We’ve noticed a big change in Crooke's behavior. Thanks to Elise he’s a happier dog. We are also happier and are not afraid when we do have the little one’s around... Thanks, Elise! ~ the Adams

In 2007, I started the Pet Services Directory in partnership with Alyssa Ward, a wonderful trainer based in
Northampton. Our mission was to provide a comprehensive resource list for pet owners so that they felt
comfortable with the various pet providers they were using... and that they were receiving consistent
philosophies from these providers. The initial Pet Services Directory was a great success and we were
able to peer review and list a wide variety of organizations for our clients. After I relocated to Houston, the
Directory continued to thrive under the diligent guidance and oversight of Alyssa Ward and the future
partners she invited into the peer review. The Directory stands solid as of its last review. We invite you to
offer testimonials and other insight about your experience. For those of you just acquiring a new pet, these
listings will provide a starting foundation for providing your pet for the best possible experience. If you
have questions, contact Elise for more information at elise@petbehaviorconsulting.com!
