Ronit's Story
Ronit began working with dogs using her Alexander Technique skills. Realizing that she needed to know more about dog training and behavior, she began a serious study of the methods of The Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan, eventually graduating from his course "Training Cesar's Way" in April 2013.
Ronit was highly motivated to meet Cesar and to personally experience his energy while he worked with dogs. She was extremely fortunate to be invited onto Cesar's small course at his famous Dog Psychology Center, where she was chosen from a worldwide pool of applicants.
Ronit's knowledge of The Alexander Technique gives her a unique understanding of energy and body language, an integral part of Cesar's method.

Testimonials
"She just needed to show us how to speak their language"
"Ronit is a magician who shares her magic tricks! In one hour, you can fix almost any problem. Our pups are eager to please. She just needed to show us how to speak their language.
She showed us how to stop them from barking at other dogs on TV, loud noises, music, and just out of excitement. She showed us how to calm them down and greet visitors respectfully.
We are still working, but after just a day or two of reinforcement we already see a huge improvement."

"Cannot recommend Ronit enough!"
"Ronit was amazing.
Just three sessions with her and we noticed a major improvement in our little Raji man. Raji is a rescue and was having aggressive reactivity. We couldn't understand what we were doing wrong. Turns out it's the owners that need training the most.
Cannot recommend Ronit enough!"

"We were STUNNED at the difference!"
"My husband and I adopted a rescue pup and quickly realized we were in way over our heads. Our first night with Arnold was quite literally a sleepless sh*t show, we felt akin to parents of a newborn baby. My husband was ready to send him back to the shelter.
Ronit came highly recommended, and I'm not exaggerating when I say she's the reason we're now a happy family. Her cool & collected demeanor immediately put us all at ease. In just one session, she helped us get Arnold to potty outside, taught us basic leash walking, and "place." We were STUNNED at the difference!
Ronit gave us the skills & confidence we needed to give Arnold the structure, boundaries, and safety he needed. It's been a joy to see his personality blossom! He's curious, playful, intuitive, and trusting.
We're so grateful for Ronit's guidance!"

"We are very happy that we got Cocos aggression under control and know how to handel them both."
"We had a wonderful experience, Ronit was extremely patient and knowledgeable, we noticed results almost immediately and are continuing to use the same training with Winston and Coco everyday.
We are very happy that we got Cocos aggression under control and know how to handel them both.
We would highly recommend Ronit to anyone who is looking for fast and effective results."

"Real results with a gentle, clear approach!"
"This review is a bit late, but I did the 3-lesson training package with Ronit last year, and it made a huge difference for my maltipoo (she was 1 year old at the time).
Ronit helped us teach our dog to walk calmly right next to us, come reliably when called, and how to correct unwanted behaviors immediately and effectively. She also gave us some really helpful tips on easing our dog's anxiety during car rides, which have been super helpful.
Ronit is patient, knowledgeable, and truly understands dog behavior. I'm so glad we worked with her -- highly recommend her training if you're looking for real results with a gentle, clear approach!"

"She is the best!"
"Ronit was just great! She is straightforward and pleasant to work with, and full of useful information in handling problems. Our young dog (one and a half) was barking frantically at other dogs on our walks and pulling hard. Now she behaves so much more reasonably.
I am elderly, so we finally went to using my walker with the leash tied to it. Ronit is so resourceful.
Having Ronit walk with me and patiently correct my dog gave me lots more confidence. I would not hesitate to go back to her for more lessons if needed.
She is the best!"

"Would highly recommend Ronit!"
"Highly recommend!!
My dog Mango had a really bad habit of barking at dogs that were a whole block away from us and it was so bad that people would actively avoid us. Thanks to Ronit's help I can say he has completely stopped this behavior and I can't be happier.
Ronit was so helpful and I could see a difference in the first 1 hour session. She was also really helpful with giving me tools to help with crate training and running out of the door after me.
Would highly recommend Ronit!"

"Ronit was so lovely to work with!"
"Ronit was so lovely to work with!
I reached out with a new rescue dog more or less in a panic dealing with some separation anxiety.
Ronit made herself available for us so quickly! We did a few sessions in my own home as well as local parks and were able to work on multiple different skill areas, including building comfort with "place" and how we can turn that into stability home alone.
I also learned a lot about what I can do with my own behaviors to help my new dog as well as some awesome massage/relaxation techniques!
I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some help with their dog, young or old."

"In a short time we saw a very significant improvement in Smousy’s behavior"
"At the get go, Ronit had our dog, Smousy’s attention and respect. In a short time, with Ronit’s interventions, we saw a very significant improvement in Smousy’s behavior. We’re still learning and practicing the new interventions, and Smousy’s doing so well!
Ronit was so easy to work with with her calm pleasant demeanor and her keen, intuitive, and astute ability to lead Smousy! And even with our neighbors' dog too!! (Our neighbors' dog joined our last session).
Smousy has been eager to please and change her ways. We’re the ones who needed the training, and Smousy’s going along with it! Our neighbors have noticed and commented that Smousy has been much calmer since our training sessions with Ronit.
Thank you Ronit! Mark and Sherie"

"Let me tell you Ronit is an amazing trainer"
"Where to begin about Ronit. My husband and I took three lessons with her to try to tame our pack. I had no idea what to expect. Let me tell you Ronit is an amazing trainer. Her energy is so calm and she is such an encouraging person. She taught us how to be pack leader with confidence and I am amazed at the results.
It only took three lessons to turn this group around. Our dogs are calmer, happier and know their place.
I wish I had done this years ago."

"I feel more connected to my dog and understand him better"
"Ronit made me feel a lot more confident by teaching me my dog's style of learning and how to read his body language. Since learning this, he has listened much better, he has been less anxious, and walks on a leash the best he's ever walked.
She also taught me what a proper on-leash dog meet looks like and it has greatly improved our walks!
We have been to a couple different trainers, but I feel like Ronit made me really connect with my dog to help me understand him better.
Thank you so much!"

"Can’t believe it !!!"

Ronit was astonishing, and wonderfully kind to Bear.. I recommend her highly!"

"I highly recommend Ronit to anyone who is looking to get good dog training!"
"Ronit, was great for me and my golden retriever! She taught me a lot of behavioral skills for my puppy (Mookie) and she did a great job of explaining the different techniques with training. Ronit also taught me a lot about leash skills, and some calming techniques that I use if Mookie ever gets over-stimulated.
Ronit also helped me out tremendously with the proper dog food that i should give my pup, and educated me on that, which was a huge help.
I highly recommend Ronit to anyone who is looking to get good dog training! i will definitely refer her to friends or family who have a dog because her work is outstanding and she is very knowledgeable." John J., Carpinteria, CA Oct 2023

"Her method worked!"
"Ronit did training in the most gentle, loving way with our two dogs (a playful goldendoodle puppy and an older more "set in her ways" lab). Her method worked!
Ronit addressed our biggest concerns...running out of an open gate and car safety. After 3 sessions, our dogs know exactly what NOT to do!
Our time and money spent was totally worthwhile."
