  • Best Animal and People Trainer

    Verena (Reward Your Dog) has taught me so much. She is so intuitive with animals and extremely good at teaching humans to communicate with animals. I’m in the process of training my Aussie, Amma to be my Seizure Response Service Dog. Thanx to Verena the process is going really well. Thank you Verena for your patience and emotional intelligence. Amma and I really appreciate you.
