We found Tasha about 8 months ago and started our golden retriever, Doug, in both 1:1 sessions and…read morepuppy class. At the time, he was very high energy, mouthy, pulling on leash, and overall just a sweet but very wild puppy. I truly could not be more grateful for Tasha and everything she has done for us. Doug is now in her advanced obedience class and absolutely thriving. We also continue to do 1:1 sessions, which have been so valuable for his continued progress. Training has become so much fun and we look forward to it every week. She also provides you with all the tools you need to practice at home and is incredibly responsive to any and all questions. Tasha has an incredible level of expertise and a thoughtful, effective approach to training. She not only understands dogs, but also teaches owners in a way that feels supportive and clear. We also trust her fully for boarding, as she genuinely treats Doug like her own. He LOVES her!!! Doug has come so far, and it is largely thanks to Tasha. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly exceptional trainer.

In response to Tasha, I have copies of all papers. The trust read them before I signed. Nothing…read morewas said about price. You raised Ebony's prices without informing me. There was never anything said on bills or anything about increase. I can prove what I was paying before I trusted you with billing. You charged 175 for private when they were 75 without informing me. You NEVER mentioned anything until after our last class and Kismet being " reactive" or anything negative until our last class. When you brought up rehoming. So those are more of your lies. Kismet is a puppy. Yes she would jump up on me. For play not in aggression. She never showed any aggression. If you'd like we can bring this to court. There are plenty of witnesses. Kismet sees people daily and interacts with them. She loves everyone. You were mad and added on 100's of dollars. I'm sure if I went through everything it's closer to a thousand. I was going to just pay you to get away from you but I won't allow your lies. I didn't mention how during the last 3 1/2 years you were late to practically every class. Usually at least 20 minutes late. I can remember maybe 2 or 3 classes that you were actually on time. I remember how this affected a lot of your clients when they had other things after class. After talking to my breeder I found out how you didn't want me to get a Doberman. You have been trying to set me up to fail. There were many times you gave me contradictory advise. I work with both my dogs daily. I was also paying for class 4 times a week. Unless you couldn't make it! The past few months that's been often. We weren't notified of where class would be until usually the night before. Tasha got into it online with another trainer. She was telling the story before one of our classes. She found out where that trainer was going to be and she went to embarrass him. Asking questions trying to make him look bad. He's part of your community you should be helping each other. Then she took her jacket off to expose who she was. Literally going there to humiliate or upset the trainer. Personally I don't think it was very mature of you. It wasn't helpful to your colleague. This is just an example of what kind of person Tasha is. Also you lied about the breeder not wanting to use anything but a martingale. We keep in contact. I send her updates regularly so your attempt to get Kismet taken away didn't work. I also found out you asked about a female for breeding for one of your clients. She turned you down. I'm sure you weren't happy about that. She doesn't want her dogs used as back yard breeders. She breeds for service dogs and working dogs. She doesn't sell breeding rights to anyone. Not even you! She cares about the breed and does testing. It's people who are BYB who ruin the breed. You should know that. Kismet tried to warn me about you. She never wanted to go to class and be around you. That last private you were jerking her around trying to get her react. Not allowing her to turn her head at all to look at anything. The fact she didn't go after you shows how sweet she is because I was upset. Then when we went back and gave me your rehoming bull shit I knew then I should quit. Then when you messaged with your demands that really weren't clear. I tried to get you to spell out exactly what you meant. You never did. It was more you wanted to control everything. Control what dog I got etc. A few weeks before all this I mentioned at class I brought a treadmill and Tasha was upset. That's when things really started going bad. ( the breeder loved the treadmill and thought it was a great idea). Also Tasha accused me of taking advice from utube. Yes I watch U tube and TT. Most people do. I took advice from Tasha. Except for using some German commands. Another thing that upset her. Yet other students also use them and she didn't get mad at them. She allowed others to use things to help with pulling but didn't allow me. I'm 65 and disabled and she knows that. I guess that's why she didn't think I should have a Doberman. However before getting a Doberman I talked to her about a golden. I've had a golden before and she put that down. She came up for reasons why I shouldn't get a mountain dog, poodle, golden a cavalier. I finally just decided on a Doberman. I'd had it with her controlling attitude. I'm an adult and I've had all kinds of dogs. Ive trained all my past dogs. The only reason for hiring a trainer was for a service dog. Kismet lives with and sleeps with my cats and Poms and Maltese. If you decide to work with Tasha that's fine. My review was the only one until Tasha told her friends to write 5 star reviews. I have the right to leave reviews and I'm going to leave others on different platforms. I was more than fair with a 3 star. If you have anything else to say Tasha we can settle this in court.

We went in for the free consultation and off the bat the vibe and energy of the place really drew me in. We were fortunate enough to work with Lila. She was absolutely amazing, and both Loki and I loved her! She helped to explain the lessons in a way that we both were able to grasp and stick with. In just four weeks Lokis behavior has improved tremendously. Hes obedient, confident and happy, which in turn helps me out as well. I know there are a lot of options, I met with a couple of them and Off Leash took the cake. 10/10 would recommend!

I purchased a German Shepherd puppy from Hugh McDonald and Angela Gaskell of Von ALPENMAC German…read moreShepherds. They gave me a lifetime warranty on his health. At two years old he developed severe hip dysplasia and I ended up having to euthanize him at two years and 11 months old because he had bone cancer. Hugh refused to honor his health guarantee on my dog and five years later, still refuses to talk to me about it and just hangs up on me when I call him and ignores my emails. He insists I am making all of these stories up, but I have all the paperwork and pictures to prove him wrong, along with my dog's remains in a box. I have owned many German Shepherds and one of the biggest problems they can develop is hip dysplasia, so I did not worry whether Tristen's diagnosis would fall under their lifetime health guarantee, because that is a given with any reputable German Shepherd breeder. My previous experience has been a five year health guarantee, covering hip dysplasia, with at least three breeders I have purchased a puppy from in the past. At this point, both Hugh and Angela told me Tristen did not have hip dysplasia and his diagnosis was incorrect. Long story short, Hugh does not honor his guarantee on the health of his ouppies or anything else for that matter. He got lucky and had a good stud that produced beautiful puppies and made a fortune. I believe he's in the Rye, Colorado area now, doing the same thing. BEWARE OF THIS BREEDER!!

We cannot thank Manny and Kelsey at Humble Paws enough for the incredible work they've done with…read moreour dog, Marcus. Before working with them, we were struggling with his intense fear-based aggression--lunging, snarling, and snapping at strangers, even after repeated introductions. It was heartbreaking because, at home, he was a loving and well-mannered companion, but out in the world, his anxiety made everyday activities stressful and unpredictable. After spending six weeks with Manny and Kelsey, Marcus has made an unbelievable turnaround. He is now able to be in public without lunging, growling, or reacting aggressively. He is calmer, more confident, and better equipped to handle new experiences without fear. While we never expected him to become a completely different dog, he has truly become the best version of himself--happier, more at ease, and able to meet life's challenges in a way we never thought possible. The team at Humble Paws didn't just train Marcus; they understood him, worked with his needs, and gave him (and us) the tools to succeed. Their patience, expertise, and dedication have been life-changing, and we are forever grateful for the progress they've helped him achieve. If you're struggling with a reactive dog and wondering if there's hope--there is. We wholeheartedly recommend Humble Paws!
