WELCOME TO OUR TESTIMONIALS PAGE!

“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!”

-Alexander R.

“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! …”

-Rachel R.

“I've had my blue heeler for nearly 3 years. She was reactive, often lunging at cars/people/other dogs. I talked to our vet about it and they recommended Family Pupz. With Tanya's help Tuna totally turned it around. She is less reactive, can pass dogs + people without barking/lunging and just seems overall less anxious…”

-Martha U.

“Tanya is the BEST trainer in Denver. I adopted a 7 year old yorkie with severe anxiety, potty training issues and behavioral problems. I hired another trainer before Tanya and didn’t see any results with them. The potty training issues were the biggest thing that I wanted help with because I tried EVERYTHING: potty pads, crates, grass pads, medication, and even a dog litter box…”

-Danielle P.

“Tanya is everything I hoped I would be able to find in a dog trainer and more. I found Family Pupz through their puppy socialization classes, and knew immediately that I wanted to work with Tanya for 1:1 training with my bernadoodle puppy Mason. Before working with Tanya, Mason loved to eat anything/everything off the ground and jumped up on every person and dog he saw when we were out on walks…”

-Rachel R.

“I highly recommend Tanya for all of your dog training needs! She has been incredibly helpful for us and was always so supportive, empathetic, and encouraging. She follows up every session with very detailed notes and sometimes videos, so I always felt set up for success practicing the training on my own….”

-Annalise Y.

“Tanya helped my dachshund go from reactive and unresponsive to calm and attentive. She taught me strategies to change Frankie's reaction and emotions when seeing or walking past another dog. I did not think we could actually get to the point of being able to walk past another dog without him barking and lunging…”

-Meg M.

“Tanya was an amazing trainer! My pup Chicken and I had just moved to Denver. This brought leash reactivity and anxiety about the big city. Tanya was patient with both Chicken and I to find a training plan that worked for us. After just six sessions, Chicken feels more comfortable walking in the busy neighborhood and stays by my side when walking past other dogs. Thank you Tanya for helping us to feel more confident in our new home!”

-Rebecca A.

“Tanya is a wonderful trainer. When I was in Colorado she helped me out at the animal shelter alot and since I have enjoyed her online courses”

-Ahmia B.

“Tanya has been amazing at guiding us through puppyhood with our puppy Ollie! Tanya is always very professional, kind, patient and responsive with us and our puppy and she always takes special care in recognizing and taking into account the training we’ve done and other solutions we’ve tried. She helps us break up “the big problems” and work out smaller, easy to do and understand steps…”

-Sarah K.

“Highly recommend Tanya's training classes. So far I have only done one class, and my puppy is so much well behaved. Very knowledagble and skilled in what she teaches. If you have a puppy or older dog that needs training I highly recommend you bring him/her to Tanya”

-Sabrina S.

“This class is awesome! So organized, informative, fun and friendly environment. So glad we got into these small personal classes. Well worth it! Tanya and Charles are so helpful and honestly some of the kindest people I’ve met in Denver: compared to other puppy socialization classes we tried previously this class is the best.”

-Maggie G.

“I had a great experience with Tanya. My blind dog got attacked by another dog in the park over a year ago and has had unpredictable aggression towards some other dogs ever since. Tanya worked with me to teach Lulu to stay and come, and taught me how to slowly introduce her to other dogs…”

-Dayna S.

“Tanya Lim is an amazing dog trainer and totally helped our little puppy become his best self. During the puppy training course we worked on all sorts of things from basic manners to loose leash walking to troubleshooting nipping issues…”

-Allison C.

“Tanya is incredible! She is extremely knowledgable, skilled, and passionate in her work. She listened thoroughly to what our wants and needs were for our dog during the initial consultation…”

-Ryan D.

“Working with Tanya was amazing! She is truly a dog whisperer and helped my dog with his human anxiety and barking tendencies. I would recommend Tanya to everyone….”

-Miriam B.

“We’ve had several sessions with Tanya for our fearful dog and she’s amazing. Even during our consultation session I was left impressed with her knowledge and professionalism compared to other trainers…“

-Hannah S.

“Working with Tanya and Family Pupz is the best decision I’ve made as a new puppy parent. It’s an investment of time and money, but that’s a part of being a parent and it’s what you’ve signed up for already by bringing home a new friend…”

-David K.

“Tanya was amazing to work with! I saw incredible results with my puppy french bulldog after working with Tanya for 6 weeks. I highly recommend working with her. Thank you, Tanya!”

-Haley V.

“I was referred to Tanya by an overwhelming amount of recommendations from an online moms group. I had a new baby and my dog, Miah was almost impossible to walk on a leash due to excessive pulling and a mean squirrel obsession. I couldn’t even walk her on my own let alone with my other dog and a stroller until we met Tanya…”

-Brittany M.

