Introduction: Hi. I’m Tammy. Thank you for checking out my profile. My career in the pet industry started in 1990 working at a local veterinary clinic and evolved into a lifelong journey with animals both in the physical and emotional health of the animals in my care. I’ve worked with a wide range of dog breeds, ages and temperaments. My expertise includes obedience, behavior shaping and modification, anxiety and aggression issues, and more. Additionally, my background as a Registered Veterinary Technician has given me a unique perspective on dog health and wellness, allowing me to provide comprehensive care for the dogs in my charge. Whether working with dogs in person or virtually, I prioritize positive reinforcement techniques that promote healthy, happy relationships between dogs and their human family members. My commitment to continuing education and staying up-to-date on the latest industry developments ensures that I always provide the best possible care for my clients and their dogs.

I had a FANTASTIC experience with Alpha Zen K-9 Academy. Tammy was very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. My dog, Coco loved her instantly! I highly recommend using Alpha-Zen K-9 Academy for all your training and boarding needs!

Tammy and Dave have been God sent. My pup Suki is part princess and part tasmanian devil 😈 and she is also my first dog. Tammy has taught her everything till date from crate training to leash walking with distractions. She is patient, professional and she is my pup's favorite human 😅. I can wait to hire her for more advanced training.

My husband and I are two overwhelmed fist time puppy parents. Luckily, we have Tammy and Dave helping us! Our puppy Trooper is now such a sweet boy. Tammy is very patient, considerate, and of course, professional. She trained Trooper and more importantly, also trained us! We can’t say enough thanks to her!

If you’re debating who to go to for training - you can stop here , the most wonderful trainers who took amazing care of our puppy who learned more than we could have hoped while he was at board and train. The follow up lessons have been great at making sure he keeps up with his commands and at correcting anything new that comes up as he is back in our home. We have had another dog before and worked with other trainers in the past - this puppy school is truly the best!

I absolutely love Tammy and her husband, Dave, and so do our dogs. They have a special touch with them for sure. My dogs came back from a two week training at their home and there was a huge difference. Tammy helped reestablish some much needed good manners for my dogs and showed me how to continue with the training at home. Her follow up sessions are very helpful to keep me accountable for continued training for my dogs. Her solutions really work and are very practical and easy to implement. My dogs are much the better for having spent time training with Tammy!
