Private Training Sessions

My name is Tamryn Fudge. I help people bring balance to the lives they share with their dogs. Whether we are working with the new possibilities of a puppy, the challenge of aggression or the mystery of insecurity; my goal is always to facilitate balance.

My methods are grounded in compassion, common sense and intuition - drawn from my 20 years of working with dogs. The work I do is less about obedience and dominance and more about careful observation with fresh eyes and an open heart.

When approached from this perspective, the individual needs of both dog and human are addressed in such a way that deeper change is possible. My intention is to facilitate the best possible outcome in every situation.

I can be helpful with opportunities and challenges such as:

• manners, leash pulling, boundaries, coming when called (recall)
• aggression towards people and other animals
• anxiety issues
• confidence building
• puppy coaching
• choosing and integrating new dogs into families
• over-excitability
• excessive barking
• “dominance” issues
• trauma recovery
• re-homing assessment and decision-making

  

Dog Training Programs: I offer private sessions, so I can get to know you and your dog and offer the most help possible. If are looking for the socialization that group classes provide, our dog daycare  offers an incredible socialization opportunity.

*NOTE: if you live outside of Kamloops, and we decide it is important that I observe your dog in his or her own environment, there may be an additional travel fee for sessions held in your home.

However, if we decide it is not important that I observe your dog in his or her home environment, you can come into Kamloops to have your session at our training facility. In which case, there is no additional travel fee. Sessions held at our training facility are limited to evenings, as we have dog daycare in the building until 5:30 PM.
