  • “Sending our standard poodle Bonnie to Tiffany was hands-down the best decision my family has ever made for our dog!! Bonnie needed a manners makeover—she would get riled up around other animals and houseguests, was impossible to walk, snuck food off the table when nobody was looking, tore up toilet paper, and had become a bit of a nuisance. By instilling some structure and routine during her board and train program (and teaching us several skills through videos and calls) Tiffany unlocked Bonnie’s full potential and vastly improved our relationship with her. Bonnie has been such a joy since coming home and we’ve all been reaping the rewards. I highly recommend Tiffany to anyone who wants to improve their relationship with their dog. We will definitely be coming back if we ever add another dog to our family. She’s amazing!!!”

  • "5 stars does not give justice to the dedicated work, guidance and love that Tiffany has provided for our family. While she helped tremendously with Jack's "state of mind", I am certain that she actually helped Jack's people (us) more! Tiffany was consistent in her approach and communication, providing structure for Jack to thrive and learn new skills all a while, walking us through his journey. Daily updates gave us insight into the dog we knew Jack could be. Her responses to all of our questions also allowed us to learn side by side with Jack."

  • "For the Love of Dog has been a game changer for me and my dogs. I am so happy I sent Rocko and Jojo to Tiffany's board and train program. One of my dogs is incredibly leash reactive while the other one struggled with being nervous and lacking confidence. Tiffany addressed each dog's needs and behaviors and individualized their training based on that. I got daily updates via texts, pictures, and videos about both of my dogs. Tiffany would include what they had been working on that day and how to implement that at home. Tiffany focuses on the mental state of the dogs she works with to understand why they're acting the way they do. Even now that both of my dogs have been home for almost two months, Tiffany is still there to support me and answer any questions I have about different situations that arise. She happily troubleshoots whatever is going on and is always so quick to respond. Their group pack walk is an awesome opportunity to get your reactive dog out on a walk without fear of judgement and surrounded by understanding owners who are trying to do the same. Tiffany and Dwayne are an awesome team who are passionate about helping dogs and their humans. Thank you!!!"

  • "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!"

  • "Our dog completed a board and train and we were completely astounded. We followed Tiffany for a few months on social media before a consultation to watch and get a sense we’d align. She did a great job with our pup AND us. We went in prepared to change as people in addition to the change for our dog and Tiffany guided all of us. I loved the updates along the way and our dog will be going back this summer for a stay and play while we are on vacation. Can’t recommend enough especially when you need a trainer that understand reactive or easily triggered dogs. EDIT: Adding more to my review now that Dolores has returned from her time with Tiffany. We were so fortunate to have completed a board and train with Tiffany so we could take advantage of additional offerings. Other boarding was instigating some of our pup’s old behaviors. We didn’t want to back pedal or give our dog a bad name since her breed often gets a bad rap. During her week stay we received updates and Dolores returned as a happy doggo with a little tune up. I say over and over again going with FTLOD was one of the best decisions we made as a family."

It’s time your furry best friend plays nice so you can fully relax and enjoy them in every way.

Helpful answers to common questions:

  • We are balanced trainers using all four quadrants of operant conditioning in our training and approach each family with an individualized curriculum keeping their goals in mind.

  • Unlike a training facility or boarding kennel, your dog will sleep safe and soundly in the comfort of our home!

  • Dogs actually have not changed much. We as humans have increased our expectations, asking our dogs to be a more integrated part of our lives. Due to that we continue to further our education in not just training dogs but how to coach humans to communicate effectively with their best friends.

  • Consider how busy you are. Do you have time to work with your dog? No matter which option you choose, you must have availability in your schedule to meet your dog halfway.

  • The most important part of this process is that you feel confident to incorporate a new routine. Depending on the program, I’ll meet with you for a follow-up lesson, a comprehensive manual, and clear instructions on how to keep your dog accountable.

  • Yes! We are small enough to accommodate unique meals such as raw diets and other specialized eating requirements.
