“Tanya is everything I hoped I would be able to find in a dog trainer and more.
I found Family Pupz through their puppy socialization classes, and knew immediately that I wanted to work with Tanya for 1:1 training with my Bernedoodle puppy Mason.
Before working with Tanya, Mason loved to eat anything/everything off the ground and jumped up on every person and dog he saw when we were out on walks. I had tried to do a bit of training myself, but quickly learned after I started working with Tanya all of the things I had been missing in my training.
Tanya took time every session to help me learn how to handle different situations, trouble shoot based on issues I was having, and then recapped both at the end of the training session in a follow up email to make sure I had all the tools I needed to be successful.
I can now bring Mason on walks without worrying that he’ll eat something he shouldn’t because he has mastered leave it and drop it, and also can walk past other dogs and people calmly! Mason has even learned some polite greeting sequences to be able to greet people in public and in my home.
I am so proud of how far he has come during our time working with Family Pupz.
Tanya is kind, caring, and compassionate, and those traits shine through in the work that she does. Each time we worked together I could tell how much she cared about helping me and Mason both achieve what we set out to do.
I am so grateful to have found Tanya, and I highly recommend working with her!