“Tanya was a great trainer to work with! She gave me the tools to help my reactive dog and found what worked for us.”

-Rachel M.

“I reached out to Tanya with Family Pupz for help for my dog, Nico. My dog had some issues on the leash, basic commands, and had some serious separation anxiety. Tanya was incredibly helpful addressing these issues and building up his confidence…”

-Olivia W.

“Tanya helped working with my little puppy on some of the basic manners. We were able to get him to improve greatly on jumping and loose leash walking and have continued with the training given on our own to further his skills. One thing that was very helpful is she provided handouts that contained a summary of all the information…”

-Matt S.

“We had the best time at a group puppy class! We learned so much from Tanya in just one hour about how to positively train our puppy not to jump. We can't wait to take another class and work with Tanya again!”

-Lauren Z.

“We’ve been to a few of the socialization events at both Ironton and the Watering Bowl and they’ve all been great. The puppies (and dogs) get to play with each other as well as practice training elements like polite greetings. Tanya, the head trainer, always provides feedback on body language…”

-Allison S.

“Tanya has been invaluable in helping train and navigate all of the things that go along with having a new puppy. When I first got my puppy I was overwhelmed with all the conflicting information online but Tanya listened and answered all of my questions and now I feel confident in helping my puppy become…”

-Hayley D.

“Tanya is amazing! We work with her individually as a trainer and have also attended her puppy class. She's thoughtful, clear, and does an excellent job teaching by doing. She always makes sure we fully understand how to bring the skills we learn in our sessions into our lives. We love working with her and can't imagine raising our puppy without her help.”

-Rebecca P.

“Tanya has been amazing to work with! We rescued our puppy Myki at 9 weeks old, and are so happy with Family Pupz's Puppy Training Package! Myki was very afraid of his crate, and went through a really bad biting phase. We worked through both of those things with Tanya. Not only were the in-person private sessions so valuable…”

-Mandy K.

“Tanya is amazing! She has a very warm and calming personality which made my anxious little guy feel immediately comfortable with her. I really liked her style of training with the focus on positive reinforcement and learned a lot. Tanya is very passionate about her work and loved to hear that she volunteers some of her time to train shelter dogs …”

-Erin O.

“We were referred to Tanya at Family Pupz by the Humane Society of South Platte Valley in September where we adopted our then 9 month old puppy. We quickly realized after we brought him home that we were going to need much more help beyond the basic puppy commands. Our little guy was extremely timid…”

-Jenna W.

“Working with Family Pupz was an amazing experience! Tanya, the trainer, is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work and truly cares for the well-being of the dogs. During the initial consult, she asked us about our goals with our pup and created a program to tackle each one. During the trainings, she was very flexible…”

-Hieu P.

“Tanya was wonderful with my puppy! I love that she focuses only on positive reinforcement. She helped to teach us the basics but also helped to trouble shoot challenges we were running into. I'd definitely recommend Tanya!”

-Stephanie S.

“My dogs needed a lot of work because I have not been a great dad when it comes to training and discipline. I have two very friendly (with everyone except the mail delivery person) dogs. Too friendly. They bark and jump on visitors looking for affection. In addition, my Terrier will attack my Lab without any notice, usually when he decides no one is paying too much attention to my Lab. Tanya was amazing with the dogs. . .”

-Michael S.

“Tanya is an absolutely amazing trainer. She is very patient and only uses positive reinforcement during training sessions. We have a very high energy puppy and she was able to coach us through how to redirect his actions helping us to better loose leash walk, calmly meet visitors, redirect counter surfing urges and better nail down the basics of sit, stay…”

-Becca R.

“My wife and I have two dogs; one was disobedient and one was fearful. Our dogs immediately fell in love with Tanya after our first meeting. Her calm, yet effective training style made a huge impact on our dogs’ behavior. Not only did Tanya’s training program reduce our dog’s fearfulness, but also made them much more obedient. I would definitely recommend …”

-Kevin R.

“My husband and I adopted a 5 year old lab from the Denver Animal Shelter and were quickly overwhelmed when we realized she was reactive on walks (ie: she barks and lunges at other dogs). We were referred to Tanya by our vet practice and eventually worked with her through six sessions not only on our dog's reactivity …”

-Maria M.

“Tanya is the best dog trainer in Denver! We have worked with Tanya for several training sessions. She has always been very compassionate and patient with my dog and I. She not only trains my dog, but me as well! She has an extensive background in training and I love that she has embedded herself in the community - hosting dog happy hours…”

-Madison M.

“Tanya is wonderful! We got referred to her by Dr. Robb at Goodheart Vet after our dog Ranger was very reactive to receiving vaccines. Tanya not only helped Ranger get more comfortable with people approaching and petting him, she also worked hard with us on teaching Ranger loose-leash skills. Ranger has been less anxious…”

-Trish S.
