Tisha Angelo is a wonderful dog trainer who helped me significantly with my long hair German Shepherd. She taught myself and my husband techniques to control our dog on and off leash. Also she provided us with training equipment recommendations that we purchased and have been very happy with. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to better their relationship with their canine friend! Thank you Tisha!

In short, Tisha is amazing. As someone who has always had a pack of dogs for a family, Tisha has been instrumental in helping me ensure effective and low-stress introductions and helping me understand my dogs' behavior towards one another in order to manage my household (including helping dogs with separation anxiety). She is patient, kind, positive, and quick to respond/help. I have been working with her for over a decade, and there is simply no one else I would go to for behavioral consulting.

Words can not express the appreciation and thanks we have for all the work Tisha and Second Chance Canine had on our pup Kuma. We got Kuma at 8 weeks old and live in downtown Cleveland. We had a couple trainers recommended to us but although they weren’t wrong in their training we needed someone who could understand our pup and our unique situation being downtown. Tisha was recommended to us and came to our apartment and started working with us. Kuma is one of the most sensitive precious souls you can meet and Tisha put us in a position that we could nurture that but create the best environment for her to learn and handle the stresses of downtown life. We still use and only trust Tisha for care of our pup when traveling and we will always be grateful for her insights and care she provided. If you are looking for any help or boarding there is no other person we would trust recommend.

For the Love of Pits™ has worked with Second Chance Canine for over 15 years. When For the Love of Pits began, our founder had good intentions but lacked knowledge in canine body language, communication, and effective training methods. Through our work at a local shelter, we encountered the founder of Second Chance Canine and observed her deep commitment to animals and her unwavering dedication to guiding the public in their best interests. For over 15 years, Second Chance Canine has been the primary trainer and behavior consultant for For the Love of Pits. Our organization is dedicated to acting in the best interests of our rescue dogs, and Second Chance Canine has been instrumental in this mission. SCC helps train our volunteers, foster homes, and adopters in dog communication, body language, basic and advanced cues, and, when needed, helps address and resolve unwanted behaviors to prepare our dogs for adoption. Thanks to Second Chance Canine's expertise and deep knowledge, we have successfully helped dogs overcome past trauma, build trust, and thrive as family companions. We could not recommend Second Chance Canine more.

I met Tisha in 2013 when we partnered with a local rescue to foster dogs. At the time, we were very inexperienced dog owners. Throughout our entire fostering experience (2013-2019), Tisha was an invaluable resource. She educated us in many, many ways with our first foster dog. Tisha showed us how to provide a safe, consistent, and positive training experience for our reactive foster. Tisha even helped to keep me calm and get our foster dog to the emergency hospital when there was a medical emergency. Years later, Tisha recommended the perfect dog for us when we were looking to add to our family. I could give endless examples of Tisha's expertise, patience, understanding, knowledge, friendship, kindness, and everything in between. She has educated us in so many ways, as well as supported and guided us during challenging times with our pups (foster and personal). We wouldn't be the dog people we are today without Tisha's impeccable services. I consider myself a fairly educated and experienced dog owner now (thanks to Tisha and others!), but I still called Tisha a few months ago to assess some concerns I had. She will always be our go to for dog behavior information, positive reinforcement training, and so much more. One of our pups has been going to "Aunt Tisha's" house for boarding for about 2 years now and LOVES it! If I could give Tisha 100 stars, it still wouldn't be enough!
