Calming Canine Training and Behavior Solutions

Tracy Kral, CCDT Is great. We had just gotten our 3 month old puppy in December. It was very clear after the honeymoon period was over the my wife and I were in over our head. The constant barking at all hours of the night and no luck in house training her it became very clear that we needed help. During one of our walks in the Neighborhood we met another new puppy owner who gave us Tracy Kral contact information. We knew after the first meeting she would be the one to help us. She came into our home and quickly bonded with our dog. Then she interviewed us to get to know what out experience and expectations were without and judgments. She helped us create a safe home for our dog by giving us a routine to follow(which was a life changer) and taught us hope to interact with our dog in a peaceful positive and nurturing way. Since then we have seen a positive change in our dog. She follows commands is friendly with the people and dogs she meets on our walks. I really believe that Tracy help understanding and our and the puppy’s behavior has helped my wife and I train our dog to be a healthy member of our family.

Tracy is incredibly passionate, effective, and warm. After we’d had a pretty disheartening experience with another trainer, we found Tracy to be everything we needed and more. Couldn’t imagine having the incredible dog we have today without her guidance, teaching, and support. Firstly, she was so validating and compassionate (with us and our pup!) about what had felt so off for us about the previous trainer we’d met. Also, she was clear and direct about her approach and training philosophy. So we immediately felt understood, like our goals were her priorities. And we also knew what we’d be doing and why which was exactly the reassurance we needed as first time dog owners. Tracy was so kind and playful with feedback too! She created an environment where we felt like we were learning. It was genuinely so empowering at a time when we felt helpless with our 3 month old puppy. Our puppy made progress every single session and we felt equipped with the instructions we needed to practice with her. After only a few sessions, our puppy could: sit, lay down, stay for extended periods, ”leave it” with things she shouldn’t eat, “drop it” with things she shouldn’t eat, go into her crate on command (and be happily wagging her tail about it), and was totally potty trained. When we’ve brought our dog to meet other dogs, people are amazed how gentle, friendly, and smart she is. We could not have gotten here without Tracy. Don’t hesitate! She is exactly what you and dog need and deserve!! Thank you Tracy!!!!

Tracy is the absolute best!!! She is working with my two Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies and they LOVE HER! Her positive rewarding training is amazing, she makes it look so simple! She is fun and very interactive with them and she makes it so enjoyable. I'm so glad we found Tracy and so happy to know that she boards also! Would not even consider leaving them with anyone else! Thank you Tracy for helping us with our boys and do so in such a caring manner means so much! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
