Testimonials
“Tenasity is the best! We adopted our Charlie Star from GRRA 2 months ago. Charlie was and is still being trained by Tenasity. Marcos Charlie’s trainer is personable and patient. He is so good with Charlie and just knows how to handle him. We also have had the privilege of working with several team members at Tenasity and they all are the best. They rock at customer service and are so dedicated to their 4 legged customers and loyal to the 2 legged ones! I thank Tenasity’s team for all of their dedication on training Charlie Star, he would not be the well behaved dog he is today if it was not for Tenasity’s training and patience. Go with Tenasity hands down!”
– John~~Julie~~Charlie Star
“I would give Tenasity 100 stars if I could. We started working with Tenasity almost 3 years ago after trying several different trainers and behavioral specialists. For our fear reactive rescue pup, Tenasity’s philosophy and approach to both dog training and human education was the perfect match. Tenasity has given us the tools, guidance, support and love to navigate life with a reactive dog and they continue to help us thrive. We have peace of mind on vacation because our dog boards with the Tenasity team and it’s the only place he is comfortable and 100% safe.”
– Client
“We adopted Dodge from a shelter and he was a handful. From the minute we spoke with Stace, to the session we had with Gabe the next day, made us feel at ease. When dropping off Dodge, we met Marcos who was amazing… The progress he made in such a short time is amazing. We would highly recommend Tenasity to anyone.”
– Andrea and Greg
