Tasha is so experienced, kind, and knowledgeable. Truly the best person to trust your pup with!
Tasha(owner) is the most passionate understanding animal lover I've ever met. She actually speaks the language of( Dog) . If anybody can teach your dog obedience it's her. You won't be disappointed.
Tasha was excellent working with my high energy dog Luke! She is very knowledgeable about what to do and what not to do while training. I personally learned so much as well as Luke. I highly recommend Tasha with Essential Dog Training!
Tasha at Essential Dog Training is excellent. She has the patience to train your dog. Maureen and l recently rescued a yellow lab from Alabama, and Tasha took on the job. Max is still a puppy but now understands all basic commands. Thanks Tasha for all the help.
