There is nothing better than a dog you can enjoy life with.

We do things a little differently around here. Here’s what makes us stand out from the pack.

We are straight shooters.

After all other resources have been exhausted, sometimes we are the last chance for a family. That’s why we keep things real and operate from radical transparency. Price, scope expectations, video “pupdates” — we’re an open book and we’ll tell you it like it is.

We are not a stuffy training facility.

We understand feeling nervous about leaving your dog somewhere else for an extended period of time. That’s why we offer real-life training in a happy home and not in a volume-based boarding kennel. Didn’t I say we’re straight shooters?

We are not cringy drill sergeants.

We both know you aren’t looking for your dog to become a cadet. Nope. You just want them to stop barking during your kid’s soccer game and chill at Starbucks once in a while. We instill better behavior in your dog with a balanced approach.

A LITTLE ABOUT US

Tiffany, here — your Northern California Dog Trainer & favorite dog-enthusiast (duh) who’s about to make your life a whole lot easier.

Let me cut to the chase. As avid dog trainers, my husband and I live and breathe dog. Literally. We use our home to create an individualized training program while your dog gets to enjoy a real family atmosphere.

And the best part? After all the pool lounging, hiking trails, and family game nights, your dog’s perspective on the world improves and you get to welcome back home a new and improved family member.

What do you know — looks like we both get to live our dreams, huh?

  • “I can honestly say that Tiffany changed my life with my dog forever! Because of her, I can now walk my dog without him almost ripping my arm off or fear that he’ll run out the door or jump on guests. I now have the proper tools and mindset to continue this journey with Bane.”

    Paola M.

  • "The name of her business suits her perfectly” i’ve never met another person who loves dogs the way she does. now, i’m able to train my own dog with what she taught me, and it made my bond with him even closer."

    Carmen H.

  • "My sweet pup has just returned from a four week board and training with Tiffany and her family, and I am so happy that I found her! Throughout my whole experience with For the Love of Dog, I have had amazing support, with coaching videos, check ins, and getting all my silly questions answered. Tiffany is so knowledgeable about dogs, and really tuned into what my pups individual needs were, and how to help me understand that. For anyone struggling with their dogs behavior, or just needing a little bit of a mindset shift in your life with your dog, I highly encourage you to reach out to Tiffany."

    Sadie S.

  • "Tiffany and Dwayne are amazing!! I cannot say enough good things, we sent our 7 month old Cane Corso puppy for a three week boot camp and she returned with so many great skills that a big dog really needs. Communication was so easy and they treated our girl as if she was their own, I would highly recommend For the Love of Dog!"

    Beckie, S.

  • "Tiffany has worked wonders with my rescue! I was very frustrated with big box store training, and their inability to help with specific issues. From the first time I contacted Tiffany I knew that she was going to be to help with all my training needs. She gives you a wide variety of tools to help in training, and allows you to move at dogs own pace. She is always checking in to see how your training is going. My puppy has gained so much confidence with her training, and is so much more attentive and obedient."

    Anna, M.

  • "Best experience ever! Made my relationship with my puppy much better and taught me a a lot as well. I can’t thank you enough."

    Jan, C.

  • "I feel very lucky to have had to opportunity for my Dolce to work with For The Love of Dog! I highly recommend this program because it's unique that the dogs are worked with in a real life style rather than the typical boarding facility. Tiffany is a very kind hearted, patient and supportive person which is so important when you are working with a dog trainer. There's constant updates which provides full transparency that your dog is safe and doing well! It's well worth the money given that your dog will learn so much in only a month. I firmly believe that all dogs deserve training to be happy and healthy, and this is a great option to get you there!"

    Tricia, M.
