"I recommend O'Neal to every new puppy owner I meet. New habits and tips learned
in training affect her everyday behavior - it's much more pleasant!"
- Mary Laura Philpott
"I learned to open a path of understanding that I never knew could exist between a
person and a dog. I would highly recommend O'Neal as the ideal trainer."
- Tom Larson
"You are living proof of how a gentle hand, a caring soul and a heartfelt desire to
enhance the quality of life for these little creatures can work miracles. Angel Dog is
clearly the Harvard Graduate School of training."
- Virgil Schutze
"Lucy and O'Neal got along great and Lucy took to her methods of training perfectly.
A true animal lover - which shows in her training. I could not recommend her enough -
you and your dog will definitely benefit."
- Madalyn & Jeff Suits
Our dog is like our child. We wanted to train her and went with a major pet resort. We
found their methods shockingly brutal and ineffective. We were very pleased to meet
O’Neal.
She took our confused and unruly companion in her boarding/train program. Our dog
is now happy, trained and well-mannered. The change in her was unbelievable. We
really appreciate O’Neal’s kind, effective approach to dog training. O’Neal patiently
taught my wife and me to work with her using the gentlest of touch.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the results.
Definitely chose Angel Dog for training!
-Derek Schiller

We highly recommend Angel Dog. Our year-old retriever, Hannah, was out of control
and even after basic puppy training, we could not seem to figure out how to make her
the model dog. Our veterinarian explained that even though we had successfully
trained smaller dogs in the past, we were going to have to learn different methods with
Hannah, and he told us about O’Neal and Angel Dog.
Hannah learned much better socialization skills and appropriate house manners, and
we learned how to lead her to the behavior we want in a gentle, loving way.
We like the calm, kind approach taught by Angel Dog. Our only regret is that we did
not sign up for the program when Hannah was very young so that we could have set
the correct patterns early on. Thanks Angel Dog!

This is a letter of the highest recommendation for dog trainer O’Neal and her
company, Angel Dog. We became the proud owners of a 6 ½ week-old female
chocolate lab. For 48 hours, our pup Brownie ate, slept and behaved very calmly.
She was very intelligent and in one night the crate routine was a winner. She was very
independent. We patted ourselves on the back for making such a fine choice.
At approximately hour 49 of our ownership, our lab “Brownie”, experienced a
personality change. She began biting, not nipping. She drew blood with every
interaction. My hands, arms and legs bled daily. She was a very oral dog and this
was not only inappropriate play, I was beginning to worry if she was an aggressive
animal. She would circle me during play time and lunge and bite at me. This whole
situation worried us greatly as we have a child and children are our house daily. We
were also very disappointed because we had waited 6 years for a dog and this pup
was for our 11 year-old son.
Brownie was extremely dominant. From a litter of 12, I would bet she was top dog.
She would hold a stare and do as she pleased. Even our vet commented on her
dominant behavior as a puppy. (He has also since commented on her dramatic
turnaround.)
A close friend and fellow dog owner highly recommended O’Neal and Angel Dog. O’
Neal responded immediately and came out for a visit. Fortunately, Brownie exhibited
her worst behavior during this meeting. We started training. While I won’t bore you
with the details, I can tell you that O’Neal’s methods of training, support and bonding
with both Brownie and our family were the only reason Brownie succeeded as a
valued member of our household.
Brownie is now 9 months old. She is the perfect dog for our family. She is loving,
obedient, and plays appropriately with all children, adults and other dogs. She is a
favorite among the neighborhood families. She has bonded with our son. To see her
now, you would never believe what we experienced in her earlier months. Brownie
remain very proud, however, of her 2002 heavyweight title of “One of the Top 3
Toughest Pups to Train” awarded by Angel Dog.
I would welcome the opportunity to share our story with you and provide even more
praises for this talented, gifted woman, O’Neal.

O’Neal of Angel Dog is an excellent trainer. Her balanced approach uses a sensitive,
empathic understanding of dog psychology and behavior to structure a disciplined
and encouraging training environment for dogs and their owners.
O’Neal taught me how to communicate directly, clearly and consistently with my dogs,
Kodi and Tate. Her program focused 100% on building my understanding of what my
dogs are telling me and on how best to communicate my expectations of them. The
program uses 100% positive support and encouragement. O’Neal does not tolerate
punishment or criticism of any dog-regardless of its behavior.
O’Neal is also unnervingly intuitive; at times it seems as though she is reading a dog’
s mind-not their body language. She does the same with you. For me, her subtle
insights into my relationship with Kodi and Tate were always accurate and often
dumbfounding. She does not train your dog for you; she trains you in how to work with
your dog to create the relationship you want. You’ll be given homework to complete
before each session with O’Neal and will be held accountable for its completion.
He obvious love of her work and of dogs and her special ability to communicate with
this species make her training program special indeed. I highly recommend Angel
Dog’s service to anyone interested in building a caring, strong, cooperative,
respectful, fun and-above all-loving relationship with their pet.

Gentle hands, positive thought and a strong will are the most descriptive methods O’
Neal used in training Max.
In most popular books and the ever present “hand me down advice” from all your best
friends, all dogs can be trained or have their behavior modified. However, it seems
most of those methods were more likely based on a heavy hand an dominance,
perhaps working against a dog’s natural instincts or breaking its spirit. O’Neal taught
Max and me to work together in building a learning relationship responding to each of
our needs. My need for response and control and his need for love and respect are
equally satisfied.
O’Neal taught Max and I how to communicate through a variety of techniques that are
simple, subtle and effective building blocks in the proper interaction between my dog
and me. He learns to trust in me implicitly and I can rely on him to respond
immediately to my commands. When the two of us are in form it’s like poetry in
motion. However, when it counts, you can really expect the pet you love to stop, lie
and stay when their own life may be on the line and not just hope for the best!
Angel Dog provided the tools and training taking the relationship I have with Max
beyond what I thought. Max is attentive, eager to please, in the best spirit, doing what
he does the best: being a dog, loving it and me at the same time. All of this
accomplished with the gentlest touch and positive thought.
