What People Are Saying About Private Dog & Puppy Training 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!
Our [rescue] dog, Moon, came with some behavioral issues. One was EXTREME anxiety and reactivity towards dogs, humans, and pretty much anything that lives and moves. We tried all the TikTok advice for reactive dogs we could find, but instead of Moon getting better, he got progressively worse. We contacted Tracy when 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, sniff butts with other dogs, meet with our friends that he doesn't know without throwing a fit, and go to a dog park. 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 kind, communicative, and her methods work. Money well spent.
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. We soon realized he was an escape artist, jumping fences and climbing trees. 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 Tracy train him, she trained me too! She was gentle (but firm) and patient. 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.
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 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!
Tracy helped us with our 11 month Lab who needed guidance with leash walking and recalls. We like Tracy's style of positive reinforcement instead of using a remote collar to shock our dogs, which was used with another trainer. Our Lab would shut down with the collar. Tracy uses treats to show the dog a positive experience. We booked a few sessions and have decided to extend and start training with our new 4 month old puppy.
Tracy of Feet & Paws is such a joy to work with! She has helped my Shadow progress tremendously in the short time we've been training together! Tracy really knows her stuff! She does a wonderful job of incorporating props and obstacles to help challenge your dog. Tracy really takes her time in breaking down each step of the training process, maximizing results and making training sessions enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend Tracy and Feet & Paws to anyone interested in having a well behaved and fun dog!
Tiger is a rescue that picked us out. Since he was an outdoor dog and a bit wild, we decided to hire a trainer for some private lessons. Fortunately we chose Tracy at Feet & Paws Fitness. She has been fantastic! She is training us at the same time as Tiger as it is all about communication between the pet and the owners. He is turning out to be a great, lovable dog. Thank you Tracy for your patience, diligence and expertise!
Just had 2 lesson with my pooch with Tracy. He is picking up and progressing very well . Tracy is connecting with dog and owners. She been excellent in explaining both dog and human reactions to training methods.
My husband and I are seniors, and we adopted two 8 week-old Daschund puppies. We soon discovered that our big hearts took on more challenges than we had expected. Working with Tracy has saved the day. My husband's memory is not what it was (a retired ER doc) and he will forget some of the guidelines that we are given at the end of each session. Tracy understands and is patient and always loving and kind, with us and our pups. Tracy is actually training all four of us to be reliable and consistent. We love her and appreciate that she patiently shares her expertise with us. This will take time, but we are in it for the long haul!
Tracy is absolutely amazing. My fiancé and I rehomed a 6 month old lab with numerous behavioral issues (biting, jumping, etc). Over 3 training sessions, Tracy gave us the tools to positively reward his good behavior and limit his misbehaviors. I cannot recommend Tracy enough for any dog owners who are looking for positive reinforcement best practices for training your pup. If she can help our dog, she can help yours.
Tracy is a wonderful trainer! We learned so much that after we had a few private lessons to work on our dog's basics, my wife and I started bringing our terrier to Tracy's fitness classes. It was a wonderful class filled with open minded people and a highly trained instructor. I would recommend Feet & Paws to anyone.
We had a great experience with Tracy, our trainer. We have a 5 year old Tara (Lab/Shepherd mix) and she was rescued from a shelter. She is very aggressive with other animals so it is very tough to take her out on walks and we do that very late at night when no one is around. Tracy gave us a lot of pointers and helped us every class to get Tara to listen to us and follow our cues. This program is great anyone who can follow simple instructions. I would highly recommend Tracy.
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 just finished our third training session with Tracy for our dog who was experiencing trauma from a cat attack. Over the course of about three months he's improved not only in the area of confidence in taking walks again, but Tracy also leaned into helping other areas of struggle such as leash walking. Having her there to chat through, demonstrate, and be there to advise as my husband and I tried different techniques really helped! I highly recommend working with Tracy, she has a wealth of knowledge and taught with an empathetic approach to understand our boy better.

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.
