Introduction: Hi! My name is Tearza. I'm a ccdt certified dog trainer. I'm also a member of the pet professional guild. A mom to a toddler and two fur babies. I've wanted to be a trainer since I could remember its been my dream that I've been lucky enough to live. I have been training for many years making sure I'm up to date on the newest techniques. i strive to help families and make life easier for us humans and our four legged companions. I believe in letting a dog express their natural instincts and making everyday life fun for our best friends. I can provide behavioral modification training and basic/ advanced training. All positive training techniques only. we now know from studying our dogs brains and the way they think that all positive training is more effective, reliable, and has a higher rate of success then other methods. I aim to help educate owners and help them make their best friends happy and understood in life so we can all coexist together in harmony.

I have 3 Rescue German Shepherds I needed help controlling!! I was delighted to find that Tearza loves working with GSD'S and offers discounts for Rescue dogs!❤ She has given great advice and I feel more in control now. I had done the Petsmart and Petco dog training group classes but the private lessons with Tearza are much better! She worked with all my dogs so more affordable than Group classes at Petsmart!! Highly recommend!!!!

Natural Paws Dog Training has been a blessing in our household, Tearza is a wonderful young lady who has a Special Gift in working with our animals. She knows just want to do and it just seems to come natural to her. I have been afraid to take my new dog out for a walk because of excessive pulling. Tearza has been able to come up with a couple of suggestions and came with myself and my husband to take the dog for a walk and what to do if she starts to pull again. Slowly, my stress is starting to leave. I am so happy with so many of her suggestions of what to do and want to buy for our furry friends. She will definitely be coming again and once again I truly feel blessed to have found her. Tearza, you are wonderful! Margaret A.

I met Tearza 3 lessons ago. She came to my home which is great for my husband and I. She impressed me from the very first minute with my dog. Cooper (Jack Russell Terrier) was resource guarding and THE only dog that I've had to ever exhibit this behavior. She talked to me about the process I used and immediately found his issue of getting over excited then quickly to guarding by snarling and more bad aggressive behavior. Since that 5 minute discussion I've not had Cooper snarl or get aggressive with me or my husband at all. We are advancing to other techniques she uses as well to just get him to a state of calm no resource guarding necessary (I say that because if we go at all back to our original method of feeding he starts up again with the negative behavior.) To me this was a little "miracle" with Cooper. We also have been reviewing his general commands and strengthening his responses to me. I am grateful for her training leadership and knowledge. Please also know Tearza is a kind compassionate person to people and all animals. She really impressed me right from the start. She also shows great patience, listens well, explains things different ways and has really re-instilled my love for Cooper. You must know that my husband was ready to get rid of Cooper until after the very first lesson. If you need any kind of help with your dog, call Tearza, I know you won't be disappointed. Oh and she is kind to the wallet too!

Tearza is exceptional. This is my first dog and he’s a puppy at that. I was lost and had no clue what I was doing with him. She was patient and incredibly knowledgeable. She left me feeling empowered to be a great dog mama.

Just one session and already see a difference with our pup! We still have profess to make and ensuring her understands commands and good behavior and when to work on the bad ones. I would highly recommend Natural Paws to anyone who is looking for great training for their paw babies.
