We had a great experience working with Rebecca at Trusty Dog. When we first reached out, our puppy was only about 10 weeks old, and as first-time puppy owners, we were overwhelmed by all the conflicting and often outdated advice online. Our long-term goal is for our dog to safely go wherever we go…the golf course, ranch, outdoor adventures, and everyday life. We also wanted to work with someone who could not only train her, but also teach us how to best support her.. Rebecca started with a thorough in-home consultation and really took the time to understand our puppy, our concerns, and our goals. Her approach felt very customized rather than one-size-fits-all, which was a big reason we chose to work with her. We ended up doing a one-week board and train while we were out of town, and it was absolutely worth it. When we picked our puppy up, she was still completely herself (playful, funny, and very much a puppy) but she was more focused, eager to learn, looking to us for direction, and most importantly at that stage, no longer biting everyone! Rebecca kept us updated throughout the week and shared demo videos so we could reinforce the new behaviors at home. What I appreciate most is that Rebecca works with the owners just as much as the dog. She is hands-on, patient, knowledgeable, personable, nonjudgmental, and incredibly responsive. Any time we’ve had a question, she’s given us a thoughtful, helpful answer and is even willing to jump on a video call if needed. We’re planning to continue the second half of training when our puppy reaches her teenage stage in a couple of months, and I’m really glad we chose to take this approach. We will be doing training sessions out in real world environments and our home. If you’re in the Tulsa area and looking for a puppy trainer who will tailor training to your dog, your family, and your lifestyle, I highly recommend Rebecca. We’re very happy with the foundation she helped us build and see it as well worth the investment.
