Claudia has a wonderful way with dogs. She has cared for our golden retriever, Gracie. I know that Gracie is given love and attention and kept safe while she is with Claudia. Claudia is both firm and kind. Dogs know that she is in charge and they can trust her to take care of them. The best testimonial comes from Gracie. Gracie is not a licker; she does not give away many kisses. However, when she sees Claudia, she greets Claudia with a happy lick - which is highly unusual and, I believe, a great compliment!
