Martin Dog Training
Tracy-Thank you so much for helping Lola on her road to being an awesome pup! We've both enjoyed puppy class and play! Here's a small token to show our appreciation though I'm sure it doesn't cover a fraction of the 4 billion lbs. of cheese my chowhound worked you for on a weekly basis :) THANK YOU!!!
I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone. You're well worth your fees...and more. Not only do you let Magnus out during the day, you help to socialize him so he'll grow into a well-adjusted dog. You take the time to chronicle the events of the day in his journal along with emails and pics. You're simply the best!! Thank you!!

We lovingly refer to Tracy as the dog whisperer in our house. We used her pet sitting services for our beloved older pitbull until he passed away. When we decided we wanted to adopt a new dog we knew that we would want to keep Tracy in mind if training was needed. We adopted a rescue dog and immediately called Tracy to come over and judge the dog's temperament and see if she'd be ok with our two cats and baby that was on the way. Tracy came over and in just a few hours was able to show us a number of training tips and also evaluated our new dog with our cats and put us at ease that our dog was actually submissive to the cats would be a good fit. It took a huge amount of stress off of us to know that our new pet was a great addition to our family and to have tips to work with her on some basic commands. Tracy has a lot of knowledge and experience in dealing with animals and provide great advice and assistance in training your pet. I can't recommend her enough!

Thank you for easing my fears about walking Aldo. I have been so frustrated, thinking he has to walk perfectly at my side. I love that you said the walk is for dogs to smell and investigate! He is getting a little better as we go, not stopping or laying down every few steps. Your training is so clear, I really appreciate everything you all do and I am patting myself on the back that I signed up for classes. I want to continue training for as long as you will have us.

Tracy, thank you so much! You are an awesome teacher! Loved that you answered questions outside of class - so helpful. I really like your teaching style - you always find something I can improve on, but you always found something positive to say. I'm definitely going to recommend this class to all my friends with puppies.

I am very impressed with Tracy's training skills. She uses positive reinforcement, provides excellent feedback to the pet parent, and is open to trying different training methods if you have preferences based on your unique situation (like having multiple pets). I have seen a huge improvement in my dogs since Tracy started working with them.

Thank you for all your guidance and care. These pictures make me smile and are a great reminder of how far we have all come! Spending time with you has been a blessing and we are so thankful for you and Leeann. You are both beautiful and will be in our hearts. ❤️

Very professional and the dogs love her. I will continue to use her! - Dallas in KCKS

Thank you for helping my beautiful boy learn so much. From not wanting to walk up the steps and come in the building to he can't wait to get in the door and mingle with the other pups, he has come so far. Thanks for everything.

Martin Training & Behavior
We cannot begin to express how much you have impacted our lives and Huey's life and enabled him to become the confident and independent dog he is developing into. When we started this process, we never imagined he could make it this far. Huey has been consistently staying home by himself for extended periods of 4 to 8 hours every few days and has grown less fixated on when we leave and arrive. He just does normal dog things. We could not have done this without you. Your training, in working with us and Huey, was and is more than we could have hoped for. Thank you so much for all you have done for us!

I cannot say enough about how beneficial class was for our family. I enjoyed the structure of it. I liked that it was 6 consecutive weeks which made us work on the skills we had just learned. I was a little nervous having class with other dogs but being in a setting with other dogs made Butters learn to listen to our commands when she was distracted. But I did like that the class sizes were small, no more than 6 dogs.
-Butter's mom and dad, Maggie and Matt
I so enjoyed the training, and I certainly learned a lot!! Thank you so much to you and your team for being so informative and fun 😊 I look forward to trying out other classes in the future.

I have been thrilled to have had the opportunity to progress through the NW courses with you. Your teaching style really clicks 😀 I have watched a couple of your searches with Harry on YouTube. They're very informative! Good luck with the ORT! Thank you.
-Juniper's mom, Rachel
Thank you so much. We really appreciate all the support that you have provided. I know that we aren't completely there, but I can't believe that we have gotten to a point where we can be gone for 20-25 minutes without an anxiety attack--we are so hopeful for the future! She has become less and less of a helicopter dog--hanging out by herself in different rooms/floors for extended periods of time. This is something that we think is connected to your training! Thank you for enabling us to better help our sweet pup! :-)
-Mila's mom, Maggie
Thanks, Tracy! You were amazing and so patient with us. I haven’t stopped telling people about you. I’ve never seen a trainer so skilled, calm, and reassuring. It’s no wonder the dogs respond so well to you!

