Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants to deepen their relationship with their dog.
Tracy is fantastic! We took her intro training group class (6 classes) & had her over for private training as well (3 classes). I don’t know where we’d be without her. Now we all have a lot more confidence & capability to keep learning. We would definitely recommend Tracy for new pup owners and anyone who wants to deepen their relationship with their dog.

Life is a lot easier now!
After getting our second dog, we realized that we needed some help since he was a door dasher, guarded the couch, and wa reactive on leash. We had Tracy over for a few sessions & she showed us a variety of different tricks to try. She took the time to explain & demonstrate and, after we had some time to practice, it finally started to click for me & Otto.

My pup loved it when Tracy would come over to help him learn something new.
Tracy was very patient and helpful with showing us what to do. My pup loved it when Tracy would come over to help him learn something new.

We had a great experience with Tracy.
We had a great experience with Tracy. We have a 5 year old Lab/Shepherd mix who is very aggressive with other animals so it is very tough to take her out on walks. Tracy gave us a lot of pointers and helped us to get Tara to listen to us and follow our cues. I highly recommend Tracy.

Tracy is teaching us so much!

I’m really glad we signed up for the private training.
After taking a few of Tracy's fitness classes, I decided to sign up for private lessons to work on some issues we were having like pulling on the leash. Tracy was very patient showing us what to do. It's been especially great because she continues to help us whenever we're at fitness class. Gretchen is so much better and I'm really grateful to Tracy.
Melissa
My dog and I are now enjoying working out together.
Our dog training sessions were so helpful. They gave me a great foundation for training Sparkie. Walking him on a leash has already become much better after implementing some of the things Tracy taught us. We've decided to do some personal training with her too and not only have we both lost weight, but my dog and I are now enjoying working out together! Thanks so much Tracy!

Tracy is great at connecting with dog and owners.
Even after 2 sessions with Tracy our pooch is picking up & progressing very well. Tracy is great at connecting with dog and owners. She excellent at explaining both dog and human reactions to training methods.

Tracy is such a joy to work with!
Tracy helped my Shadow progress tremendously in the short time we trained together! She really takes her time in breaking down each step of the training process, maximizing results & making training sessions enjoyable & informative. Tracy really knows her stuff and I highly recommend her to anyone interested in having a well behaved & fun dog!

We like Tracy’s style of positive reinforcement.
Tracy helped us with our 11 month Lab who needed guidance with leash walking & recalls. We like Tracy's style of positive reinforcement instead of using a remote collar to shock our dogs, which another trainer wanted to use. Tracy uses treats to show the dog a positive experience. We extended our training to include our new 4 month old puppy too.

Walks are more enjoyable now!
Tracy's great. We had a few lessons & they were always fun & informative. She was awesome with my dogs & gave us lots of training advice. Our walks are much more enjoyable now & we're even going on Tracy's pack hikes!
Diane H.
We love Tracy and appreciate that she patiently shares her expertise with us.
My husband and I are seniors with two Dachshund puppy brothers. Working with Tracy has saved the day. My husband's memory is not what it was and he forgets a lot. Tracy understands and is patient and kind, with us and our pups. This will take time, but we are in it for the long haul.

Meet the Trainer

From the start we had a lot in common: a lack of coordination, the need to put our mouths on everything, and an inability to hold our bladders. Needless to say, my bond with Sandy (named after the dog in Annie), was immediate. All jokes aside, she was my best friend for sixteen years and our friendship inspired my love of animals.

It wasn’t until my third year of college, and far from the unconditional support of Ginger, my family’s next four-legged family member, that I discovered my interest in health and fitness. I started walking on a regular basis to get away from the computer and relieve stress. Having never been very physically active in the past, I was surprised to find I enjoyed walking so much that, in time, I started walking longer and faster, eventually progressing to running. Over summer break, I kept the momentum and walked and ran with Ginger. It was so wonderful taking control of my well-being with my best friend who was also benefiting from activity.

As I transitioned into the working world, I never lost sight of the impact and joy animals and activity brought to my life. Not yet able to have my own dog (darn you work schedule!), I began volunteering at a local city shelter. I quickly gained respect as an experienced, trustworthy dog handler and even taught other volunteers how to handle and train the shelter dogs. It was both heart breaking and tremendously rewarding work.

Then, in 2010, I had transitioned into another profession and couldn’t take living without a dog a second longer.

So, I finally adopted my own dog from the shelter, a beautiful Belgian Malinois mix, Berlin. At this same time my fitness regime had progressed and I was participating in full and half marathons. Soon my favorite part about participating in a race was not crossing the finish line but training with my best buddy. Berlin and I have even walked and ran in several 5Ks and 10Ks together.

All of this made me realize I wanted to help others have it all too. So, I earned by dog training and fitness instruction certifications and now combine and share these skills in the various services that Feet & Paws Fitness offers. It is such an honor helping people and their dogs be healthy and happy together.
