Absolutely talented trainer with the basic set of commands, to more diligent advanced courses available. Tasha was absolutely phenomenal with our pups and has left us with a lasting impression of her training to be useful for the rest of our dogs lives. Thank you again!
We love Tasha. She has taken the time to educate herself and is extremely passionate about what she does. She poors her heart and soul into the dogs she works with.