Thank you! We had a great time and learned so much. We are thrilled with how much more outgoing Harry is with other pups since the first class!
-Harry's mom, Katelyn
Thank you for all of your help. I had forgot how much work it is to have a pup. You have made that process easier. I will be at some family manners classes at some point down the road. I also want to try scent work and agility.

Thanks so much, Tracy! Millie LOVED coming to class and we really enjoyed learning so much from you and each of the classes. Thanks for all your hard work and patience with us! We are so appreciative!!
-Millie's mom, Shelby
Thank you Tracy! We had so much fun and really appreciated all your help around our fears of her separation anxiety. You'll be happy to know she is now totally fine in the crate when we leave, glad we powered through it!!
-Sophie's mom, Jenny
Thanks again for a really fun scentwork class! I would have never known this was your first nosework class, and it was great to get Maverick back out amongst his trainer friends like you and KJ, and see other pups besides his own pack. I learned so much in this class and will keep working on helping Maverick develop.
-Maverick's mom, Paula
Hi Tracy! Thank you so much! We are so thankful to have found your classes. They have made a world of difference for us in training Tucker. You and your team are simply outstanding and we love working with you guys!! We can’t wait to continue with you in adolescence classes!
-Tucker's dad and mom, Drew and Jamie
Thanks for the class, it was really fun!
-Annie's mom, Shannon
Thank you for helping to increase Gigi's confidence and strengthen the bond between us. I really appreciate your flexibility in "learning style" and always recognizing or pointing out the victories, no matter how small! I look forward to taking additional classes!
-Gigi's mom, Cathy
Tracy, thank you so much for all of the training tips. It was a wonderful experience. I am promoting you all on my social media. I personally learned so much.
-Lvste's dad, Steven
Thank you so much! We loved class with you and it’s like we have a totally different dog. The way you explain things is so easy to understand and implement at home. We are very thankful for you!
-Nova's mom, Taylor
Thank you so much for your teaching! I knew Eula enjoyed training, but she could hardly contain her excitement every time we came to class. You all helped me see her potential and eagerness to learn in a new light. We had such a great time, and we both learned so much, so thank you.
-Eula's mom, Rachel
It was really fun! I had a good time and I think Beans DEFINITELY did, too. Doing something he enjoys in a class setting has been great for his confidence.
-Beans' mom, Lauren
Thank you so much for helping us through the classes with Toby. We see him improving all the time and that makes for a happy/confident puppy!! He loves school and gets really excited when mom tells him we’re going to school. He reacts with so much more happiness and excitement when I say we’re going to school, than just saying we’re going bye bye or to the park. He knows the difference and it really shows. Can’t thank you all enough for making these classes such a wonderful experience for him!!
-Toby's mom, Sharlene
We enjoyed learning so many great tricks and tools to help train Daisy! We appreciate it!
-Daisy's mom, Carly
We enjoyed the class very much. Thank you for being such a great teacher for Willow. We definitely will be looking at scheduling that next class in the near future.
-Willow's dad, Rodney
I wanted to give you a quick update and THANK YOU! Wally joined me at "Bring Your Dog to Work Day" today at my office and was the MOST well behaved (and youngest) pup in the building. He sat quietly by my desk for most of the day and was very nice to all the other doggos. (We also had a little dog show this afternoon, and he was voted Best in Show!) Thank you so much for helping us get him to this point!
-Wally's mom, Kate
Great class. Beau looked forward to attending and I thought he did okay for his first time in that type of environment. Again, thanks and I felt your training class was worth our effort!
-Beau's dad, Gordon
We appreciate all you have done for our pups. Lola is looking forward to more scent work studies with you in the future.
