What People Are Saying About Puppy & Dog Classes With Feet & Paws
Tracy has been a wonderfully patient, insightful, and inspiring teacher to our family and our newly adopted rescue pup. Our dog loves her and has been eager to learn every session we had with her. Our field trips really expanded our knowledge of how to train in public. Tracy is very attuned with the animals she teaches and we recommend her wholeheartedly!
Training with Tracy has been exceptional. My dog Honey and I started with a dog manners 101 group class, where we worked on communication, barking, and loose leash walking. Tracy was encouraging and patient and helped me become more comfortable and persistent in training. We also did private training at my apartment to help with my dog’s separation anxiety. We learned his triggers and found even more ways to calm his anxieties. We also did a session at a local store to work on my dog’s anxiety about arriving at new places in our car. We have also attended a group pack walk and look forward to taking more classes with Tracy. Thank you, Tracy, for helping me become a better dog mom!
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!
We had a great time training our new Golden pup with Tracy. She gave us a lot of confidence as new dog owners. The skills we learned with Tracy are invaluable. My favorite skill she taught us is the Recall. She teaches in a calm and understandable manner and went above and beyond to try and coordinate puppy playdates for me. She's a great instructor.
I loved the class! Tracy was great. Anyone looking for a dog trainer, you can't do better then Tracy!
Tracy is an excellent teacher! Her lessons are clear, and she has a genuine connection with my puppy Frankie. I thoroughly enjoyed her classes. The most important "recall" lesson really stuck with my puppy.
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!
I thought my one-year-old Australian Cattle Dog (a rescue dog) might be un-trainable because he wouldn't respond to treats. Tracy gave me some guidance as to what treats to try and how to use them. Teddy is wrapping up his basic training class and has come a long way in just six weeks. He responds to seven commands that Tracy has instructed us on how to use, and I am sure he will be able to learn new commands easily as I continue to challenge him. I recommend Tracy and the Feet and Paws classes to anyone who has a new pet.
I have taken both private and group dog training classes with Tracy, and I LOVE her patient and positive training style. She is a highly effective and knowledgeable trainer of both dogs and their humans! Her safety tips are invaluable. For me the most important thing was to learn dog behavior and communication so that I will know how to help and train my dog in any situation, not just how to get him to sit. I love Tracy's way of teaching from the dog's perspective, so we can continue to deepen our understanding and bond. She shows how any dog can be trained with positive reinforcement.
We attended 6 of Tracy's dog obedience classes. I have a rescue Yorkie who, while I have worked with her for a year, still has a couple behavior challenges. I am a pretty experienced dog person and I learned a few "new to me" tricks. Tracy's class is great for beginning the basics and will work, if you practice and are consistent!
We hired Tracy to teach us and our 8-week old puppy basic training skills, obedience and potty training. Tracy is fantastic and has an amazing way with dogs: effective, yet gentle. We knew nothing about dogs (first puppy) and we came a long way in just a few sessions and have also decided to sign up for her group classes to continue improving our dog's socialization skills. Highly recommended!
We have been attending Tracy's obedience class with our young dog since he was five months old. (Two + 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 a rambunctious puppy - and I'm grateful for her talent, kindness and helpful class. We recommend her enthusiastically.
My dog and I took beginner obedience training with Tracy. My dog has a lot of anxiety issues, because he was a stray that I just took in a few months ago. Tracy's positive energy is amazing. I really looked forward to class every week! We'll continue training with Tracy, as I can tell that it's helping my dog learn to trust humans. I highly recommend you try Feet & Paws too!
We loved our classes with Tracy! My nine year old daughter attended as well and Tracy was not only good with our dog (a Maltese/Poodle mix) but also patient and a great teacher for my daughter. As a first time dog owner Tracy has taught us a lot of tips and tricks that really seem to work. Based on my observations of her interactions with the others in the class, she also seems very adept at tailoring suggestions for the personality and temperament of the dog. Great class, I highly recommend!
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 tamp out our dog's anxiety and respond to simple commands at the end of the 5-week course. Practicing consistently during the week is key. Highly recommended.
Training with Tracy has been wonderful! I don’t know if I just got lucky or if she always has small classes, but my class was so small that my dog and I got a lot of attention and were truly able to learn. Tracy is so helpful in providing guidance to both dog & owner and tailoring it to their specific struggles. Not only is she great with the set training for the class, but she always has an answer when you ask for advice in other areas as well. My dog and I have already learned so much. Her energy is amazing and she’s so helpful and such a pleasure to learn from. We’re finishing up our beginner class and I definitely plan doing intermediate and advance with Tracy as well!
We took Puppy Class with Tracy and had a great experience! Classes were fun and definitely helped us establish good communication with our high energy pup. We like her positive training techniques and plan to do more classes with her.
We took our dog Coco to Tracy and we are already seeing progress. Tracy is amazing! I love how she gives honest feedback and gives us helpful tips that is helping us better train our dog. Tracy makes the class fun. I highly recommend.
Tracy is fantastic! We took her intro training group class (6 classes) and had her over for private training as well (3 classes) and 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! Would definitely recommend for new pup owners and anyone who wants to deepen their relationship with their dog.
We took the beginner obedience class with instructor Tracy. Truly enjoyed the experience. This is a great class to learn the basics of training your dog. It's very informative for both pups and people. Every week our dog enjoyed the class and came out knowing new skills. Tracy gave tons of great tips and techniques to practice at home to get your dog to the level you want them to be. This class really helps you to learn to speak your dogs language and create a happy and well adjusted member of your family!

Dog Tricks & Fitness Class Policies & Expectations
Do not proceed to payment for Dog Tricks & Fitness in Eugene, Oregon if your dog has ever growled, snipped, aggressively barked at, lunged for, or bitten anyone or thing for any reason (outside of typical puppy teething). First, let’s schedule a brief phone chat to discuss these behaviors (EMAIL to schedule). From here we can decide if group class will be a good fit for you and your dog (at this time), schedule a brief complimentary assessment, and/or discuss consulting your veterinarian to see if is a physical issue causing your dog to respond this way (pain/discomfort can cause reactivity/sensitivity). In this case, once your dog is given a clean bill of health from your veterinarian, I would love the opportunity to help you establish desired alternate behaviors through private dog training.
