I asked Melinda questions that we have been waiting to hear from vets for years and have had no answers. We still don’t have the answers we need but now feel comfortable not knowing after talking with Melinda. She even called our vet and did a consult to order tests to help us out! Great person to work with! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Melinda was very knowledgeable. She gave me several suggestions which were very helpful. At first I honestly didn't think they would work. But they did! She suggested keeping our cats inside for 90 days so that the cats didn't have outside smells on them. We also moved the cat boxes per her suggestion and clean them twice a day. We are now a very happy cat pee friendly environment thanks to Melinda!!

The difference in my cats is monumental! I never thought I'd be able to train my cats, I thought they were just stuck in their bad habits. They took to it in less than 30 minutes! They were excited to learn new things and all of their and bad behaviors started to diminish within two weeks. They are more enriched, engaged, and affectionate! It has been absolutely life changing! I recommend Ludar to everyone I know now.

I first met Melinda [online] via a webinar I did with a mutual friend of ours, [Melinda was an active guest participant]. Melinda then reached out to me with an idea of having me jump on a LIVE Q&A with her and her online community over on the Ludar Animal Behavior Facebook page, which I accepted and was very privileged to take part in.

Since this time Melinda has become a member of Animal Training Academy [my business] and through many other mutual friends we have got to know each other. One of my favorite things I have found out about Melinda is that she has a very curious mind and asks lots of questions. What makes this so great is her questions are guided by a strong moral compass to always wonder “how can we do things better for us and for our animals?”

Melinda is very respectful to her peers and generous in her gratitude and positive attitude.

Melinda’s Ethical approach to managing animal behavior and her strong desire to help others on their own journeys are some of the main contributors as to why you should reach out and start a conversation with her and see how she can help you J

Melinda is 100% science-based. If anyone has done their research, it's her. She's very professional and has been very educational to me. Even as an animal scientist myself there is little emphasis on behavior in formal education for management, so I am lucky to have met someone so passionate about animal behavior.

At times, my house can be complete chaos. With 2 pigs and 2 dogs, there is rarely ever a dull moment. Generally speaking, the animals coexist as well as can be expected. Other times, however, it seems the charging and the snapping and the fighting will never end. Melinda helped me to understand the complexity of animal social hierarchy and has given me an abundance of insight and has laid the groundwork for behavioral modifications to ensure a much happier household. She is extremely knowledgeable and has proven herself to be indispensable. As she lives in another state, we have always spoken online. Naturally, I was skeptical that anyone could understand my animals and their issues from a brief virtual chat but she has proven time and time again that she can understand and positively impact the behaviors of my dogs and my pigs alike, even while being 7 hours away. My favorite part about working with Melinda is that I don't feel like she is judging me as a horrible pet owner- feelings that the vet can tend to ignite. She is intelligent and understanding and she tells it to you like it is. She doesn't give you generic crap you'll find on Google, and her methods really do work.

I met Melinda as a fellow professional and was immediately impressed by her love of science and her passion for animal welfare. She is a superb educator who lives to learn and teach and puts her whole heart and mind into every case she works on, whatever the species - she is genuinely fascinated by why animals (including humans) do what they do and her dedication and kindness shine through in her work. It has been a pleasure to learn from and with her, and I would recommend anyone who has run into difficulties with their companion animal to seek out her encyclopedic knowledge, boundless intellectual curiosity and playful sense of humour. You will not find anyone more committed to helping humans understand other animals.

Not only does Melinda have the most positive attitude possible, but you can tell she really cares about what she is doing. She has more than enough knowledge on every topic, and puts her own personal money into [research] this. I could not recommend her enough. She is my ONLY go to for all of my animal needs.

Melinda has a strong passion for animals and animal sciences. She is knowledgeable, offers many tips and information on a variety of topics, and she truly cares. I am a firm believer that many animal behavior issues can be helped. If there's a problem with your pet doing 'bad' things, please consult with a professional behaviorist before making any decisions on the fate of your pet. Thank you for all the information for my kitties. I greatly appreciate it.

We met with Melinda to discuss behavioral issues we have with our cats. Our newest kitty Lil Bit is sometimes bullied by a couple of our other cats. She had some good suggestions, some of which we implemented right away. She taught me the importance of playtime with the cats, getting them to engage with each other through play. To truly get results requires consistency and I admit I'm not the most consistent. Melinda's love for animals shows in her interaction with them. If you need pet behavioral assistance, call Melinda.

Melinda was very helpful in providing me information and ways I can continue to work with my cat to help her feel less anxious. She was very professional, and it is obvious she is very compassionate about animals. I am very happy with my experience in working with her. What I liked best is that she equipped me with tools and knowledge that I can use to improve my cat's behaviors and general well being.
