Dog Rehabilitation and Makeover Intensive Program

“My husband and I first started using Val’s services to help us with our dogs, Heidi and Speedy.  Heidi was aggressive and unpredictable, and Speedy was all over the place!  We used to dread taking them on walks, and they barked at strangers and family alike.  Heidi had bitten several people and I was a bit afraid of her.  Their aggression seemed to be escalating and we didn’t know what to do.  We never knew what would set them off, and lived in fear that they’d bite someone or get in a fight with another dog.  Val taught us so much in a short amount of time! They became really well behaved and  reliable.  We actually looked forward to going for a walk with them!  That was amazing and something we never thought would happen!  And as we learned to communicate with our dogs ourselves, things got easier and easier.

Then I got pregnant with our first child.  Val’s healing work and gentle therapies helped me have an easy pregnancy and delivery.  It was fascinating when the dogs told us things about the baby as it was growing inside me.

Since Heidi had never been comfortable around children, we were terribly afraid of what she might do when we brought our baby home.  Val worked with us, helping us all build our confidence as we learned how to give Heidi good clear signals and support, and Speedy more direction about what we wanted her to do.  It turned out that when we brought Luke home, it was a non-event!  We’d never have believed it possible before.

I’m sad to say that Heidi’s difficult personality and chronic pain issues got the best of her, and we decided to do the compassionate and safe thing for all of us.  With heavy hearts, we wound up putting her down last spring.  We know we did the right thing by her and our growing family.  And after talking with Heidi through Val, we know that Heidi is fine now too, and is happily watching out for us in spirit.

I also decided to work with Val on some personal issues and I’m thrilled to report what’s happened.  We’ve worked through some marital issues and now my husband and I are closer than ever before!  I’ve also suffered with a long time addiction to cake and sweets that began in college.  And in our last session, Val helped me bust the addiction!  Before, I couldn’t stop eating until it was all gone and I’d find myself taking frequent trips to the bakery for more.  I even confess I had taken to hiding sweets and would “plot” how I could get seconds or thirds at a party and no one notice.  I knew it was time to get help.

Now, things are going really well with limiting sweets.  I was really proud of my self during the holidays as Steven and I split a piece of pie and it did not even taste that good!  Thank you for all of your help and we hope you have a Happy Holidays!”

I was at my wits end, struggling with my dog’s out of control behavior. I’d tried everything I could think of, and since I am a dog trainer, and I compete with and show my dogs, that’s saying a LOT! But, nothing was working so I decided to give Val a call. I was so amazed!In one session, my dog’s behavior changed and I could tell we were working together as a team for the first time. It was like she understood me now where she hadn’t before. AND, I was so impressed, that I began working with Val for my own health problems. I am happy to say that I am so much better, life is easier, my relationship with myself and my husband has improved, my business is taking off…. I don’t know where I’d be without Val — don’t want to know!! She’s a remarkable resource and facilitator for me and my clients too. Thank You, Val!!!

“I am so appreciative of you.  I feel like I have so much more control of myself.  Thank you for helping me with my confidence.  We were talking about how good the puppies are now (they were driving us crazy before!) and how much you have helped me with them.  Their health has improved along with their behavior.  I wish, I wish, I had known you when Alex and Bear Bear were alive. Their lives would have been much healthier and happier.  I wish I had known to talk to them like you’ve taught me to do with Honey.  I get a look of true understanding from Honey and Katie now.  I used to dread going home; now, I can’t wait to get home to see them. I love them so.   Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!” – Angela S, San Antonio, TX

After Angela had been working with me for a few more months this is what she had to say:

“Just wanted to send you some new pictures of my girls.  Honey’s gray stripe that was down the middle of her back is gone.  She still has gray but more dispersed and a little more concentrated under her chin, but look at those ears!  I think they are beautiful.  Kathie has always looked good to me.  She has a beautifully muscled body.  Thank you for all of your help.  Angela,”

Dear Val,

Three and a half months ago I was devastated with the news that my sweet, loving little dog, Willy, had advanced liver disease. Armed with nothing but a prescription for antibiotics and a “wait to see what happens” from the vet I read everything I could get my hands on from the Internet and ordered in all probably $1,000 worth of supplements and ebooks. I found myself shopping for the best quality of anything I thought Willy might be able to eat and keep down.

