“My husband and I adopted a 5 year old lab from the Denver Animal Shelter and were quickly overwhelmed when we realized she was reactive on walks (ie: she barks and lunges at other dogs). We were referred to Tanya by our vet practice and eventually worked with her through six sessions not only on our dog's reactivity, but also on her leash skills and recall. Working with Tanya was great: she taught us a variety of different set-ups/strategies to use with our dog, including counter conditioning, which is the most important thing a reactive dog owner can learn. The techniques she taught us have been a game changer for walking her, she now knows what to do when she sees another dog and she is much easier to walk. We were also able to work with Tanya's adorable dog Zippo on different structured greetings. It was wonderful to see our dog actually calmly meet another dog and walk with Zippo without having a meltdown. Besides her actual methods, which are effective and science-backed, she is also pleasant and professional to work with. After every session, we received great handouts and videos reinforcing what we'd talked about in sessions. She also offers very easy online scheduling via Calendly which was super convenient. In short, we highly recommend working with Tanya on dog training!”
