About
My name is Tanya Stang.
For starters I'd like to thank you for your inquiry into Calls 4 Paws.
My passion in this profession is to make families happy with their new furbaby & to help the owner better understand what their pup needs.
I was a former deputy on the Search & Rescue Division for DeSoto County Sheriff's Department.
I decided I wanted to work with dogs because of how much I have come to learn about what our animals already know about our own behavior...
I specialize in human to canine communications & I would love the chance to work with you & your family.
I also do pet sitting at your home (because we all know how it upsets the pup to stay at the kennel, lol) & dog walking for the busy 2 legged owners.
I currently have Diamond, a 3 year old spoiled pit bull, she's my best friend.
I also have a 2 year old male pit bull named Ivory who has stolen my heart.
Give me 1% of your trust and I will earn the other 99%.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks again,
Tanya Stang

This was the first time I hired a professional Pet Sitter, but Tanya took wonderful care of my 2 dogs. I was very pleased with her experience, and she was absolutely wonderful to my dogs. She sent pictures almost every day, which showed they were being well taken care of. I will be using Tanya again and I would absolutely refer her to anyone that needs a pet sitter.

Tanya took care of everything at home for me, including some things that I had not asked her to do. It was so good to come home and find my cats well taken care of and everything in order. I would certainly recommend Tanya. She did a great job.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices vary for a couple of reasons:
1. Nobody knows how long it is going to take for the dog to learn.
2. Pups have a very short attention span. I normally only start at a half hour with them for the first couple of sessions, then move to the hour.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start off with a meet & greet, tell them how I train and watch to see how their pup is responding to both me & them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
S.A.R. Training
C.E.R.T. Training
Animal Behavioral Therapist
