Just as there is no,
"One size fits all Dog Training"
There is no "one size format for WHERE owners need to train".
You can schedule one-on-one training meet ups with a trainer, schedule FaceTime or Zoom meetings, Train over the phone or even Train online through E-mails
The important thing is your dog is getting the training they need and that you the owner have a trainer who can offer you the support and knowledge along the way.

This is why I created A.R.T Guides years ago.

Let's face it. Life never stops. Something always seems to happen and it seems we are busier now than we have ever been.
Despite the chaos of life, we absolutely love our dogs and we want to offer them the best we can for every aspect of their life.
It can be difficult to try and work in Dog trainers in our busy schedules, let alone continue on with the homework needed with our dogs to ensure success.

A.R.T Guides give you that peace of mind of being able to train on YOUR time. You have your guide available to you 24/7 every single day. You can work out a schedule to commit to that fits your lifestyle.
A.R.T Guides can be tailored to you and your dogs specific needs and struggles.
You will have access to me via emails to help you troubleshoot problem areas you are having for the training your A.R.T Guide provides.

I've created these Guides to be as affordable as possible for dog owners.

💡 Why it’s worth it:
Most recall guides you’ll find online are just static PDFs—no personal guidance, no editable templates, and no follow-up.
The Recall A.R.T Guide is different: it’s a mini-coaching package, giving you tools and access to professional support. You’re not just buying a guide—you’re getting a roadmap to a reliable recall, backed by a trainer who will help you along the way.

Message me today to get started with your A.R.T Guide.

Do not beat yourself up over mistakes.
Some dogs take longer than others to learn behaviors and skills.
The important part is not giving up!
When a mistake happens, it’s perfectly okay to take a step back and say, “shoot!”
But don’t live in the past.
Move forward. Just like your dog does. Learn from your mistake and work to improve. 🥰

Breathe. It’s okay. Today is a brand new day and you got this!

Tiffany's Dog Training Rule for the day:

When it comes to dog training, consistency is everything — and that starts with setting rules you’re actually willing to enforce. Don’t create boundaries that you’ll bend “just this once,” because to your dog, that one exception changes the entire rule. If you allow jumping sometimes, or ignore it when you’re tired, your dog learns that following commands is optional.
Clear, fair, and consistent expectations help your dog feel secure and understand what’s expected of them. So before setting a rule, ask yourself: “Will I stick to this every time?” If not, adjust it — because rules only work when you mean them.

What is punishment?
Unfortunately, many people have disassociated what the meaning of punishment actually is.

Punishment is not a synonym for getting angry.
Loosing one's temper isn't the same thing as making a correction.
It’s letting our dogs know that we don't approve of their unwanted behaviors.

It’s important to establish a clear communication with our dogs to tell them what is correct and what is not correct behavior.

What happens when we ground our kids from their Xbox, phones, video games or hanging out with friends?
This is a form of punishment.

What happens when we discipline our children by s***king them because we gave verbal warning not to touch the boiling water on the stove?
Do we s***k out of anger and abuse?
Absolutely not! Toddlers don’t understand that the consequences for pulling down a pot of boiling water can result in a much more severe action.
The same logic goes into giving our dogs a correction.
Sometimes all physical form of discipline can mean life saving matters to someone who doesn't understand the way we communicate.

What would you do if your dog pulls you into oncoming traffic? Will you let go so there is no leash pressure and hope Fido doesn’t get run over? Or are you going to use the tools you have and give the leash a pop or snap to redirect and correct your dog?

Punishment is not abuse.
Dogs do not understand the thinking process like humans do, they simply can not reason in the same ways.
Remember, dogs are animals, not humans.
The way they communicate and learn is different from us.

Dogs are much happier once clear communication has been established of what they can and cannot do.
