“Tammy’s positive techniques made working with our dog feel like a game! She gave us lots of helpful advice and tools to use that were specific to our dog’s needs and personality. Thank you Tammy! ”

“Tammy worked with me my newly adopted 8 y/o mini Labradoodle, Lulu, last year and it was a delight! Lulu absolutely adored Tammy and the information she gave me was spot on. Owner follow through is very important - I slacked off on that a bit - but everything that I practiced as instructed worked so well! Tammy also went above and beyond and has kept in touch to see how Lulu is doing and offer to answer any questions.”

“Tammy Smith is a very experienced and effective dog trainer. We have used her for two of of our dogs, the most recent was this summer for our Golden Retriever puppy. She uses very intuitive and proven methods for dog training, and is very flexible to adapt training as needed, including providing at-home training. I highly recommend her!”

“We have now worked with Tammy twice; once six years ago with our very first puppy and again just this summer with the addition of our second. Each time we've contacted Tammy we were feeling overwhelmed with the demands that came with our new family members and felt we needed help. Tammy came in, and instantly we felt as if we were back in control of our lives with our new puppies. She gave us many training techniques, guided us on kennel training, and taught us how to walk our dogs with the practice of different real life scenarios. If we were having a specific issue with one of our pups and a training technique just wasn't helping the behavior, she was always ready with another idea for us to try. Her suggestions have always felt realistic and manageable, even with three children to also care for. Our dogs have learned quickly and are complimented often on their demeanor and behavior. Tammy very much understands dogs and treats them as the individuals that they are. She is patient and calm - two very important traits to have when working with puppies and their humans.”
