Customer Reviews
Our German shepherd, Koda, had been experiencing anxiety for a few months. Seemed scared of everything in life, was afraid to go outside alone and always had her tail tucked like she was scared. Ty and Karen were both great when they came to the house to work with her. By the end of the training session, Koda seemed more relaxed her tail was noticeably less tucked, and more relaxed. It has been about a week and Koda has shown improvement every day. She already is much less afraid to be outside and her tail is perked back up. She overall is much happier. Ty and Karen were able to show me the basics of how to work with Koda and get her back to herself. Would highly recommend them!
- Rebekah BI would recommend these guys to anybody. They're great to work with very informative. Very patient with the animals and the owners. And make sure you fully understand the training that's being provided and even provide extra videos for you to follow up with.
- Chad STy offered me and my puppy some very useful tips on potty training, feeding and crate training. There's so much contradicting advice out there that I was getting confused and so was my puppy! Ty really helped get me back on track. I feel so much better. His calm demeanor and confidence in me was very reassuring. I will be contacting him again if I have any other questions. He's awesome!
- Amy RTy is patient, knowledgeable, caring and kind. His love of canines is evident in the training he provides. We've seen a difference already and look forward to putting his advice to action with our dog moving forward! Money well spent!
- Andrea MTy and Karen just left after spending 90 minutes with my dog, Selah, my husband and me training us to be the best we can be. His gentle training methods were appreciate by us all. He offered some much needed tips and reassurances to help Selah use a soft mouth and learn to be a loving pet. We thoroughly enjoyed this training session and look to many happy years with our latest addition to our family.

Can dog training help with fear or reactivity?
Some trainers have experience helping dogs develop better responses to triggers and challenging everyday situations. Ask about the professional's experience with your dog's specific behavior. Serious aggression, significant fear, or complex behavioral concerns may require veterinary guidance or an animal behavior specialist.
