SWEETIE
"The Art Of Dog changed our dog's life. We adopted a middle-aged
toy poodle with numerous health issues. As a result, he suffered
from some behavioral problems, too. Margarat initially helped us work
though some of those using flower remedies and training techniques then
later used acupressure to relieve some physical infirmities. Our groomer
summed it up best by saying that the dog was "decrepit" when
we first brought him to her. Now he appears happy, healthy and is feeling
great!" - Toby

GIDGET
"When I adopted Gidget, at 6 months of age, it was apparent she’d
been abused. She behaved one of two ways: extremely shy and nervous
or fiercely aggressive. I wanted to believe that the flower remedies
you offered would help, but it just sounded like airy-fairy, SoCal voodoo.
Yet I was desperate. With nothing to lose, I tried the customized formula
you made for her as well as the Animals’ Apawthecary Tranquility
Blend you recommended. Three weeks into her treatment, I noticed that
she hadn’t had a skirmish at our off leash park for days and had
started to enjoy playing, even with the big dogs that previously brought
out her worst behavior. Thank you for giving us a better quality of
life." - Colleen

BEAR
"Thank you for all you do for me. When I first met you ,
I was a bit nervous – but you instantly calmed me and gave me
back trust for human hands. I am a big old guy and your acupressure
therapy has help me move and feel much better. Although my humans
feed me a really good diet, you have helped them with what to add for
digestive comfort. Thank you also for teaching my mom how to work
the pressure points – I love my sessions!" - as translated
by his guardian Michele
You live on in our memories, Bear.

AJ
"Margarat: As you know, AJ has many issues having spent most of
his life in a shelter. We are happy to say that your flower essence
and acupressure work has not only helped AJ, but it has helped his big
sister, Koshi – a Katrina survivor! We’re not sure why but
we are most grateful. I’m particularly impressed with the intellectual
process and critical thinking that goes into your flower prescriptions.
As an academic, I appreciate the vast body of knowledge and thorough
research that goes into each customized bottle!
Best, Bonnie"

SUGAR
"Sugar really does live up to her name - she's as sweet as she
can be - except that she had no self-control when meeting people and
other dogs. I hired Margarat to teach me how to teach Sugar, and it
has worked like a charm. She's more well-behaved at home, actually lets
people in the house, and doesn't turn herself into a contortionist when
we meet other dogs on our walks. Thanks, Margarat - from Jean and Sugar."

MAX
When I first met Max I could see that behind the dangerous
behavior he exhibited was a sensitive soul. His past life experience
seemed to have taught him that people were not to be trusted. He'd
lash out with his teeth to protect himself with just about everyone
except his new owner, who could see the sweet dog he wanted to be.
My work with Max has been a combination of gentle behavior modification
to build his self-control and self-esteem, along with sessions of
Reiki and the consistent use of a custom flower essence remedy. The
progress he's made so far (two months as of this writing) is miraculous,
and I don't believe I could've reached this level of change without
Reiki and flower essences as part of the program. Max loves his Reiki,
and will lay down a few feet away to soak it in.
I've been able to gently touch him the last couple of weeks, and
his demeanor has changed dramatically. Rather than barking and rushing
at me when I enter the house as he used to he's quiet and welcoming,
coming over for a gentle rub. He accepts treats without ducking with
worry. His face is relaxed, as if the storm has passed.
There's still work to to be done, and continued training and management
by his owner will help Max experience more good days without stress,
which will help his body and mind heal. Although Max can still be
triggered by startling movements sometimes, we can now see that he
much prefers to be gentle and loved. When I see his smiling face today
I feel such joy!
Margarat - April 25, 2008
"What you said about Max was so great. Many thanks for feeling
that way about him. He is special and so are you for what you have
done with him. Many thanks." - Jane, Max, Gizmo, & Jake
