had this to say:
I recently discovered the best dog spot in town, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The training provided here is exceptional, and my dog absolutely adores Tammie. Not only is the training effective, but the trainer's approach is so gentle and caring that my dog looks forward to every session. We love the trainer just as much as our dog does, and I couldn't recommend this spot highly enough for anyone looking for top-notch training and a wonderful connection with their furry friend.
In addition to exceptional training, the boarding services at this dog spot are truly top-notch. From the moment we drop off our furry friend, we know they're in good hands. The facilities are clean, spacious, and equipped with everything a dog could need for a comfortable stay. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure each dog feels loved and well-cared for, providing regular updates and even accommodating special requests. With such fantastic boarding services, we can enjoy peace of mind knowing our dog is happy and safe while we're away. This place truly is a gem for both training and boarding!

We have 2 young corgis. Both are high energy, stubborn, and very food motivated. One has severe anxiety and displays an obsessive behavior of chasing his tail when he gets overwhelmed. With the help of Tammie, our dogs’ personalities have completely changed. They are much more calm and collected and the obsessive tail chasing has drastically decreased. Our dogs seem happier, more motivated to work, and especially enjoy our daily training practice. I would highly recommend Tammie’s services to new and veteran dog owners.

Tammie’s dog service is amazing. I love how they keep you informed of how your fur baby is doing while you are away! Even during non- business hours someone goes into play with the animals and they keep you posted on how your pet is doing. Everyone there is so nice I definitely would recommend her service for boarding. Our angel loved Tammie so much she didn’t want to come home with me right away.🤣

I have always enjoyed being around dogs. Learning how to communicate with them and train them. I have been involved in rescuing & training dogs for over 10 years in my community. I earned my Karen Pryor Certificate in Teaching Positive Training. Watching the transformation is just amazing results. I just do not offer training. I also offer Daycare & Boarding at my facility.
My Promise:
I promise to make parents happy with their dog. Life with a dog can be challenging and having the right skill set to help you get through your fur baby's life. A better bond and correct enrichment techniques to correct your dogs bad behavior all help to achieve that goal.
Important Notice! We do not offer dog grooming at Tammie's Dog Services and Training! We specialize in premier dog training and day care! Please give us a call if you have any questions about our services! Thank you for your understanding!
