All Greatful Dogs Testimonials

I wanted to thank you for the work you performed on Skyler. Before you 'worked your magic' he was in pain, couldn't go on long walks, and really wanted to play but just couldn't. It was quite sad. Now, he is a happy, 'bouncing off the walls' cattle dog and once again enjoys our evening walks along the canal, in the neighborhood, and hikes in the mountains. I'm looking forward to scheduling my next session with him as well as ongoing sessions to add to his overall well-being. Thank you, you gave me back my wonderful boy.

I wanted to thank you for transforming Dixie and restoring her to a happy healthy little dog. Before you treated Dixie she had a dip (I'm not sure if that is the right term) in her back, she walked stiffly and was over sensitive to the touch. After being worked on she showed visible improvement. Your healing hands made a remarkable difference. Her back looks more normal and no longer has a dip, her gait is relaxed and she acts like she feels much better.

Dear Tawni,

Thank you so much for helping me to shift my role from that of mom-of-dog to calm, assertive pack leader.

I have been the primary caretaker of three female bull terriers for over 30 years, and completed several obedience courses with each. However, I was not prepared for little Miss Alice. A rescue dog with a questionable and difficult past, she came to live with me in January 2005. Her exceptionally strong will 'the trait I admire most yet am most challenged by' was beyond my skills. It was clear we would both need strong, expert assistance in establishing a different relationship. Alice has mellowed beyond what I thought was possible, and through your wonderful training guidance and agility course, has gained self confidence and the ability to relax and have fun.

Many thanks from Marnie Shepperd and Alice

Tawny worked on Jenna after a shoulder tendon injury, caused by playing fetch I think. Jenna runs flyball competitively and we needed her healthy again. Tawny's excellent body work, help jump start Jenna to getting better. She has been running again now since March 07 after a Oct 06 injury and is doing well. So well in fact that in June 07, she ran a startling 4.17 second run! Back to her old self! Go Jenna, who tunrs 7 yrs young September 1st 2007!

As you remember when you first met George and started working with him (and my husband and I) we were somewhat resistant to all that WE would have to do to help George discover that he was NOT the one in charge of the family. J After all, you were a ”dog trainer” and WE were not the dog. As we soon discovered it was really US who needed the training in order to help George find his place (a happier one) in our family. We only met with you a few times initially; but when WE became serious about his behaviors we knew that you were the one who could make the difference and the only one we considered calling for help. Thanks to you, George is now my Assistance Dog, his manners have improved immensely, and friends and family have all commented on how much better behaved he is now. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you being willing to start again and give us another chance. J

I know there is a well known trainer who is known as the “Dog Whisperer”; but in my mind that title belongs to you. No one else could have done for George and us what you have. I am now able to take George with me wherever I go and he behaves beautifully. His socialization skills have improved dramatically and he is a much easier and more fun dog to be around.

You have taught me how to be more assertive in my working with George, but still be able to cuddle with him when that is my need. But I do look forward to “touch up” visits with you as he (and I) can only benefit from those.

Wolf is doing great and I would be happy to write a testimonial and feel free to use it in any way you wish. I also attached a picture of my best buddy Wolf that you are free to publish as well.

I brought my 10 year old Golden Retriever/Chow mix, Wolf, to Tawni McBee’s TAP class because he suffers from arthritis. He is my best buddy and you do what you can to keep you best buddy from hurting. Tawni also noticed that he had a stiff back, which she spotted when she had me walk him across the room.

Wolf really enjoyed the massage techniques Tawni taught us and when he went to his little brother’s obedience school graduation 3 days later, Tawni noticed that a lot of his stiffness was gone. Since his "spa day" and my learning the techniques, he moves easier and is more inclined to play.

I highly recommend attending Tawni’s TAP (now called Kokoro body care) sessions, especially if you have an older dog. She will show you ways to make their later years more comfortable. Also it’s nice to have a way to pay them back for years of faithfulness and devotion.

Hi Tawni,

It's me JoJo--remember, wild, crazy, over reactive---where's the ball, the ball, the ball?!?! and Copa--easy going, let me know when you're ready. I'll be chillin right here.

We just want to say thanks bunches for training our Mom's! We didn't think anyone could accomplish what you did.

We don't bark at the front window so much any more because they give us something else to do which is much more fun and sometimes we may get a treat!! Now we're working on having the front door open.

We worked on being calm when it's time to go for a walk. The first 3 or 4 times I was having nothing to do with it. I'd get my collar and leash on and I'd sit and whine, bark, cry, pant and bug my eyes out. I couldn't get my mom to just take me for a walk for nothing. I would carry on like that for 20 to 25 minutes, finally I'd give up and after 5 minutes of quiet, we'd get to go for a walk!!! I've gotten much better about walks now and I know I have to be calm in order to go.

I still play with my ball and I'm learning to have patience with that, too. I have to do sits,downs etc so I don't get all over wired when I play. Yes, I'm learning----I mean I'm teaching my mom's that I can do all kinds of cool stuff. I can go thru the tunnel, walk the plank, and go under the table and chairs. Copa does fun stuff, too. She loves the teeter-tooter, walking on low walls, the tunnel and she can crawl. Thanks for teaching our mom's to be calm, have patience and if they get frustrated with us to sit on the curb and remember why they love us. Sometimes I think they want us to show them everything we can do right now, but hey, what fun would that be? It's the journey, all the travels along the way that make it all worthwhile. Seeing the light in their eyes and how they beam with pride when we reveal something new. That's what I'm talking about. They think it's really cool too that we can email or call with questions or just to let you know how we're doing! We're all very glad you're there for us!!!

Thanks Bunches!!!! Big ole sloppy wet puppylicks!!!! JoJo & Copa
