TESTIMONIALS
“Kelly has been a strong supporter in my relationship with my dog, Max. I talked to her about Max because he would often develop a bladder infection when I had to be away several nights in a row. I wanted to comfort him, to let him know that I was coming back. I had been told that dogs live in the present and could not be reassured regarding absences. That made me feel anxious. Kelly was able to communicate to Max that my husband and I would be gone for three weeks, that we were coming back, and even specifics about who would be looking after him while we were away. Also, Kelly was able to assure me that Max was aware that we were planning a trip and that he appreciated the effort we were making to see that he was well cared for while we were away. Kelly encouraged me to trust that in remembering Max, I could send him my love. When we returned, he was well. I was able to enjoy my trip so much more because I knew that Max and I both felt understood and reassured.”

“Kelly McGinley’s insight is invaluable in assisting with the rehabilitation and training of the dogs that I work with. Understanding how the dogs feel and what they think enables me to work with them far more effectively. What a wonderful resource!”

“Kelly has been an invaluable resource for me in the rescue work I love. With her help and support I’ve been able to foster fearful and abused dogs. The dogs come in to rescue and I have very little knowledge of their background and what their experiences have been. It is extremely helpful to learn from them what they have been through and how they are feeling in my home towards me, my husband, and our own three dogs. The knowledge that I gain from Kelly saves me precious time so I can more quickly address the specific issues each dog is experiencing.
In addition, Kelly helps me to maintain the very important relationships I have with my own dogs. Even though my dogs are somewhat used to foster dogs passing through there are times when Kelly has helped me to determine that one of my own may be feeling neglected or threatened by their new housemate.
If anyone is having problems with their dog or just want to know why they are behaving in certain ways, I can’t recommend anyone more adept than Kelly.”

“We have a pack of rescued and abandoned dogs. The first year was an incredible challenge as their various issues, insecurities and past abuses/ negligent treatment came to the surface. Without Kelly’s help, we would have never been able to get to the bottom of their issues and behaviors and form a peaceful and balanced pack. There are several things that Kelly told us about our household that she could not have known. I would urge anyone that has rescued or adopted a rescued animal to consider having Kelly communicate with that pet. Understanding what has happened in the past makes it much easier to help them to adjust to their new homes and heal from previous poor treatment. We can’t thank Kelly enough for her help in bringing peace and healing to our household.”
