Sit Happens Dog Training & Behavior, LLC

I cannot recommend Sit Happens Dog Training enough. Tina is truly amazing and has made such a positive impact not only on my dog, but on me personally as well. Her approach goes far beyond basic training — she takes the time to understand each dog and owner individually and creates an environment that feels supportive, encouraging, and judgment-free. Tina is incredibly kind, compassionate, and patient. She genuinely cares about every client she works with and provides personalized guidance that makes you feel confident and capable as a dog owner. She doesn’t just teach commands; she helps build trust, communication, and a stronger bond between you and your dog. Working with her has been such a rewarding experience, and the progress we’ve made is truly incredible. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, supportive, and deeply invested in your success, Tina and Sit Happens Dog Training are the absolute best.

Two years out, a perspective. What I received from Tina was better than just training tips in that she gave me the insight into my Pyrenees better than I think anyone could have. I call that invaluable. She taught me, above all else, the power of positive dog training and gave me the ability to connect emotionally with a very sensitive soul in my dog. Without her guidance I would have fallen back on my former old-fashioned viewpoint of dog ownership which would not have fit well with a Pyrenees. As others have said here, her humor in the classroom strips away any discomfort from newbies. She is indeed a force to behold in the dog training world! Whatever your dog situation is, I have full confidence in her ability, not only just to manage it, but to elevate your relationship with your dog to new heights. Highly recommend! Oh yeah, I must mention that her video series called “90 days to the perfect puppy” was outstanding. Anyone with a new puppy should watch this series.

Tina is an exceptional dog trainer who transformed our Luna from a nervous, unsocialized rescue to a confident, playful companion. Her intuitive approach and gentle guidance helped Luna overcome her fears through group classes and dog sitting. During classes, Tina gently built a rapport with Luna (who was suspicious of everyone), and when we needed a dog-sitter we knew that Tina was the one. We were surprised that every time Luna came back from dog-sitting with Tina, she appeared more confident and playful. I believe that this is the result of Tina carefully selecting playmates for Luna, and progressively challenging her with bigger, more energetic playmates as Luna was ready. Tina went above and beyond during our baby's arrival, providing crucial guidance in introducing Luna to our new baby. Her flexibility and care at that time were remarkable - even picking up Luna in the middle of the night during a home emergency. Thanks to Tina’s expert training, Luna now plays confidently with other dogs and has adapted beautifully to the major life changes inherent in having a new baby in the house. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I absolutely would!
