Working alongside/with Tyanna was nothing short of incredible! My partner and I did the 6 month at home training with Tyanna and we cannot recommend it enough. We have two dogs at home, one is a 6+ year old and the other is a hound dog mix, both a lil stubborn. With Tyanna’s guidance and understanding, we have a whole new dynamic to our home! Not only did she guide us in teaching/training our dogs, us as dog parents learned just as much from her for our own knowledge base. Tyanna was paramount in us understanding how different our two girls are and how we can look at and ask for interactions differently. The in home package was our first choice because our more mature pup had some business when we had guests over and now our entire household can comfortable hosting guests. One takeaway for us, the humans in training/as the dog parents, that I hold dear, is how to say “no” when it is not an ideal situation for our pups (getting pets on walks/guests who may be pushy when greeting them in our home) as that is something that truly bothered one of our pups. We will continue to support Scholars in Collars, thank you thank you, Tyanna!! Cutie pic of our pups with one of hers to work on interaction/neutral sniffs at the beach😊

5/5

The training “Drink with your Dog” was fun and I’m hoping it will lead to a calmer dog when I’m out! Tyana is the best trainer I have ever had! She has worked very hard with both my dogs to make them calmer and not so excited. She is very experienced and shows her love for each dog she is working with Would highly recommend Scholars in Collars to anyone looking for training for their dog!
