Tasha has been an amazing resource for our journey with our Finnish Lapphund Maki. She worked to work on us being consistent and keeping a common approach to crate training, toilet trying, and basic commands with him as a new puppy. In addition she is always available to help with the puppy blues and struggles as they occurred. Tasha is patient, supportive, and generous with her time and talents. We are grateful to have Essential Dog Training as we move into the teenage puppy phase. Our hope is to eventually work with Tasha to train him to be a therapy dog for schools. He is already a happy member of our family thanks to Tasha.

Tasha did an amazing job with our lab puppy Hawi. He did the stay and train program and we were able to visit and see his progress. She was so compassionate and calm with him. He came back a new dog. We can't be more grateful for all she did with him.

My dog Sunny was a rescue from South Carolina. He was trained as a puppy by Tasha and he is the best dog I ever had. For warm, compassionate training of a dog, she’s the best!
