Testimonials

“Tanya was so good with my 1-year-old pup. She took time to gauge our needs and opportunities for improvement and tailored the training accordingly. She was very flexible about timing and training location also. Would highly recommend!”
– Jeffrey S.

“The Family Pupz team has been excellent to work with and super helpful! A great dog-training option in Denver!”

“I adopted a shelter puppy who turned out to be hyperactive to the point of being unmanageable. Tanya came in and identified exactly what we needed to work on, and was so helpful in not only training Finn, but in teaching me how to train too! …”
