I have trained with Tiffany for about 11 years now across 4 different states as I moved with my dogs. I stayed with her during those transitions thanks to online learning platforms and BECAUSE she continuously evolves. There are some hard truths that one must know if you are going to train with Tiffany. 1. Dogs are a reflection of US, their human. 2. Dogs are opportunistic predators. Heck you could just say opportunistic. They take advantage of us daily and have us pretty well trained. Tiffany will give you the framework and tools to improve your life with your dog for the long haul. If you would rather just be told what you think you already know and have it sugar coated, then this probably isn’t the trainer for you. If you think the TikToks of people getting in their dog’s face while it growls is super cute, putting PB on your forehead for a nail trim is smart or let young children crawl all over dogs is ok, then this probably isn’t the trainer for you. If you are open to the truth, truly want to improve your relationship with your dog and gain solid obedience, this is the place for you. If you believe training is for the life of the dog - this is the place for you. It doesn’t mean you have to be perfect and prepare your dog for an obedience competition. But it does require an open mind to see the value and joy having a trained dog brings into your home.

THE BEST DOG TRAINER AROUND!! I have had the pleasure of training with Tiffany for over 10yrs and with 3 different dogs. She truly has a gift of being in tune with the dog and it's behavior. I have seen her turn dog/people aggressive dogs into a calm, confident dog that can be around other dogs and people. What I love about Tiffany is she never stops learning. She is a bucket full of knowledge and information, anywhere from nutrition to grooming and many other areas. The thing with Tiffany is she cares so much about the dog getting the right kind of training so it doesn't get frustrated or confused, she tells you how to do it. She is blunt and direct with her instructions, all in a caring way, but if you can't take constructive criticism without getting offended, then this isn't the place for you. But I can tell you from years of experience with Tiffany, she is one of the most compassionate and caring people I have ever met. You can truly tell she cares about your dog and wants to help you have a great relationship with them. I do and will always refer people to Tiffany.

I have been training with Tiffany on and off for almost a year now, and can not recommend her enough! I originally went to her with my adult APBT mix, JuneBug, to refine her okay-ish obedience. I had worked a bit previously with others who simply ran us through exercises with a ton of treats and no critique as to what we were doing wrong. While it did help her build confidence working out and about in different places around dogs and people, that is really all we gained from it - along with a dependence on food to work. I wanted to LEARN. Once I got to Tiffany, she immediately had me take my prong collar off of my dog and get rid of the treats. We saw improvement in just a single session with better leash handling (AKA clearer communication to my dog). However, I then told her at the end that I also had a 4-month-old bully mutt puppy at home. She (rightfully so) asked me what I was doing here with my relatively well-mannered adult dog, and had me bring in Paco Taco instead at the next session. Realistically, he hadn't left my house much aside from going to work with me as a groomer. We arrive at her facility, puppy in tow, and as we are standing having a conversation several feet apart, he is pulling at the end of his lead towards her, screaming his head off like the self-entitled jackass he was, all because he couldn't get to her to be pet. I realized at that moment she was right, and he should have been here months ago. Within the first few sessions, I saw DRASTIC improvement in him. His basic obedience was more solid than the average adult dog, he heeled beautifully on leash, and he got many compliments from people in public. To this day, one of the best compliments I've received was when he had to go to the emergency vet at 6 months old, and multiple veterinary staff members told me how wonderful he was during his overnight stay and care. That he listened to commands, he was easy to handle, and that I "must work with him a lot". We train our dogs not only for us, but for everyone who has to interact with them - vets, groomers, boarding facilities, trainers, friends and family, etc. Though I personally have been slacking the last several months, I have gained SO much knowledge over my time with Tiffany and plan to dive back in head-on this spring with Koehler. As a person, I have massive respect for Tiff as she is ALWAYS continuing her education, even 20 years into this. So many trainers are stuck on one way of doing things, with their way being the only correct way, and they do the same thing for years and years. She attends seminars, is constantly reading, and working with other trainers around the world to expand her knowledge. She is blunt, to the point, and her priority is the betterment of your relationship and life with your dog through structure, rules, and boundaries. She is not the trainer for "fur mommies". She is not the trainer for those who cannot accept the fact that these issues with our dogs are due to HUMAN error. She is the trainer for those who want to do the work, make the changes necessary, have fun, and live the best life they can with their dogs. I will never stop recommending her. Side note, her current retail space is amazing. I can not WAIT for her to expand into Fetched-Up!