After 45 days Willy seemed to be improving remarkably. I live in a heavily mosquito infested area and since Willy had already skipped one month of heart wormer, I gave him his dose and he crashed three days later. The vomiting, jaundice etc. were back and we were at square one again only the vet didn’t seem to think that the heart wormer was to blame.

Willy was begging for the worst kinds of food (cheese and ham) and he started to swell with ascites. He got so big and uncomfortable and I thought we were losing the battle. In my researching the Internet I saw your website and contacted you for an appointment.

At the time I was irritated at your fee and in the back of my mind thought about cancelling it. The following week in my work, the new clients I attracted seemed to want me to work for a lot less than I was worth so I recognized this as a message from the universe and started to open my mind about the price.

While waiting for your consultation appointment, Willy started having tremors and couldn’t walk and it was so heart breaking I decided upon rising one day to have him euthanized when I got home from work. I called you and left you a message telling you this and you called me back within an hour and asked me to consider waiting if I could until after your session which was only 4 days away.

When I got home, Willy greeted me with so much enthusiasm, I knew you were right. And I scheduled his ultrasound from an internal specialist for the next week.

Our session came and it was so beautiful and profound it is hard to put into words. You communicate with animals from the highest possible place… you touch the sacred place in beings and heal from this place.

Willy had allot to say about the purpose and reason for his illness and how i could heal him. Being able to communicate to him so precisely enabled me to see him as the high spiritual being he truly is and in thus doing he started to heal himself in the session. He said that the something that was twisting in his stomach was unwinding and that he was already feeling the pressure release.

During this session, you applied healing to every being in my household and gave a rating on what Willy was taking and eating as to what was most beneficial and least beneficial.

Just 36 hours later Willy’s fluid buildup was totally and completely gone. The doctor giving the ultra-sound 3 days later said there was NO fluid in his abdomen and that whatever was causing the disease was gone. The doctor even said that she would call it a miracle!

In retrospect, if someone I know is in trouble, before I do anything I will call you, for my animals, for my grandsons, for myself. I have recommended you to anyone I think might be open to listen. I will gladly pay your fee and gloat at the money I have saved on dangerous surgeries, medications etc. I am so thankful for your gifts and talents. I can verify that you are indeed a Master Healer.

“I wanted to Thank You for the very beautiful and powerful session you conducted for my wife and her dog, Wendy.  You helped both of them clarify the course of the next few months, and in the process helped Nancy bring to the surface and deal with feelings she had been avoiding.

I know it was a truly healing experience for both of them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping my family.”

Over the last four years in working with you, I have learned that in order to help my Shetland Sheepdog, Kati, I must first look within myself and heal the imbalances in my thinking, feeling, and physical self.

Kati was mostly a reflection or mirror of what was going on inside of me. If I was afraid or angry, Kati would react with barking and fear/aggression behaviors. If I was ambivalent or frustrated because I was unsure of my inner strength, Kati would test the limits.

With your help, Val, I was able to see what I was doing instead of thinking I needed to fix her. You gave me clear directions and encouraged me to experiment with different behaviors. You helped me balance my emotions, calming myself first so that Kati can be calm.

Our walks are more pleasant, she calms down when I ask her to, and she alerts me when it’s necessary.

My relationship with Kati has reached a level beyond simple obedience training. You’ve made it possible for us to experience a sweet cooperation that will only grow richer.

Thank you again.

Wow! I was blown away by how on target you were during our recent session. You answered questions I had not even thought to ask, and provided such wonderful insight about Finley’s overall health and wellbeing. I

went into our session with a healthy amount of skepticism, however, you proved to not only be the real deal….but much to my surprise, since our session last week, Finley’s whole demeanor has changed.

He has more energy, seems happier and more like the dog we knew before the stress of our recent relocation. You are a tremendous resource and I hope to have a chance to work with you again. Thanks for all your help!!!

On asking Val Heart to help with my companion dog, Elsa.

Elsa is an extraordinarily perceptive, kind, co-operative and loving dog with a strong personality and a great sense of humor. She is great company and will do anything to try to help in our lives together. She is so gentle, I can take food out of her mouth without any protest.

