Tiffany's board and train was the second best investment I've made (after getting Mana, of course!) It has been 3 weeks since Mana returned and his improvements with reactivity are like night and day. If you have a reactive dog, you are well aware of the sacrifices and limitation you and your dog face each day, so to a certain extent I wanted this training for my sake as well. More context on the board and train:

- Communication: she gave DAILY updates 6 days a week with videos updates and material I need to understand Mana better. We have still been in contact even 3 weeks later because she offers lifetime support after boarding is complete.

- Psychological approach: I really like how her training has a huge focus on the way dogs think and feel. It felt more personalized and Mana is much more receptive to it.

- Community: She offers pack walks that I am so glad we were able to participate in. Before Mana's boarding, we wouldn't be able to be anywhere as close to other dogs as you see in the video.

Overall, we have a new found freedom that I haven't felt in years and I couldn't have done it without Tiffany ?

It took a while for me to find Tiffany but I am so grateful I did. My little bug is a ball of energy and developed some bad habits that became super disruptive in daily life. Although I was hesitant about a board and train, this was the best thing I could have done and would do it again with Tiffany and her family in a heartbeat.

The communication was beyond expectations. Not only did I get multiple daily updates but Tiffany understands the needs of the humans just as much as the dogs (and she really gets dogs - just ask her about Ducky’s disdain for the snoot loop). She took the time to respond to all of my questions, no matter how ridiculous, and helped to set me up for success with Ducky.

The best part for me is that Tiffany is just as engaged since I took Ducky home as she was when she had her. I do not feel abandoned or left to my own devices. I can, and do, still ask questions whenever I need some extra help. This wasn’t a quick fix and I’m so glad I have the ongoing support.

I am so thankful that I found For the Love of the Dog, Tiffany and her family and cannot say how happy with the experience and would recommend them without hesitation.

We recently boarded and trained our dog with Tiffany and the experience was fantastic! Our dog completed four weeks of training, split into two sessions due to her heat cycle, and we saw huge improvements in her behavior after each session.
Tiffany was always easy to get in contact with, promptly answering any questions we had and providing regular updates during the training sessions. Even after the board and train program, she’s been incredibly helpful, even through messages, offering guidance whenever we had questions or concerns. Though we’ve had a few slip-ups, having access to private coaching lessons will definitely help us stay on track and continue improving. She has helped us view owning a dog differently, such as advocating for our dog when needed. Her dedication and care truly made a difference in our dog’s behavior and in our overall experience. We highly recommend Tiffany to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and accessible dog trainer!

We came across Tiffany on instagram and are SO thankful we did! Between community pack-walks and her low cost monthly training videos (and group zooms!) we have seen a huge improvement with our reactive dog. It wasn't until we made the decision to do a half-day training where we really saw a difference.
Our dog was easily the spiciest dog there, and I felt so much shame and embarrassment at his first reaction at the group class. Tiffany's ability to create a welcoming judgement-free environment in which we could learn, practice, 'fail', and try again, gave me the space to really learn how to work through this with my dog: managing my own emotions to help him with his emotions. By the end of the day his body language was loose and comfortable, and the next pack walk we saw a difference. Previously, we trailed the group by 20+ yards; this time we walked side-by-side with another dog.
Tiffany (and Dwayne!) really set us up for success and helped to build a solid foundation between our dog and ourselves.

Our experience with Tiffany was absolutely transformative for both our family dog and ourselves. We adopted a lively puppy at seven weeks, and despite attending several puppy training classes, we were struggling with behavioral issues like hyperactivity, jumping and destructive tendencies. At 11 months old I had given up hope until I heard about board and train.

Tiffany came highly recommended online and from our initial consultation we understood why. Not only did she expertly train our dog, but she also patiently coached us, instilling the confidence we needed to continue training at home. Her communication skills were exceptional; she explained techniques clearly and tailored her approach to suit our family's needs.

What sets Tiffany apart is her ongoing support. The training didn't end after our month long boarding; she remains available to answer questions and provide guidance whenever we need it.

Thanks to For The Love of Dog our once hyperactive and mischievous puppy has transformed into the most loving and well-behaved companion. We couldn't recommend Tiffany more highly for anyone seeking effective, supportive, and comprehensive dog training.

Tiffany did the best job helping our pitbull meet the needs of his breed to lessen his prey drive. The amount of time she put in with him to help him live happier and healthier is priceless. If you’re looking for a dog trainer that will love and care for your dog and create a foundation that can easily be duplicated at home she’s the one!

If you’re looking for someone to work with your dog and you who will genuinely care, you found the right person in Tiffany. My German Shepherd Tali went for a training retreat in March for leash reactivity and better walking manners. I got updates and coaching videos every single day (except Sundays 🙂 ) about Tali’s progress and how I could keep those skills up at home. Tali learned place, walking manners, sitting politely under a table, and to look at me for guidance when she saw another dog outside instead of barking. Tiffany investigated the source of Tali’s big feelings and taught me all of the tools I need to keep all of her new skills fresh. Her barking at other dogs has decreased immensely, and she is responsive and delightful to take on a walk. We can go on pack walks and sit on a patio around other dogs! It was so reassuring to hear about Tali’s training every day, and it is still reassuring to know that I can follow up with Tiffany for any training questions in the future. I would recommend Tiffany to anyone who loves their dog and wants a training partner for life!
