TACT K9 Handling

Martina and her team are a god send. I rescued my first large breed dog six years ago. Never owning a dog over 20 lbs, having an 80 lb dog is a completely different thing. I was blessed to find her and start my pup early (4 mos old). He is the most balanced and happy pup. I get compliments all the time on how well trained he is. That is a testament to Martina and her team. Six years later I still have my pup involved in her socialization and community events. As she always says “always be training”. I have also referred her to several friends with dogs of all shapes and sizes and everyone is so thankful to have found her,

We had our first training session with Donut, our 4-month-old Australian Shepherd, and were very impressed. He started the session barking and reacting to everything, but by the end he was able to participate in a pack walk, work around other dogs, and focus much better. We’ve owned Australian Shepherds before, but every dog is different, and the trainers did a great job explaining Donut’s behavior and showing us how to work through some of his reactivity and leash-pulling. They were patient, knowledgeable, and made the training both productive and enjoyable. We know training is a journey, but after just one session we already saw progress and left feeling encouraged. We’re excited to continue working with Russ, Martina, and Brandon as Donut grows. Thank you for helping us build a strong foundation!
