I learned from Joanne in counseling to see old patterns, I became aware of my gut saying no. I listened this time, I didn’t bite or become the victim to my old patterns. Thanks to Joanne’s sessions, I feel empowered now.

Joanne at ServiceDogPro.com provides training as part of her support that helped me to feel confident to take my PSD into places and know exactly what I need to say.

Joanne stood by me and helped me with a property manager that was asking unneeded questions about my emotional support animal. She told me exactly what to say and made me feel confident, so they didn’t refuse me.

“The PSD process was so easy, wonderful and informative. At first, I thought the whole process was intimidating, but it was so easy! My son has non-verbal autism. When he is overstimulated, he would hit himself or bang his head on the floor, but when our dog is with us, he "hugs it out" with her instead. Grocery store and therapy trips were torture, but now we can take her ANYWHERE! It's a HUGE relief!

“In an AA meeting a man hit his fist on the table and that triggered my PTSD and my dog jumped in my lap and onto my chest and then turned his head and looked at the man and he calmed down. My PSD has changed the quality of my life. Trust your dog’s responses to people.”

“It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to recommend Joanne S. Williams to help any of her patients go through the Psychiatric Service Dog Training process. I have been a patient of Joanne’s for several years as she has helped me in so many ways to overcome feelings of anxiety and depression after the tragic loss of my husband almost six years ago.”

“This last year has been so much better for me being able to take Marley as my PSD everywhere. Not only does he get me through crowds he also makes everyone smile. And people offer to help me more often because of his presence on the plane. He goes everywhere with me. Thank you so much my life has become easier because of what you have done for me.”
