  • A.B. – Good morning, you worked with us and our little GSP last year. I’m so excited I wanted to share that we have successfully been able to leave Birdie and CJ at home without medication for up to a few hours!!! No destructive behavior and little to no stress! I can’t thank you enough for all your help.
