"When I first enrolled Dixie into classes, she was scared of other dogs and would not walk on a leash. Now she is
comfortable around dogs, even large ones and she is very good at loose leash walking...I would recommend these classes to anyone. All puppies can benefit from Tracey's patience and knowledge." Lauren O. and Dixie
"This was my second time using Tracey and Puppy Adept for training and I will be back for more...She is terrific and the dogs love her, too!" Cynthia Weaver, Junie and Thunder
"My goals are very much satisfied, or at least well on their way to being -- Jimmy and Rita are coming on command (most) every time I call, and I have been phasing out food rewards for that behavior with success. The sitting/staying is going well...And the biggest issue of all, the potty training, is a big-time improvement.
I highly recommend Tracey and her training. I was pessimistic to think that my old dogs could learn new tricks, and I was plain wrong. My relationship with my dogs has grown and deepened. I am no longer irritated and angry at them -- now we all have more discipline and our family is happier. Tracey is friendly, caring and patient, with me and my dogs, and is a delight to work with. I was sad when our last session ended!"
Abby Willard, Jimmy and Rita
"The class has exceeded all expectations and has provided more useful info than any other dog training class I've attended. I can't think of anything else I'd hoped to learn--we covered all of the major points that I had wanted to cover. Tracey is a great instructor (for both people and canine. I'd recommend her highly to anyone."

"Training is positive--teaching [a] dog what she can do as opposed to cannot do." I. Krauss
"Tracey's patience was awesome! I love all the...positive reinforcement ideas. I loved your committment and devotion to our puppies" Diane
"It works!" I saw successful and quick results -- which was motivating to me (and [in] turnmotivating to Jimmy and Rita). Tracey is reallypositive and encouraging and gives lots of immediately useful suggestions and pointers. The well-written and easy-to-read handouts, which came after the session, were really helpful. First getting the individualized instruction and practice and then having the handouts as a later reference was very useful." Abby Willard, Jimmy and Rita
