, but she trained him, hiked him and socialized him since a very young age. He’s one of the most balanced dogs I’ve ever owned in my life. I highly recommend Cecilia for any behavioral training.”
— Andy C.

“Cecilia is the only person I completely trust with my dog. She trains them, hikes them, boards them, and most of all loves each of them as if they were her own. My dog got to be a part of a pack of incredible dogs, got the best care, amazing exercise, and a little extra training when she needed it. ;) We were so sad when Ceci moved to Denver after 7 years of looking after our little pup. “

“I met Cecilia over 15 years ago while hiking my beloved Kiki on a Los Angeles trail. Cecilia was with her pack and we became friends. Since the very beginning, Cecilia’s loves for her clients was obvious. Since Kiki, I’ve had multiple dogs, including Ollie & Owen. Cecilia has trained all of them and is an invaluable member of our extended family.”
— Bruce N.

“Cecilia is a true gem. She is both a highly skilled dog whisperer and a kind and compassionate person who cares for my dog Lilly as if she were her own. For seven years, Cecilia has taken Lilly on pack hikes (the highlight of her week!) as well as boarding and caring for her when we travel. I trust Cecilia implicitly, as do all the dogs she trains and looks after. This is evident when you see how lovingly and enthusiastically they greet her! Lilly and I highly recommend Cecilia and we are already missing her so much in LA!”

“Cecilia is the best!

We were so lucky that we were referred to Cecilia... our puppy needed socializing and exercise and after meeting each other, it was pure love! Meru loved his daily hikes and daycare visits with Cecilia and her pack (waited by the window every morning!) Every day, post hike/visit, we got pictures and recaps of his antics. She is so attuned to the pups in her care, that she could always tell if something was off and had such pertinent advise on how to address anything we observed in his behaviour. She always goes above and beyond and we trust her unreservedly! Having her in our life not only was enhancing and joyful, it really was like an extension of our family. We miss her dearly. And Meru cannot wait to see her and the motley pup crew again. “

“I worked with Cecilia for 2 1/2 years. She was known in our community as a quality trainer and I felt lucky that she had room to fit us in. My dog and I both fell in love with her. She taught me how to train my new pup who is by far the best trained dog I have ever owned. She also had a hiking service and my dog hiked with her twice a week from the time he was old enough to do so until she moved to Colorado. He also boarded with her - in her home- when we went out of town. My dog loves her so much and he had such a good time with her that I could tell he was bummed to come home (although I also know he loves us!). I always felt a bit guilty about coming back and taking him away from her. Cecilia always sent photos of the dogs on their hikes with her and daily photos when we were out of town. She followed his eating regimen (nothing fancy) and gave him a soft place to sleep and lovely dog friends to play with. Cecilia is the best. Feel free to call me if you’ve got any questions. “

“Cecilia is one of the loveliest people I’ve ever known. Her infinite patience in teaching my dogs to swim, and working with their other issues is something I will be grateful for the rest of my life. Her devotion to dogs knows no limits, and we are fortunate to have her in our lives.’
