I used Beverly for many troubled dogs I have had in my rescue work. I also worked with her with my own dog years ago. She gives her time endlessly for all sorts of non-profits - she's the sole behaviorist for PAWS, VETSOS, Rocket Dog rescue, ShareAPet. And she volunteers many hours a week to help people and dogs in need. In my 17 years of working with shelters and rescues, I have never seen a more giving or compassionate trainer. She is always there when you need her and she is an awesome, compassionate dog person. She uses positive reinforcement as well as firmer techniques for troubled (aggressive) dogs. You can read about her methodolgy on her website. She also has given lectures and writes informative pieces for dog magazines & newsletters - all with no pay. So I wholeheartedly recommend her as a great trainer as well as a great human being.
Pros: One of the kindest, most generous people I've met.
Cons: She probably overcommits herself and is spread thin, since she has trouble saying ""no"" to dogs/people in need.
