Testimonials

Faith is able to take dogs that are behaviorally challenged and...almost miraculously turn those dogs into acceptable good citizens. Her mind is quick, always active, and she finds solutions for difficult situations, sometimes going "outside the box," which results in a high rate of success in training dogs, and people, who work under her guidance.

Faith has established a loving leadership rapport with our dogs and a professional, caring relationship with our family. We have worked with several accomplished trainers over the past two years who teach similar principles, but only Faith has taken the effort to apply these principles to our unique lifestyle. She is the only trainer we feel understands our situation and our training needs. We wholeheartedly recommend Faith Boyle.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for everything you did for our family. All of us, not just Buddy, needed a training tune-up and that is exactly what you provided. Not only do we see considerable positive changes in Buddy's behavior, but more importantly, he is a happier and more fulfilled dog in our home. You and your expertise were a true gift to our family as a whole, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Please feel free to use our names as a reference. We cannot say enough wonderful things about you and your services.

It's been a while and I just wanted to touch base with you.... After the loss of Bella things were very hard, and had it not been for the excellent behavior of Evo it would have been much harder. I just wanted to take the time to thank you for the help you gave us in training him, the effort you put in with Bella, and for the obvious emotional connection you had with her until her passing. I have enclosed a picture of our new baby for you to see. While she has not been as easy as Evo was, the skills you taught us have proven to be a life saver. On behalf of Nubia, Mark and myself, I just wanted to take the time to thank you.

I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate you going over and beyond what I'm sure are your normal job tasks with trianing. I feel like you're a family member to us with the ways you take the extra time to show you care. You are one amazing woman, with an amazing amount of compassion, love, and patience in what you do! Elizabeth, the dog walker, said Tuaca was the best Boxer she has ever walked and was totally impressed!

Last year we adopted a dog, Luna, and when we took her home she was a maniac -- destroying our furniture, kitchen cabinets, and yard. By the end of the week I was ready to return her, but my son and daughter had already become attached to her. I called the shelter for a referral to a dog trainer, and you kindly referred me to Faith Boyle at Instant Karma Dog Training.... Luna has recently graduated from her training program and our household is much more at peace. Faith has been our dog whisperer, and has really helped us understand Luna and her needs better, as well as how to teach her what is acceptable behavior and what is not for this household. The dog is much happier and so is our family. My family and I would be pleased to recommend Faith to any shelter dog and their people.

I was referred by one of your (shelter) volunteers to Faith Boyle for dog training. Not only was she a delight, but after only ONE session, she changed our dog's behavior! Thank you, Faith -- we truly love our dog even more!

On May 13, 2009 we adopted Bentley, our fantastic new child, and on May 18, we hired Faith Boyle. Although we have had many pets we were not sure of ourselves with such a large pup. Faith was amazing as she taught us everything necessary for his graduation of Puppy 101/Basic Obedience Training. She answered every question with a positive unique solution. This was true from the beginning when we first met Faith and she ultimately became a wonderful, great friend to Bentley. But most importantly, we hired Faith to teach us how to train Bentley. She did just that. We now have the confidence to raise Bentley into an awesome dog. If not for Faith, our household would be turned upside down. Thanks again for the recommendation of Faith Boyle and Instant Karma Dog Training. Fantastic person. Fantastic dog trainer.

Your work with Cammy was truly spectacular and she really did transform into another well-behaved, yet still spunky dog. Thank you! The shelter is truly blessed to have you as a volunteer. You are amazing!

You did great work with my girls.... Really Faith, you have such a way with dogs and I am happy you joined us on our journey.

Hi Faith - Just had to give you the good news! Yesterday and today, I put the collar on Cookie for her early AM weekend walk and she ran to the car almost pulling me over. She stood by the side of the door and jumped in. She loves where we go for the walk and can't wait to get there!!! I am so happy just wanted to let let you know. We send our hugs and woofs!!

I just wanted to sincerely thank you for your work with Buck... this dog has really proven that we can hope beyond our physical resources to witness miracles. He now has such a broader base of placement opportunities thanks to [his foster parents and] you. Thank you so very much!
