About Primitive Dog LLC

Natural Dog Training is about establishing emotional rapport as a basis for training. There’s so much emphasis today on giving dogs mental stimulation, physical exercise, play dates, hiking groups, and tons of early and on-going training, but what is getting lost in all this activity is the notion of emotional rapport. Rapport isn’t trained or learned, it is developed. In the canine mind, rapport emerges by being part of a team.A dog doesn’t work for pride in accomplishment, to earn respect from a leader, praise, rewards or even play or positive experiences. A dog wants to be part of a team. Everything in a dog’s life is secondary to this social drive. If a dog doesn’t have rapport, he has problems.

Life changing!!!! I drove for two days from Tennessee to spend a month in NY with Tammy and her team after reading Kevin Behan's book "Your Dog is Your Mirror" and immediately resonating with his words. Tammy is one of Kevins direct apprentices and is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior - specifically problem behaviors and any type of aggression. My pup is very dog aggressive and we have tried EVERYTHING under the sun. Nothing worked, in fact, he kept getting more aggressive, especially after E-Collar training. After doing a month long board and train with Natural Dog Training Next Gen, my dog AND myself are completely different in the best way possible. Daily life is so much easier. We have all the tools we need to be successful inside and outside of the house. Anytime I run into something that is hard to work through behavior wise, Tammy is there and supporting me - even from 14 hours away! Natural Dog Training is what's missing in our entire dog culture. I have never seen my dog so relaxed; he is gaining confidence by the day and I know we can work through his dog aggression fully with Tammy and her team by our sides. I have made a life-long contact for help with my current dog and any dogs to come. If you are struggling with a problem dog (or even if you have a new pup, especially a shelter pup, and just want to get off to a good star) Natural Dog Training Next Gen is the way to go. NDT Next Gen is passionate about preserving and continuing Kevin Behan's genius life work surrounding dogs and dog behavior. I couldn't be happier with my decision to drive two days and spend a month in upstate NY for a life changing way of truly learning to be one with my dog and get to the root of our problems.

This place really is magic. Because I have dogs with behavioral issues it’s hard to find a facility and trainer I can trust so when I had to move to LA and couldn’t take my dogs right away I knew there was only one place that I could trust!! Tammy puts her heart into everything she does with a dog and the results show!! Wouldn’t board them with anyone else.

Where to even begin! Our dog Yeti absolutely loves Tammy and so do we! She has taken Yeti for a total of 6 weeks and worked very diligently with him on his leash reactivity. She also has made both my husband and I more confident dog owners. She is always available for questions and you can tell she has a passion for what she does. She is truly one of a kind and we are extremely happy to have been referred to her!!
