Success Stories

Balzac, 2 year old male Rough Dachshund / Owner, Pierre Lemay & Doris
Pierre and Doris first contacted PUP seeking help with Balzac’s fear issues. Balzac had always been on the shy side but had grown increasingly nervous going on walks in the city and around new people. Even the company of his very social and precocious little brother, Clovis, was not enough to lure him out of his shell. As the owners of a successful urban salon and spa, Pierre and Doris wanted to enjoy the luxury of taking their boys to work with them free from the mounting stress and frustration of watching Balzac panic and shy away from clients. Following a course of intensive training sessions and rehab program, Balzac is a changed dog. He is much more confident and more at ease on walks. Everyone at the salon enjoys a more sociable and trusting pup.
A message from Pierre & Doris:
"It is such a relief to see our young dog come out of his shell. Zoe and her team, with their quiet assurance, consistency and determination have succeeded in giving Balzac his confidence back. It would have been a shame to see him live with the burden of his insecurities when there was so much potential for a long and wonderfull life full of love and companionship. Now, he is back on track and enjoying the world around him! Thanks to Pup!"