This, however, was not our neighbors’ perception of her. They could only see and hear a loud, piercing and persistent bark and an intimidating, crazed dog. She barked at anyone walking by the house, delivery vans, cars, cats, birds, and above all the postman. If any visitors came to the house she would bark over them every time the spoke or moved around. If we needed a workman round, she would have to go to my mum’s. She never attacked or bit, but was always very vocal. People were annoyed and felt intimidated. I was upset because people couldn’t see her loving nature. The neighbors complained and relationships became fraught. In her training, diet, and exercise we had always been very conscientious. Nothing was more important to me than the health and happiness of this girl. I increased my efforts in training. People suggested all sorts: sound devices that would hurt her ears, electric collars etc. but I was not prepared to use any method that would hurt her or bully her. I knew that if Elsa understood a situation, she would do everything she could to contribute positively because that was her nature. So I signed up to Val’s beginning animal communication course. However, when she started to become aggressive towards other dogs in the neighborhood, I realized that swift and strong intervention was needed to avoid anyone getting hurt or worse. I signed up to Val’s 3-month behavior intervention plan.

This wasn’t like any doggy training I had done before! Val helped clear up misunderstandings around my ‘no bark command ‘ straight away and showed me how to successfully redirect her when barking. Elsa had thought we were playing a completely different game!

Val picked up on Elsa’s nervous energy and taught me some calming breathing techniques to do together. She immediately became generally calmer. Sometimes I thought I was imagining it, but my mother, who knows her well, confirmed my impressions.

Elsa was 2 kilos overweight and reducing her food intake, even more, seemed impossible, as did getting in more exercise daily. Val felt into Elsa’s body and following her advice, giving her a different kind of meat, she dropped the 2 kilos naturally.

Val communicated my concerns to Elsa about her behavior towards other dogs. The following day we came across her arch doggy enemy whose guardian suggested we let them sort out their differences in a controlled way. Synchronicity in action. We had never been able to speak before – the aggression and fighting had been so loud and immediate. This time, they snapped at each other a little, then sniffed bottoms, and carried on their way. I no longer had to worry about avoiding particular routes or times of day. She’s still happiest off the lead with other dogs, still a little wary of two in particular, but we haven’t had a horrible aggressive incident since.

Val taught me that animals mirror the deepest, most intimate parts of us – Elsa had been sensing my own anxiety around life and people and doing her darndest to protect me at all times! I had assumed this anxiety was just an immovable part of me. Val challenged this and showed me that if I wanted Elsa to become calm, sociable and happy, I had to become calm, sociable and happy. Val has helped me to start a journey of finding and healing my deepest fears– not quite effortlessly, but almost! Elsa continues to mirror my changes. I’m still working on this and Elsa mirrors my progress. Val has been the kindest, wisest and clearest help to both of us.

I was concerned about the financial investment initially – we don’t usually have money left over at the end of the month. I’ve been able to find some extra work to fund this and it has been worth every penny. Elsa is happier, healthier, relationships with neighbors are improving, and a whole new way of perceiving my life and the world is opening up. I am so relieved that aggressive incidents have not recurred, and we don’t have to move house to protect Elsa.

I’m also so happy to be able to work with Elsa rather than subdue or ‘tame’ her enthusiasm for life. I’m so glad that I followed my intuition telling me that harsh methods were just not the answer. Every conversation with Val is like nothing I could predict or expect! I feel I am in safe hands, learning so much about the nature of the universe and all the precious beings who are part of it.

Hi Val, I just have to brag about our dogs Roxie and Gypsy today.

As you’ll remember, when my husband and I first contacted you for help, it was because our dogs were becoming aggressively dangerous.

We’d tried a number of things to resolve the problems, but it was getting worse. We were worried we might have to put one of our dear dogs down if we couldn’t find the solution quick.

They’d go insane barking and trying to attack when anyone came over. That would escalate into bloody fights and bites, bloodying them and us when we tried to stop them.

Well, I am delighted to report that we had the UPS guy drop off a box on our front porch this afternoon. I asked Gypsy and then Roxie to go to their “place” and they both did (Roxie needed a bit of encouragement).

I then opened the door, brought in the box, and set it on the floor. In the mean time, they are both just sitting on their “place”.

I asked Gypsy to “come” to sniff the box, which she did and walked away.

I then asked Roxie to “come” to sniff the box, and she did. Without any barking or anxiety this whole time!!

I know it sounds like a small thing, but I was so proud of my little girls!

Yesterday was the one year anniversary of my Forever Dog, Satin’s passing. I have successfully moved my clinic this summer. AND my health has received a Miracle! NO more cancer of the bone marrow! My dogs, Dutchess, Zoey and Zena are all doing fine. I cannot tell you how much you have changed my life and my dogs, and how I have become alpha once again. Thank You!
