Bringing Toby home to work with me as a therapy dog in an elementary school was exciting—but also overwhelming. I’ve always loved dogs, but I had zero experience as a handler, and the learning curve was steep.
Aly and the Insider Community made all the difference. I ask a lot of questions, and they met me with constant encouragement, wisdom, and practical advice—never once making me feel like a burden.
When our family faced an unexpected tragedy shortly after Toby came home, they showed up with compassion, support, and genuine care—helping us navigate a very hard season.
Toby is thriving, I’m growing, and we’re becoming a strong team—thanks to Aly’s Insider Community. We’re forever grateful.
