I had to give one star just only because otherwise I can't write a review. Please always do your homework where you taking your best friend for training or grooming as well. Unfortunately this is what happened with my good friend's puppy: Update- I previously posted the death of my 8 month old baby boy Cooper. The death occurred at Hermans Hangout with Trainer Tammy Olson in Fort Atkinson. The necropsy results confirmed that he died of strangulation. At this time that is all I am able to share. I thank everyone for reaching out and for all the support. read more

Do NOT take your dog to Tammy Fleming/Tammy Olson at Herman's Hangout or HR Stormy-T's Sweet Lady Angeline SH. Two dogs in the past month have died while being trained by her. She puts them on platforms and leaves them unattended while chained so they hung themselves. What a terrible terrible training program she has. #JusticeforMarleyandCooper read more

Herman's Hangout - Beware she killed these two dogs.. Justice for Marley and Cooper! - Pet Training Near Me - Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin

"Tammy stated that she was doing her final training for the night with Cooper at approximately 10:30 p.m.," the complaint said. "She had Cooper on a choker chain. She stated the way she trains is by a method called, 'release of pressure,' which means the dog will decide how much pressure is applied to achieve compliance." The complaint stated that, under the method used by Flemming, it is common for a dog to yelp, or react when using a choker chain. "That is when they know to relieve the pressure," the complaint stated. "Cooper had been with Tammy for four weeks and had been doing very well on the choker chain. During this time, Tammy was asking Cooper to sit, but he was in a 'power struggle' with Tammy and had begun 'fighting' her by thrashing his head back and forth. This caused Tammy to continue with pressure on the chain." Flemming told Lawrence this was a command that Cooper had successfully demonstrated many times before. "She attempted to give a loud verbal command to gain compliance and stop the thrashing," according to the complaint. "This did not work and Cooper kept 'fighting.' Tammy noticed Cooper's back legs became weak and she then released the chain. Tammy watched Cooper and observed he began to breathe shallow and slowly. She then began to give Cooper mouth-to-mouth and chest compressions. Tammy also thought to grab some honey. She explained some hunting dogs experience low blood sugar and honey helps. Her attempts to save Cooper were unsuccessful and Cooper died." 4 weeks she throttled the dog into submission - that's not training. Now she has failed to show for court. read more

Shut this place down! She strangled two poor babies and didnt let the owners know until after she had already put their bodies in the freezer. She showed no remorse and continued to sign new patients up. read more

Tammy is an incredible trainer. She really gets down to understanding the psyche of the dog and why he/she acts that way. Her training techniques are great for breeds that want to work and learn. If you want a well trained, obedient dog who respects you as a handler Tammy is the place to go. read more

I have a great dog. She is loved by most who meet her and at a young age started to visit the sick at various establishments. She always seemed excited to go to Herman's Hangout but never understood why she was to the moon excited when I would pick her up. We were fortunate to adopt a second dog and the expense of going to daycare became too much. I had purchased a bundle of visits but refunds were not given. Well my older dog wanted nothing to do with the establishment! She wanted out. The owner lied to me to excuse the lack of any refund by saying she had been evicted. I should have known something was up when the owner rearranged and dog parents could no longer view the inside of her establishment. Don't go! read more
