Training for Family Dogs

Testimonials


Quotes Max is my first dog and when I attended Trish's class, I was pretty sure that I was the one that needed the training! Both Max and I have learned a lot through Trish's help! No matter how much experience someone has as a dog owner (or how little), Trish zeroes in on exactly the right thing to teach (and to whom!). I know I am a very happy dog owner because of Trish's expertise. And I know that Max is a happy dog because of what Trish has taught us. Quotes

Quotes Taking a class with Trish Wamsat is an amazing experience filled with fun, insight into dogs, their owners and useful individualized training. Trish is absolutely wonderful with dogs of all ages, breeds and temperaments. She is equally skillful with people, an essential attribute in an effective and caring dog trainer. My son and his fiancée, a young couple living in S.F., and I, a senior now in my seventies, brought our new lab puppy, a sweet but submissive female, to Trish?s classes. Trish was skillful and sensitive in adapting to our different styles and most importantly helping each of us work with the personality quirks of our particular pup. We also worked with her on an individual basis. The private sessions were great investment. Our first class with Trish had another rambunctious rowdy male lab. It was great fun to see Trish shift gears between these two very different dogs in a room full of a wild assortment of other dogs and their equally diverse owners. Quotes

Quotes Trish is smart and funny and she can definitely communicate with your dog. Better still, she can teach you to communicate with your dog. Is your body language confusing your dog? Are you being consistent? Did you praise your dog for good behavior? When I adopted Tater from the Humane Society, they recommended that we attend a puppy class. Fortunately my vet recommended Trish and that was the beginning of a very special friendship. Tater and I started with Trish's puppy class and we've taken just about every class Trish offers. Our favorite class is the small dog social. It is a nice safe place for the dogs to play and learn together. As soon as we get in the car on Tuesday evening, Tater knows where we are going and squeaks with joy until we get there. Tater will be five years old in May. According to Trish's book, Tater and I may face some new challenges as he approaches five. But I feel confident that with Trish's help we can overcome any problems. Pat and Tater Quotes

Quotes We took one of Trish's classes with our 6 month old puppy and weren't sure what to expect. Trish's ability to communicate with dogs is unbelievable. She understands even the smallest cues in their behavior and has shown us how to work with our dog easily and without struggle. Having not owned a dog before, I had hoped to find someone as skilled as she is to mentor me on the training. I am happy and grateful that I have found that in Trish. Look no further. Working with Trish is the best investment of your dog training time and money. Quotes

Quotes Finding Trish's classes was the BEST thing that happened for my little Toy Spaniel Olivia & me! During the first classes Livie was quite timid and shy with other dogs & people -- Trish is amazing in her connection with dogs - Livie knew Trish was wonderful from the first day - each class Livie gained self confidence and was less timid - Trish's positive teaching methods truly transformed Olivia into an outgoing, playful and socialized Spaniel - We cannot thank Trish enough! All dogs big & small benefit from Trish Wamsat's knowledge & loving teaching! Quotes
Super satisfied customer!

Quotes I adopted a very fearful dog named Jelly Bean last year. She was likely kept caged in a puppy mill her entire 11 months of life until ending up in a high-kill shelter. She had not been socialized at all, with dogs or people. My vet advised seeking out Trish who recommended her small dog social group. Jelly Bean has just blossomed in the past year, with the most amazing changes happening in the last couple of months. We attended Trish's Holiday Manners class and it gave Jelly Bean a huge boost of confidence. There were many large, scary dogs in the class and all of them improved tremendously. Jelly Bean was a perfect guest at holiday gatherings this year! When we can fit it into our schedule, we want to take Trish's Nose Work class next. Quotes

Quotes I can't believe how much better behaved Kira is now, thanks to your class! She comes when I call her, she sits when I ask her to, she's easier to walk. Wow!!! We looked forward to your class every Saturday morning, it was fun and educational. We continue to use your advice and can see so much progress in Kira's behavior, it's amazing. Quotes

Quotes When we first brought Remy home, new situations terrified him. He would tremble with anxiety and completely shut down upon meeting unfamiliar dogs, people and settings. With Trish's expert guidance and the help of his new friends at the small dog social, Remy gradually overcame his anxiety and has blossomed into a happy, self-assured dog. The small dog social provided a safe and nurturing environment in which Remy could learn how to be comfortable with and interact with other dogs and humans outside of his immediate circle. Trish advised us on how to react in different situations and taught us important cues to foster confidence. Remy now looks forward to his weekly play sessions with excitement, and people constantly remark on the amazing change in his behavior. We are extremely grateful to Trish and Remy's canine and human friends for helping him come this far! Vivi & Anthony Quotes
