Testimonials

“Tracy is an excellent trainer, she is compassionate, dedicated and is very passionate about her work. She worked with us, our new puppy and six-year-old Collie on a regular weekly basis, for the past 8 weeks and we are delighted with the outcome. Our new puppy understands & obeys his commands. He is truly a happy and confident puppy. Our middle-aged dog has learned to be a great example for her little brother and no longer lunges on her leash when loud trucks pass by and understands the importance of settling into her “place” and staying there until she is released once we provide her with the “ok” command to do so. We are passionate about our pets and grateful for all Tracy has done for us and our fur babies! We are happy to recommend Tracy Hickler, Dogs in Bloom Training and Rehabilitation as a highly-skilled and compassionate dog trainer. Thank you, Tracy!”
-Caryl Pomales

“Tracy is fantastic! She is very knowledgable and has helped us with everything from potty training techniques, crate training, basic commands, e collar training, and everything in between. Tracy is patient and passionate. I would highly recommend Dogs In Bloom. You won’t be disappointed!”
-Amy Lee-Lovelady

“We had hired other trainers, purchased courses and books, and did everything we could to eliminate Peanut’s fear based aggressive reaction to some people, dogs and loud noises. We had tried everything and realized that we needed an expert who worked with dogs with issues. We are so happy we found Tracy. She is amazing and cares about your dog as much as you do! She helped our dog become calmer, less reactive and responsive to our direction. Tracy gave us the tools to ensure our family succeeds. We are so happy we hired her! After we hired her we found out our vet recommends her services too!!! Tracy Rocks!!!”
