Now and Zen Dog Training

Nan understands dogs and she is able to train owners to understand their dogs. She provides hands on training and follows up long after actual training is complete. Her passion for dogs is demonstrated by her continual research and desire to learn everything she can about dog health and dog training. She shares that knowledge with her previous “students”. I have known Nan for 8 years and three dogs.....she is awesome! One last thing....her cabins are beautiful so treat yourself and your dog to a vacation and get a little training, too.

We stayed at Tree Frog right after Christmas with our dog Rufus and almost 1 yr old baby. The cabin was spotless. I have never seen a cleaner place, especially not one that allows dogs. With a large fenced in yard, Rufus had a blast. We would throw his ball in the yard for him each morning. The house really felt like a luxury cabin. The updated kitchen and bathrooms were beautiful and had everything we needed for a short stay (coffee maker and coffee, pots and pans, etc.). We were also surprised with a washer and dryer so we were able to do a small load while we were there. Nan is just the best. We've been blessed to have a few FaceTime training sessions with her for Rufus and are very impressed with her knowledge. She is very gentle and knows exactly what she's doing. We would highly recommend her to anyone. Now that we've stayed at her cabins as well, we know where to stay each time we are passing through the area with Rufus!

After adopting Piper, our boxer/lab mix, at the age of 8 months, we enrolled her in Nan’s puppy class. She helped us by not only teaching Piper how to listen and follow commands, but she taught us the art of communicating with and for our dog. Piper is a very obedient girl, now. It took her a while to let go of her puppyhood(that’s the lab in her). She learned all her commands and how to walk on a leash. Nan’s class was instrumental in creating a happy and well behaved dog. As she got older, we decided she needed a sister. Before we adopted Nola, our 8 week old lab mix puppy, we enlisted Nan to observe Piper, at 3 years old, playing with other dogs to prepare us/her for a baby friend. Piper is a rough play kind of gal. Nan gave us tips to use to recall Piper when she gets a little rambunctious. Using those tools that Nan provided, have helped guide both Piper and Nola and have been invaluable to us. Anyone looking for training for their puppy or adult dog, Nan’s your answer. You will learn from her how to use common sense techniques that you have had all along. She’s the conduit between you and your dog! She will make you and your dog happy!
