Trisha is the BEST!!! We have a reactive male pit/mix. He is reactive to people and dogs. Day one she couldn’t even be close to him without him showing his butt.

Trisha is the BEST!!! We have a reactive male pit/mix. He is reactive to people and dogs. Day one she couldn’t even be close to him without him showing his butt. Yesterday we walked down town Crystal River, side by side with her male dog. In a months time she has helped us give our dog a life outside of his home again and I couldn’t be more grateful. We had been through trial and errors with other trainers and methods and I can promise you I didn’t see a change until we started working with DawgPhonics!!!!
You couldn't ask for a better trainer. Our first training day with Trisha showed how fear reactive our dog really was. It was kind of disheartening to be honest.

You couldn't ask for a better trainer. Our first training day with Trisha showed how fear reactive our dog really was. It was kind of disheartening to be honest. But by our third training day she had us in home depot learning how to be confident in new situations. And, as we worked more, both our dog, and us, got more confident. Now we can walk him past people less than a foot away without him reacting. Dogs need a little more space but training is ongoing and we look forward to the same results. I am so happy and grateful we reached out. Trisha is wonderful to work with and it is so obvious she loves her job.

From the minute we met Trisha, our puppy loved her and we felt very comfortable with her approach to training our fur baby Dalmatian. We have been working together with her for almost 3 weeks now and have seen much progress with our girl. She is continuing to learn and is working towards sitting, heel, and to not bite or take things she shouldn't, like socks and cords!! Do not be afraid of the e collar. We never thought we would use this, but Trisha teaches you how to correctly use it and not abuse it. It is like a tap to just get your dogs attention. It does not stay on continously. She has also trained my husband and myself on how to behave as humans!! We would recommend Trisha 110% because her love for her job exudes through her interactions with her furry clients. Her professionalism is amazing as she is always available to help in between sessions. Call and you will be satisfied and so happy you did 😊 💗.
We had the best experience with Trisha at Dawg Phonics. She taught us how to confidently train with our Jack Russell, (who is ALL terrier) and gave us the tools to continue working with our pup after graduation. I also feel like we’ve made a lifetime friend who truly loves her calling and her students… I highly recommend her!
