Tracy is kind, communicative, and her methods work. Money well spent.
Tracy is the best! My 6 month Australian Shepherd and I first took her group class. It felt like a private instruction. Immediate results. Sit, Stay, Come, Wait, Leave it. Done, done, done, done, done. She’s a dog whisperer. She taught us how to properly respect our dog and how to earn respect in return. Our home is a happier place because of her. We followed up with private sessions because of a skateboard and vacuum issue our dog was having and again with Tracy’s instruction…problem solved.
Tracy has been AMAZING to work with. We’ve done one-on-one training at our home several times as well as participated in the group classes more than once. I highly recommend both! My dog and I have truly loved our time in each setting. Tracy creates a welcoming and warm community for both the humans and the dogs in the classes. She’s also incredibly knowledgeable about the ways dogs learn. She is so clear and committed. Most importantly, my dog, who is afraid of a lot of people, sounds, and even the wind, LOVES Tracy too. She gave me hope that I could train him too and get my little guy more confident and happy! I am so grateful to Tracy! My family adopted a puppy during the beginning of the pandemic. We thought it would be nice for our current rescued chihuahua terrier dog to have a buddy. But, adding an additional furry family member posed many challenges, especially during a time when little socialization options were available. Thank you, Tracy!
Our dog, Moon, had a rough life before my husband and I adopted him, and because of this, he came in with some behavioral issues. One of them was EXTREME anxiety and reactivity towards dogs, humans, squirrels, birds, and pretty much anything that lives and moves. My husband and I tried all the TikTok advice for reactive dogs we could find, but instead of Moon getting better, he was getting progressively worse. It came to the point that I was afraid to go outside for a walk with him, because he would react to dogs so badly, that he would start flying on the leash. At that point, we contacted Tracy, cause we couldn’t take it anymore. Tracy, the angel sent from the heavens, met with us, gave us her INVALUABLE tips, and within 3 days, yes 3 DAYS!!!, Moon’s behavior shifted 180*. We’re about 2 months in now and Moon can walk past a dog on the same side of the sidewalk, he can sniff butts with other dogs, my husband and I can meet with friends that Moon doesn’t know without him throwing a fit, we can go to a dog park and have him play with other dogs. I can’t put in words how grateful I am for Tracy and her magic. If you have any issues with your dog, don’t walk- RUN to Feet & Paws to get the best help possible! 100/10 would recommend!
Tracy is a godsend! We adopted our 4-year-old Buddy Boy (a wheaten) from a breeder who kept him outside on a filthy dog run. Once we cleaned him up and got rid of his fleas, we realized he was an escape artist. He jumped over our fences (which are now higher). He even climbed trees to get out (those branches have been pruned). Scariest of all, he was terrible with my grandchildren. I was terrified we’d have to give him back. After working with Tracy, I can safely say he’s the sweetest, best dog I’ve ever had. Not only did Feet & Paws train him, Tracy trained me too! She was gentle (but firm) and patient, and she always left me with a hard copy of that day’s lesson; it’s also on her website. It was so helpful to Buddy and me to rely on her notes rather than my memory. Six months after our sessions, we had an issue with Buddy on the bed. In one email, she told me how to fix it and sent me backup info. It worked and we’re all sleeping soundly again. I can’t say enough about Tracy James and Feet&Paws.
We are in our second class with Tracy and couldn’t be happier with our experience. We look forward to our class every week. Tracy is great with the dogs (and the owners) and has given us so much useful advice during class, on top of the behaviors she teaches. We love the location in the park and have seen such a difference in our dog by having him practice in a distracting environment. So glad we found Tracy and would happily sign up for any classes she offers!
Our eight-month-old golden retriever Ander and us (his dads) have been attending group classes with Tracy and have all acquired very useful behavioral, body language, and positive reinforcement practices. Our pet has learned his name, come, sit, and other commands with the help of Tracy’s guidance. Tracy explains the fundamental commands for the dog and parents with ease. For example, less is more. She is patient and stays with you until she knows you have a clear understanding — and is as confident in YOU as you should be in your pet.
Tracy’s group classes are fun but very educational, and the outdoor group setting adds an extra challenge for practicing the basics with my dog. I can’t wait for the next round of classes!
Tracy is fantastic! We took her intro training group class and had her over for private training as well to address our dog’s fear of being in the car. I don’t know where we’d be without her. Our pup has learned a ton and so have we. And we all have a lot more confidence and capability now to keep learning! We would definitely recommend for new pup owners and anyone who wants to deepen their relationship with their dog.
We always have such a great time at class. My dog and I take Tracy’s fitness class whenever we can. It’s such a brilliant idea: my dog gets to run around and get lots of energy out (always the plight of the dog owner), and I get a great work out on top of everything too. The biggest thing holding me back from exercising was having to leave my dog at home, problem solved!
Tracy is an experienced and thoughtful personal trainer. She tailors my workouts to fit my needs while adding variety and fun to our sessions. Her instructions are clear and exercises highly effective. She makes me feel cared for, supports me in my goals, and motivates me to continue training. I have benefited greatly from her expertise and dedication.
Tracy is very intuitive and knowledgeable with dogs. We took a beginning class with our recently adopted rescue pit-mix. She was able to help us stamp out our dog’s anxiety and respond to simple commands at the end of the course. Practicing consistently during the week is key. Highly recommended.
Tracy was well prepared, understanding, and considerate towards the individual dogs’ needs. Additionally, I appreciated how she was actively responsible and looked after our pack on the trail. She would politely notify people who off-leashed their dogs (of unknown disposition and training) that some of our dogs may not react well. I felt Tracy would be good at managing bad situations should they arise, and would trust her to keep the pack safe. Thank you, Tracy!
Fantastic class. I’m always looking for activities in which I can participate with my four-legged child. Tracy has a great approach, calm presence, and positive attitude. Love the balance of activities and my muscles tell me I’m getting a solid workout too. Thank you, Tracy!
We have been attending Tracy’s obedience class with our young dog since he was five months old. (2+ months). Tracy is amazing with a wide variety of dogs, patient, methodical, and has helped us in many ways, large and small. She definitely has the touch and is able to explain so many small things that need adjustment between the human and the canine. We are getting results with our rambunctious puppy and I’m grateful for her talent, kindness and helpful class. We recommend her enthusiastically.
Any attention is good attention to me and most other dogs. So, if your dog is doing something you don’t like, don’t pay attention to them.
Giving us that attention makes us want to continue doing that unwanted behavior over and over again.
Over the next three weeks, you’ll get helpful dog training tips and tutorials, fun canine and human fitness training exercises, and a collection of other healthy living guides right to your inbox 😉.
