I've used 3 different AC.
One after Saber died, I found her online. I had heard about AC but didn't know Anything about how it worked, or how they charge etc. She was very expensive, and most of them are. Her name is Laura Stinchfield. I think she is credible. The answers (to SPECIFIC questions I had her ask Saber0 were so cryptic and personal, that she didn't understand what she was relaying, and thought she was getting the answers wrong, but I understood completely. Saber and I had a short hand so to speak, and she mimicked the cadence and choice of (some) words. I can DM specifics.
I'm on my way out of the house, but I want to recommend Dr. Agnes Thomas, petstellthetruth.com She is the real deal.
I found her website (I still don't know how I clicked on it, I certainly wasn't looking to throw more money down a hole, after I had just paid $250 to a different USELESS AC ) I was desperate, Meeko had been trying to kill Alfredo for over a year, and NOTHING was working to stop his behavior. I have all of this, plus Agnes successes documented at City Data. Agnes Fixed a year old, behavioral problem that had not been resolved with RX, flower essences, etc …. I had tried everything.
I didn't use Laura Stinchfield to address Meeko's behavior because I wanted an AC that specialized in problem behavior. I spoke with the (useless) one I chose and she said she could be effective AND, VERY IMPORTANT TO ME, that she could actually speak to Meeko. Then, when we began the session (a week later, she scoffed at the notion of actually being able to speak directly to an animal, her approach was just behavior modification (I had already paid someone to try that approach) I spoke with Saber, so I know it can be done, actually, he taught me to communicate back to him.
I will be happy to answer questions, discuss in detail etc ... I am just discovering that this is one the most amazing aspects of living with animals.
