What can be said about Joyce that hasn't been said of any great teacher,guide, Sherpa to one's own true self? She; the hallmark of wisdom, patience
and bearer of the most delectable treats had ever a hound. What a sanctuary found I in the warm embrace that was her strong, learned spirit, from my
turbulent and troubled life prior to my current and final home to roam? Ah,Joyce! How shall I thank thee for the freedom to truly live, love as best friend to
man aspires. A simple Dane dares only to beg, thy lap, a kiss,but nary for free. I endeavor to earn my reward and in so doing inspire my love anew for
my bipedal parentage, and for thee, my teacher, my guide, my gentle leader.

Is your dog with you in mind and body? What channel is your dog on? Is he in tune with you? Just a few questions and Lance and I were on to success.
Joyce explained - Lance had a well conditioned body, good food, lots of exercise, very healthy. He could definitely win a marathon for bulldogs. The
problem was his mind. He vomited every time he and I entered the showing. Not fun for him or me. Lance and I went to work; both tuned into the same
channel. Vomiting stopped and now just a few months later we are both smiling and in tune. Thank you Joyce!

I adopted a small breed dog from the Humane Society about five years ago. Teddy is a very loving dog and a great pet except that he suffers from
severe separation anxiety and O.C.D. ( compulsively licks his paws). When we leave the house Teddy cries then begins to howl, he scratches the door
franticly and at times vomits. He was started on tranquilizers by the vet. to try to calm him which only left him a little dazed but the paw licking became
worse, to the point he had no fur on any of his legs and paws. My vet recommended having him seen by a behaviorist and Joyce came to the rescue.
After three appointments Joyce taught us how to work through our problems and today teddy has fur on all of his paws, we can leave the house without
any notice, and Teddy is no longer on any medications. Our family thinks Joyce is a true genius and we can't thank her enough for helping us to be able
to enjoy our pet.

Joyce,
Just wanted to send you a note to thank you for all your help with our little rescue terrier, Brandi. She was having terrible separation anxiety and was
very shy and timid and exhibiting alpha tendencies making her very nervous and unhappy when we would leave her alone
After only a few weeks using your training instructions, the transformation in Brandi is amazing! She has already learned a few commands and does
Stay very well and now has mastered Down (at least with a treat as reward). We took her to the pet park yesterday and some of the people who had not
seen her in a while were amazed at her progress. She is so much more lively, happy and playful. She even initiates play with the other dogs (she used
to just sit and watch and not get too involved).
We are happy with her progress when we leave the house also. We give her a busy bone or kong and leave without her seeing us. When she comes
out she wanders around for a while looking for us and then she usually lies down for awhile or goes back into her room. She does not bark or call us
back as long as she does not see us leave. Hopefully, when we finish the Protocol lessons we can work on leaving while she watches us leave. We
have decided not to crate her since she is not doing any damage to anything in the house. She does like her crate, however, and sleeps in it every
night.
Overall, we are very pleased with the progress Brandi is making. She always looks at us directly when we speak to her and does not follow us around
the house quite so much. I know this is a long process and we are being very patient with her, but she is a much happier, confident little dog. Thanks
for all your help and Brandi says Thank You too!
