Traci is the most amazing dog trainer! She not only provided my dogs with tools to succeed in a human dominated world, she gave me the tools to feel more confident as a dog owner. Her pawsitive dog training, is something I feel very strong about. I loved watching my dogs succeed without being shocked with an E collar or punished. They responded to the command by keeping things pawsitive and happy. Traci’s calm demeanor while interacting with the dogs she trains as well as with the owners, is something I strive to mimic. Thank you Traci for all you have done for my dogs and myself.

Tank was fearful and reactive with both people and dogs when we adopted him. The physical and emotional scars were evidence of a very sad past. Traci helped us find the brave lover that Tank truly is. We could not have done it without her. She is amazing!

We got our puppy Bodhi at 5 mos old… there was work to create the bond and respect that was formed with his previous owner. Traci worked with our family and Bodhi in a beginner puppy class and an intermediate class. Each class had one on one time with Traci, other owners/pets and play time for the dogs. Traci’s consistent reward based style was so powerful and effective. We now have a 1 year old dog that listens to us, follows commands, hikes/runs with us off leash (in appropriate locations). We feel like Traci is a part of our family and our Bodhi is a neighborhood star! Thank you Traci for all your guidance and wisdom!!

Traci has a natural, comprehensive understanding of dogs and does a wonderful job sharing her knowledge with dog owners and families in a simple, straight-forward way that even kids can understand. She uses only positive reinforcement and makes training both a learning experience and an enjoyable activity for the dog and its people.Traci is patient and fun and full of dog behavior knowledge and training tips. She’s gotten our puppy started on the right path and we look forward to continuing our training with her!!

This Summer, Traci met with us and began working with our boxer. After about three weeks friends came to visit and immediately commented on our dog’s behavior. They wanted to know what had happened in the past month since they last visited that had made such an impact on our dog. He was so much calmer and attentive. We laughed and told them instead of discipline and getting mad at behavior we didn’t like, Traci had taught us and the dog how to replace bad behavior with good behavior we can positively reinforce. It’s so nice to have a dog who has behavior we are proud of, instead of both us and the dog having to be ashamed that he wasn’t trained to be a good member of society. Now everybody can love him as much as we do.
We’re so happy with the progress we now have a new member of the family who is in Traci’s puppy class. While he is doing REALLY well in the 45 minutes of training, he REALLY LOVES the last fifteen minutes of
“puppy socialization” and “play time”.
Traci’s approach to training is top notch, professional and friendly, and the results….they speak for themselves.

No words to describe the talent, skill and knowledge of Traci or what all happened and was covered on our 1st session with her today! We were amazed at how fast Sophie was getting everything she was teaching her. It was like magic! We learned so much from Traci we never knew before. We hope she will be part of our life with Sophie for a long time. We have daily exercises to do until we meet with her again for our next session. And Sophie bonded with her immediately!
