Kim Traugott, DVM I can't thank you enough for your help with training Tucker. As a veterinarian with a special interest in behavior, I am impressed with your techniques and expecially your ability to truly understand what dogs are thinking! Please don't hesitate to use me as a reference as I will continue to wholeheartedly recommend Canine Coaching! Pam Sprosty, LVT I've had dogs my whole life-this is my second dog experience at Canine Coaching. I've taken classes elsewhere, but will never go anywhere else again because this is the best positive reinforcement type of training and the absolute best way to bond with my best friend, my dog.

| Carol Rost & Theo/Border Terrier Dottie Zaris was referred to me by our veterinarian Dr. Howard Gittelman. My experiences with her were for Theo,my first “terrorist” terrier. We started w/private lessons and she was enthusiastic, funny, supportive and gave me invaluable techniques and advice for problems like puppy nipping, walking on leash, and general misbehavior. We’ve continued w/a number of group classes with (Puppy K, Basic Obed, Advanced Obedience and Great Outdoors) which are always informative, helpful, and FUN! Whether alone or in a group, both Dottie and Pat are professional, highly qualified and knowledgable and approach their training in a sensitive, ethical, results- oriented, and fun manner. And always address problems/ challenges with the owner’s and dog’s best interests in mind.I hope to continue a relationship with them over my dog's life. Jackie White&Apricot/American Mastiff When we first brought Apricot into our family she was 8 weeks old and a mere 20 pounds. Knowing what she would soon become, I immediately scheduled private lessons at our home with Dotty. From the very beginning everyone got involved in the training, me, my husband and our three kids. For the past fifteen months Apricot has constantly been enrolled in Canine Coaching classes, Puppy Kindergarten, Basic, Intermediate and Advanced obedience training and now in the ‘real life’ class, the Great Outdoors. Dotty and Pat have always been caring, kind and professional. They are even available by phone; I have spoken to them more than once from vacations when unexpected dog issues have arisen. Dotty and Pat have helped us with far more than the typical sit, down, come, stay. They view the world through a dog's eyes. Whether it is explaining why she occasionally panicked while walking (sensitivity to trucks and motorcycles), nipped at her sister’s feet (fuzzy slippers look like chew toys), refused to walk steps (fear of falling), they have given us the skills to help her become a balanced, happy dog. Today, at 130 pounds and growing, Apricot is a well behaved, loving, kind, caring member of our family. They helped us navigate through the challenges of puppyhood with flying colors. We can’t wait to continue into the future! P.S. If Apricot could talk she would tell you that Dotty and Pat are two of her absolute favorite people in the whole world and they always have the absolute best treats in the whole world even when they are the exact same ones that are in her mother’s pocket.
