TRAINING DETAILS
 

​​

Travel Radius

  • In-person training is available in Baltimore County and Baltimore City in the following neighborhoods most days of the week:

 

Owings Mills, Randallstown, Reisterstown, Glyndon, Pikesville, Stevenson, Lutherville-Timonium, Cockeysville, Hunt Valley, Sparks, Roland Park, Homeland, Guilford, Cedarcroft, Hampden, Riderwood, Stoneleigh, Ruxton, Mt. Washington, Towson, and Hampton.​

  • Virtual training is effective and available worldwide as long as our scheduling works out.​

  • Hybrid training, i.e., combining virtual and in-person services, is available if you can meet at certain parks or home improvement stores. 

Availability & Scheduling

  • Private, in-person visits are available most weekdays and Sunday mornings.

  • Early mornings are available some weekdays on request at 7a or 8:15a.

  • Evenings are available virtually all the time and, on request, in-person for some locations during DST. We practice inside when it's under 40-45 degrees or inclement, which may be in your home or a home improvement store. 

  • Cancellations must be made 72+ hours in advance to reschedule the session unless someone else can fill the spot.

Training Agreements​

  • You believe in working with a dog training and behavior professional who isn't just good with dogs but also prioritizes continuing education and uses evidence-based training methods to prioritize behavioral health for dogs and compassionate work with humans.

  • You don't want to train your dog using methods that involve pain, discomfort, threat, yelling, hitting, or intimidation of any kind, and if you've done so in the past, you are ready to make a change. We agree not to use aversive tools such as prong/pinch collars, choke collars, shock (e-, stim, educator) collars, slip leads, leash pops, bonkers, chain bags, penny cans, sprayed water, compressed air, and ultrasonic sound. ​​

  • You understand that Tanzi finds shock fences detrimental to dogs' behavior and quality of life, particularly if they are experiencing fear, anxiety, phobia, reactivity, or stranger danger. You are open to exploring alternatives. (Puppies and dogs without those issues often have them after these fences are installed.)

  • You seek out appropriate veterinary expertise when your dog exhibits pain, itching, anxiety, fear, or phobia that prevents it from having a good quality of life, including learning and retaining information. You are also open to learning more about the appropriate use of medication to improve physical and mental health when recommended.

Next Steps 

  • After you click the red button below to request an appointment, Tanzi will arrange a date for your consultation, then you can move on to training after the consultation.

  • You then get 2 messages: 1) invoice and 2) paperwork. Please review carefully, sign and return the paperwork, and then pay your invoice.

  • Once Tanzi has that all back, she will email you calendar confirmations via Google Calendar.​

 

If you have more questions, visit FAQ or Zoom Office Hours, where Tanzi can discuss general training information and questions with you, and you can get a feel for what it might be like to work together. Specific advice for your dog's issues is available only when you are an established client.

"Tanzi is the best dog trainer I have ever worked with. She is incredibly knowledgable, kind and patient. She explains not only the how, but also the why, which is so important for training your dog when she is not right there with you. She will work with you and your dog to create a customized training plan for YOUR dog, not a cookie cutter one-size-fits all approach. I cannot recommend Tanzi enough!"

-Denise & Jax, Perry Hall, MD​​

"Tanzi is the best! She knows SOOOOO MUCH about dogs AND people and how they interact. She is a lifesaver and we are so lucky to have found her. We were very experienced dog owners with a very anxious puppy, unlike anything we had ever experienced before. She helped us get things on the right track! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
