Christy and Ganji:  (Fall 2020)

"This class came at a perfect time for us - Ganji was nearing 18 months, so there was a gap after the Puppy Start Right and (what was the private set of lessons called, Pat?) It was perfect to build on what we learned and best of all, it was a truly fun bonding time for us. I think a picture is worth a thousand words - here is Ganji practicing his "throne" trick." (Tanya has already seen this one) If this big oaf can learn tricks, any puppy can!"

 

 

 

 

 

Susan and Puzzle: (Fall 2020)

" I'm having a blast in the tricks class. And I'm sure you've noticed that Puzzle couldn't be more enthusiastic!

It's really the most fun I've ever had with a dog!!!

And BONUS: Puzzle would rather practice spins and twirls than engage with the aggressive dog next door! What an improvement!

Re your training: (1) you really know your stuff!; (2) I like the way you identify what will work better for one dog as opposed to the other!; (3) it's really helpful that you send the list of tricks after each class."

 

 

Gillian and Ava (2 yr old mini schnauzer): (Fall 2020)

"I am so incredibly happy I saw the information on the Dog Tricks Class at Godfrey’s. Ava and I have had so much learning together. Tanya is so nice and so patient with the both of us. She has a laid back way of teaching that makes you totally at ease. Her encouragement and ability to show different ways to help Ava and I learn have been amazing. We loved the class so much that we asked if it could be extended. I highly recommend this class and Tanya for anyone looking for something fun to do with their dog."
